Going from Phuket to Yala? Airport Transfer Phuket picks you up at your door in Phuket and drives you straight to Yala in a private air-conditioned car. The trip is about 580 km and takes around 7 h 45 min without long stops. One fixed price per car, not per person.
Yala is a mountainous, landlocked border province in Thailand's far south, covered in rainforest. Yala town is known for its neatly planned streets, and the main draws are the cave temple Wat Khuha Phimuk, Bang Lang Dam, Hala-Bala forest and cool Betong with its sea-of-mist skywalk. Cooler months bring the best morning mist.
Our driver picks you up anywhere in Phuket, drives the route below and waits if you book a return. Fixed price per car, tolls and fuel included.
