1. The Phuket Taxi Rate Explained Simply

Officially Set

The Phuket taxi rate was officially set on 1 janvier 2024. Taxi tariffs in Thailand are officially set by cities or districts. The taxi tariff Phuket was last set in janvier 2024 and published in the official tariff ordinance. It is binding for all taxis and taxi companies within the compulsory driving area and may not be exceeded or undercut. This is ensured by officially calibrated taximeters installed in the taxis.

How the fare is made up under the Phuket taxi rate:

The Phuket taxi tariff provides a clear structure for calculating taxi fares. When you start a taxi ride, the base fare is ฿50.00. This starting price covers the first 2.00 kilometers of your journey.

After the initial 2.00 kilometers, there is an additional charge for each kilometer traveled. For the next 13 kilometers, the cost is ฿12.00 per kilometer. If your trip continues beyond those 13 kilometers, every additional kilometer after that will be charged at ฿10.00 per kilometer.

In addition to the distance charges, the Phuket taxi tariff includes a fee for waiting time. If the taxi is stationary or moving very slowly, the driver will charge ฿60.00 for each hour of waiting time. This covers any delays during your trip, such as traffic jams or requests to stop along the route.

The total fare at the end of your trip will be made up of the base fare, the cost for the distance traveled beyond 2.00 kilometers, and any waiting time charges that might apply. This clear tariff makes it easy for passengers to understand how their fare is calculated under the Phuket taxi tariff.
