Can a taxi take 5 passengers - 3 adults and 2 teens? Or are there tuk tuks available at the airport?

It would be very hard to get 5 people in most of the taxis. You don't say which hotel you are staying at, but if it is Patong or further away I think you would be better with a mini van rather than spending 30-45 minutes in the back of a tuk-tuk. If you look on my Phuket pages there is a tip which has the contact details of Mai who can arrange a minivan for you.

Regards

John

I agree even with a mini van depending on luggage 5 suitcases 5 carry on bags two taxis might be a better option. i had the same problem 4 adults 2 children under 10. plus luggage in a toyota hilux took a lot of fitting in.

Minibus to Patong, about 700Bt. It can be arranged beforehand, the driver will have a card with your name on it, as you leave the terminal building.

I second John's recommendation of Mai. He has 2 vehicles, one which seats up to 7 people and one that seats up to 11.

His email is; hknuch@hotmail.com
