Getting There
Although it is possible to get to Pa Klok, Phuket over land or water, the best way is to fly.
AIRPORT AND PIER TRANSFERS
It can take between 20 minutes to 30 minutes to reach Pa Klok 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
Pa Klok is an ideal place to indulge in the quiet strolls along the beach or through the mangrove forest along the wooden catwalk. The area is small, so you don’t need to bother yourself with searching for transport as most of the sites are within a short walk. If you want to travel further afield and explore other areas, then you might need to rent some vehicle or require a private car with a chauffeur.
RENTAL SCOOTER
There are no motorbike rental shops in Pa Klok, so if you prefer moving around on two wheels, it is recommended to rent a motorbike in the more popular tourist locations. Take into account that you must always 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
If you are planning to explore further afield than renting a car is a good alternative to taxi travel, which is usually overpriced. However, you should take into account that there are no car rental shops in Pa Klok, so it is recommended to rent a car at the more touristic locations or in the Phuket International Airport if you are travelling by plane. There are several car rental offices at the arrival terminal, so you will have numerous options to choose from.
TAXI
It can be challenging to find a taxi down the street, as Pa Klok still remains rather secluded area not so popular within crowds. Although, you can always ask your villa manager to arrange a taxi for you. We recommend using metered-taxi as it is a far more affordable way to move around Phuket.
