Getting There
Although it is possible to get to Naithon, Phuket over land or water, the best way is to fly.
AIRPORT AND PIER TRANSFERS
It can take between 15 minutes to 30 minutes to reach Naithon from Phuket International Airport depending on traffic. Ministry of Villas can arrange a chauffeur to greet you upon arrival and escort you to your villa.
AIRPORT TAXI
Alternatively, there is a taxi desk at the arrival level which arranges one-way fares at a fixed-price. You can opt one of the transfer options – a shared mini van with other travellers or a private taxi.
Getting Around
There are several options, so we’ve ranked them according to our recommendations for first-time travellers:
PRIVATE CAR
Ministry of Villas can arrange a private car and chauffeur for you. Depending on which villa you are staying in, the cost for the private vehicle with a driver can vary, so it’s recommended to contact our Ministry of Villas team to get the complete information about the private transfers.
ON FOOT
Naithon can be easily covered on foot. Offering nice beachfront sidewalks and beautiful hill tracks, Naithon is a pleasant place to walk around.
RENTAL SCOOTER
Renting a scooter in Naithon might be challenging as there are not too many rental shops in the area, although, you can always ask your villa manager to assist you with motorbike rental. Travelling on two wheels can be rewarding, as you can get to any of the remote parts and explore further afield. Take into account that you must have an international drivers license on your person at all times, otherwise, the local police can issue you a ticket with a summons to appear in court. And, of course, make sure you wear a helmet.
RENTAL CAR
There are no car rental shops in Naithon, so if you are planning to explore the island on your own, better to rent a car at the airport at the arrival level or in other popular tourist locations. The light traffic and a plethora of parking benefit the car travel, making it easy and comfortable way to move about Naithon and further.
