Phuket Taxis, Tuk Tuks or Buses? What is the best way to get around Phuket? Finding the right transportation can be a worry as Phuket doesn’t have a good public transport system, but it is very easy to go around because Tuk-Tuks are everywhere and can take you anywhere, day or night. It can just get costly! Blue buses can take you from selected beaches to Phuket Town. The Smart Bus takes you from beach to beach. Taxi meters and Grab taxis are also available. Renting a van with a driver for the day is also a great way to explore the island.
