Phuket has two types of taxi - millions (or so it seems) of small songthaew-style
minivans (usually bright red, occasionally bright yellow) called Tuk Tuks,
and a much smaller number of conventional sedan-style taxis (yellow and red,
with a "TAXI-METER" sign on top).
The minivans are universally referred to as
tuk-tuks (even though they have four wheels, not three). They have no meter,
and their drivers are notoriously mercenary, so always agree a price
beforehand and do bargain hard. Short hops around town shouldn't cost more
than 40 baht, but good luck getting from Patong to Phuket Town for under 200
baht.
For longer distances the metered taxis are
generally a better bet, so do your bit to break the iron grip of the
minitaxi mafia and patronize them if you can. You can hail one by telephone
on 076-232157.
There are also motorbike taxis. While you should
never hop on the back of just anyone's motorbike, motorbike taxi drivers
wear bright numbered vests and are usually the cheapest way to go. However,
it is important to note that these are slightly more dangerous than a Tuk
Tuk, for obvious reasons, and are not comfortable for long trips. However,
if you just need to get around town, they are a great way to go.
