Transfer to Khao Lak: Your Journey to Tranquility
Khao Lak is the perfect antidote to the hustle and bustle of Phuket. Located in the Phang Nga province on the Thai mainland, this stunning stretch of coastline is famous for its endless golden beaches, lush national parks, and as the primary gateway to the world-renowned Similan Islands.
However, reaching this paradise requires a bit of travel. Khao Lak is located approximately 80 kilometers (50 miles) north of Phuket International Airport (HKT). Unlike the short hop to Patong, the journey to Khao Lak is a proper road trip that takes between 1 hour and 15 minutes to 1.5 hours.
After a long international flight, the last thing you want is to negotiate with aggressive taxi touts or wait for a shared minivan to fill up. Booking a private transfer from Phuket Airport to Khao Lak is the safest, fastest, and most relaxing way to start your vacation.
Why Choose a Private Taxi to Khao Lak?
While public transport exists, it is often inconvenient for this specific route due to the distance. Here is why savvy travelers prefer our private car service:
1. Direct "Door-to-Door" Service
Khao Lak is not just one beach; it is a series of villages stretching over 25 kilometers. Public buses or shared airport shuttles often drop passengers at the main highway, which can be a long walk from your beachfront resort.
Our driver picks you up at the airport arrivals hall and drives you directly to your hotel lobby, whether you are staying in the busy center of Bang Niang, the quiet luxury of Kuk Kak, or the secluded Pak Weep Beach.
Advantages of Our Transfer Service
2. Comfort for the Long Drive
The drive involves crossing the Sarasin Bridge (connecting Phuket to the mainland) and navigating winding coastal roads. Doing this in a cramped shared van with frequent stops can be exhausting.
Our vehicles are maintained to the highest standards, offering powerful air conditioning, plenty of legroom, and a smooth ride. You can recline your seat, watch the tropical scenery pass by, and arrive refreshed.
3. Ideal for Divers and Families
Khao Lak is a magnet for scuba divers heading to the Similans and families seeking a quiet retreat. This often means lots of luggage: dive gear, large suitcases, and strollers.
Standard taxis at the airport often have LPG gas tanks in the trunk, leaving little room for bags. Our SUVs and Private Minivans are specifically chosen to accommodate bulky luggage without compromising passenger comfort.

How Your Transfer Works
Choose the Right Vehicle for Your Trip
Because the journey is longer than a standard airport run, selecting the right car is important.
- Comfort Sedan (Toyota Camry / Altis): Perfect for couples or solo travelers with standard luggage (up to 2 large suitcases).
- SUV (Toyota Fortuner / Innova): Highly Recommended. The elevated seating position gives you great views of the Phang Nga countryside, and the suspension handles provincial roads smoothly. Ideal for families of 3-4.
- VIP Minivan (Toyota Commuter): The best choice for groups of 5-9 people. If you are a dive group with equipment or a large family, the minivan ensures everyone travels together in luxury.
Transparent Pricing and Safety
Traveling to a different province often leads to "price ambiguity" with street taxis. With us, you get peace of mind.
- Fixed Rates: The price you see online is the final price. No haggling, no "remote area" surcharges.
- All-Inclusive: Fuel, driver fees, and airport parking are included.
- Child Safety: We prioritize your family's safety. Certified child car seats are available upon request (please specify age/weight when booking).
