More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of Phuket International's humid arrival hall and the heat meets you like an old companion — warm, immediate, insistent. A white van idles beneath the departures canopy, a driver holding a clear sign with your name. The road to Patong slips past palm groves and low limestone ridges; within 20–35 minutes the urban roar of Bangla Road and a swathe of beach umbrellas come into view.
