Airport Transfers - Phuket to Katathani Hotel
 
Can someone recommend an airport transfer company for a transfer from Phuket Airport to Katathani. Through the hotel it's about $85 round trip for a van. We have 5 adults and 1 child.

Is this too pricey?

Thanks!

way too much...take a taxi..

come out the front door of the airport...turn right...walk along a very short distance and cross a small driveway... there is a window there to order taxis...way less money....maybe $20???

You will need two taxis for that many people.

That is too much. For that many people with baggage get a van, you can get one at the airport, even if you pre-book a 9 seater van from a top level transfer service it would be no way for than 1,000 each way( $28-29 ) tops. You might get for a bit less but Oriental Escapes would charge about 1,000.

You only need 1 way because once there you can source a driver and van, though you might say $7-8, but if you book the one way and were happy with service you can always call them to book the return.
