プーケットのタクシー料金はいくら?(2026年料金ガイド)

プーケットのタクシー料金、固定料金ゾーン、空港での詐欺、そしてGrabを使うべき場面——2026年にタクシーを拾う前に知っておくべきすべてのこと。

Thailand flag

プーケットのタクシーはメーターの使用を拒否し、観光客に割高な定額料金を提示することで悪名高い。Bangkok とは異なり、ドライバーにメーター使用の義務はなく——出発前に固定ゾーンを把握しておくことが最善の対策です。

プーケットのタクシー料金の仕組み

プーケットは走行メーターではなく固定ゾーン制で運営されています。料金はルートごとに設定されており、ドライバーは定額料金を提示します——以下の一般的な相場を知っておくことで、知識をもとに交渉できます。

プーケット空港(HKT)からのサンプル料金

Phuket International Airport (HKT) has an official metered taxi queue outside the arrivals hall. These are the only metered taxis in Phuket — the meter starts at ฿35 and runs ฿5.50/km. In practice, most passengers use the airport limousine desk (inside arrivals) or negotiate with private taxi drivers. The table below shows typical fixed rates.

HKT → Patong Beach (30 km)฿600–700
HKT → Kata / Karon Beach (35 km)฿700–800
HKT → Kamala Beach (20 km)฿500–600
HKT → Phuket Town (25 km)฿400–500
HKT → Nai Yang / Bang Tao (10 km)฿300–400
HKT → Rawai / Nai Harn (40 km)฿800–900
HKT → Surin Beach (18 km)฿450–550
⚠️

Inside the arrivals hall, "AOT Limousine" counters charge ฿800–1,200 for routes that official airport taxis cover for ฿400–700. Exit the terminal building and use the official metered taxi queue on the ground floor — the sign reads "Public Taxi." The saving is significant, especially for longer routes.

Between-Beach Fares (Typical)

Patong → Karon Beach (5 km)฿200–300
Patong → Kata Beach (8 km)฿250–350
Patong → Phuket Town (12 km)฿300–400
Patong → Surin Beach (13 km)฿350–500
Phuket Town → Rawai (15 km)฿300–400
Kata → Chalong Pier (6 km)฿150–250

Grab vs Private Taxi in Phuket

ビーチ間の移動には、ソンテウ(乗り合いピックアップ)が1人฿30〜50の固定ルートで運行しており——同じ距離のプライベートタクシーより10倍安くなります。

Grab (GrabCar)Upfront pricing. Cashless or cash. Available in Patong, Karon, Kata, Phuket Town. Lower availability at remote beaches.
Official metered taxi (airport)Metered (฿35 flag fall + ฿5.50/km). Only reliably available at HKT airport queue. Cheapest for longer routes.
Private taxi (negotiated)Flat rate by area. Agree before getting in. Starting quote is always 30–50% inflated. Non-refundable once in the car.
Tuk-tukShort hops within a beach area. Typically ฿100–200 for 2 km. Do not use for long journeys — overpriced and uncomfortable.
Songthaew (shared pickup)Fixed route between main beaches. ฿30–50 per person. Very cheap, some waiting involved. Best for solo travellers on a budget.
💡

Songthaew (baht bus) shared pickups run fixed routes between major beach areas — Patong to Kata, Karon to Phuket Town, Phuket Town to Rawai — for ฿30–50 per person. This is 8–12× cheaper than a private taxi for the same route. Songthaews are the blue or yellow pickup trucks with bench seats in the back. Flag one down or find it at the local bus terminus in Phuket Town.

Phuket Taxi Scams

  • Airport quotes of ฿1,200–1,500 for Patong — the official rate is ฿600–700. Reject and walk to the metered taxi queue.
  • Tuk-tuk "free ride" to a tailor/gem shop — you're not paying with cash, you're paying with your time and being pressured to buy overpriced goods.
  • "Meter broken" on the handful of metered cabs — meters work or they don't drive. Use Grab.
  • Late-night doubling — taxis quote double after midnight. Agree the price before getting in regardless of time.
  • Hotel taxi markup — hotels arrange taxis at 2–3× street rate. Ask reception to call a taxi for the driver to negotiate rather than using a hotel-arranged vehicle.
  • Driver changing the agreed price at destination — always confirm the rate, repeat it back, and agree it is final before the journey starts.

Renting a Scooter vs Taking Taxis

For visitors staying a week or more, scooter rental (฿200–350/day for a 110–150cc Honda) is the most cost-effective option for getting around Phuket. Roads between beaches are generally manageable, though traffic in Patong is heavy. An international driving permit is technically required but rarely checked. Note: injuries from scooter accidents are common among tourists — assess your confidence level honestly before renting.

Tipping in Phuket Taxis

Tipping is not expected for negotiated flat-rate taxi rides in Phuket. The agreed price is the final price. For Grab rides, a ฿20–50 tip can be added in the app and is appreciated. For tuk-tuks and songthaews, the posted fare is final — no tip expected.

よくある質問

How much is a taxi from Phuket Airport to Patong Beach?

The official metered taxi queue at HKT airport charges approximately ฿600–700 to Patong Beach (30 km). Inside the terminal, limousine counters charge ฿800–1,200 for the same route. Always use the metered taxi queue outside the terminal.

Do Phuket taxis use meters?

Outside the official airport metered taxi queue, almost no Phuket taxis use meters. The island operates on a fixed-zone negotiated pricing system. Always agree the fare before getting in. Grab provides transparent upfront pricing as an alternative.

Is Grab available in Phuket?

Yes. Grab operates in Phuket, particularly in Patong, Karon, Kata, and Phuket Town. Driver availability is lower than Bangkok — wait times of 15–30 minutes are common in peak season. It is the best option for transparent, non-negotiated pricing.

What is the cheapest way to get around Phuket?

Songthaew (shared pickup trucks / baht bus) for ฿30–50 per person between major beaches. Scooter rental for ฿200–350 per day is cheapest for flexible individual travel. Grab is the best balance of cost and convenience.

Why are Phuket taxis so expensive?

Phuket taxis are controlled by local taxi associations that effectively set minimum prices. The lack of a mandatory meter system means drivers quote tourist rates without competition. Grab has disrupted this somewhat, but the local taxi cartel still dominates beach-to-beach routes.

How much should I pay for a tuk-tuk in Phuket?

Tuk-tuks in Phuket are for short hops within a beach area — typically ฿100–200 for up to 2 km. Do not use them for inter-beach travel; private taxis or songthaews are far better value for distances over 3 km.
