1. The new Phuket Airport is looking close to completion. Signs outside the new airport (which is adjacent to the existing airport) point to a 1st June 2016 opening. This is in line with News headlines found here.
2. Not sure how I missed this the first time I was in Phuket, but shuttle buses are available for those who don't want to fork out for a Taxi. It cost me 200 baht per person (one way) to travel from Phuket Airport to Karon beach/Patong beach. The only catch is that the shuttle doesn't leave until it's full (9 passengers). A reasonable bet if you've landed during a peak ish time/season.
A significant discount to the taxi fare table below.
