Per car or per seat as labelled — not directly comparable across the two; the cheapest car option for one or two travellers in the figure colour · 2026년 9월 기준 · Phuket Travel Price Index, transfers series
For one or two travellers the cheaper car to 까따 is a Grab or Bolt car: $27 (range $13–$39, n = 7) per car, one way, daytime, against $29 for the taxi counter (n = 11). The app quote is upfront and non-surge in the sample; after the late-evening arrival banks or in rain the counter is the fixed fallback.
For three or more, a private minivan at $47 (range $31–$85, n = 9) per vehicle is $16 a head with three, $12 with four and $8 with six, luggage included and the driver waiting at the exit with a name board. For five or six it costs less than two Grab or Bolt cars ($54) and skips the queue.
The cheapest way in is the Phuket Smart Bus at $3 per person (100 THB flat, n = 8) — right for one or two people who land by day and travel light, wrong for a family with suitcases or a late arrival.
까따 is 42 km from Phuket International Airport by road. The site's model puts the transfer at ≈ 1 h 40 min: 1.4 × the road distance at 40 km/h plus 10 minutes to leave the terminal, rounded to five — indicative, not measured. Residents plan for an hour and a quarter in normal traffic, up to two hours in a downpour. The driver takes the coast road through 까론, or the Patak Road from 찰롱 when the driver avoids the hills. The Smart Bus is slower: 까따 is stop 5 of 6 on its route, and the published duration to the southern end is 1.5–2.5 h.
까따 is on the 서해안 of Phuket — Two-bay family beach south of 까론 with a surf school in low season and a walkable strip of restaurants. Its neighbours are 까론 (40 km from the airport) and 나이한 (45 km from the airport) and 찰롱 (38 km from the airport). On the counter board 까따 is priced in one zone with 까론: 500–1,300 THB per car in the 2026 zone lists, 950 THB at the median (n = 11), the 100 THB airport surcharge included.
The Phuket Smart Bus stops here: the Smart Bus stops on the beach road on its airport–라와이 run, roughly hourly through the day, 100 THB per person paid on board. Ride-hailing cars pick up from the designated zone outside the terminal, not at the taxi rank; the taxi counter and the shared-minibus desks are inside the arrivals hall, and a pre-booked minivan driver waits at the exit with a name board.
The neighbouring areas are 까론, 40 km: taxi $29, Grab or Bolt $24; 나이한, 45 km: taxi $29; 찰롱, 38 km: taxi $15–$45 (range only). At the counter 까따 is the same price as 까론 ($29) and the same price as 나이한 ($29), which follows the zone board rather than the exact distance. A hotel just over the district line is priced from its own zone, so check which side of it the address falls on before choosing the counter.
The return is usually cheaper than the arrival: a ride-hailing quote from 까따 to the airport carries no airport surcharge, hotels arrange cars at or near the index rates, and the Smart Bus runs northbound on the same timetable. Allow the same ≈ 1 h 40 min plus check-in; in the December–February peak, when the airport handles its busiest months, three hours before an international departure is not excessive. From the south a driver who knows the island takes the bypass rather than the coast road in the evening rush.
The 4 options priced to 까따 in the 2026년 9월 revision rest on 35 independent source observations: Airport taxi counter n = 11, Grab / Bolt n = 7, Private minivan n = 9, Smart Bus n = 8. Every one of them clears the five-source minimum, so every cell carries a median. Observations are read on the 1st and the 15th of each month from published counter zone lists, screenshot-based app quotes and operators' one-way price lists, quoted in baht and converted once at the reference rate recorded with the observation; low and high are the 25th and 75th percentiles or the published range, never the extremes.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 까론 | 40 | ≈ 1 h 35 min | $29 | $24 | $46 |
| 나이한 | 45 | ≈ 1 h 45 min | $29 | $17–$39 · 범위만 | $52 |

Time: indicative model: 1.4 × road km at 40 km/h plus 10 min to leave the terminal, rounded to 5 min — not a measured trip; evening traffic over the Kathu hill or a wet-season downpour can add half again.
$29 per car at the official airport taxi counter in the 2026년 9월 revision (range $15–$36 across n = 11 sources), one way, daytime, the 100 THB airport surcharge included. The 2026 zone lists quote 500–1,300 THB for the zone.
Yes — Grab and Bolt pick up from the ride-hailing zone outside the terminal and quote an upfront fare per car. Non-surge quotes to 까따 were $27 (range $13–$39, n = 7) in the 2026년 9월 revision. Quotes rise after the evening arrival banks and in rain; the counter fare is the fixed fallback.
$47 per vehicle for up to six with luggage (range $31–$85, n = 9), $12 a head with four. For five or six it beats two Grab or Bolt cars at $54. The point of paying more is the driver at the exit with a name board — no queue, no negotiation.
≈ 1 h 40 min on the site's stated model (1.4 × 42 road km at 40 km/h plus 10 minutes), a planning figure for daytime traffic; residents plan for an hour and a quarter in normal traffic, up to two hours in a downpour. The Smart Bus takes longer — 1.5–2.5 h to the southern end of its route.
