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 · 截至 2026年9月 · Phuket Travel Price Index, transfers series
For one or two travellers the cheaper car to 卡马拉 is the taxi counter: $23 (range $14–$27, n = 5) per car, one way, daytime. The counter fare is fixed by zone and includes the airport surcharge; pay at the counter and keep the slip.
For three or more, a private minivan at $42 (range $21–$70, n = 10) per vehicle is $14 a head with three, $11 with four and $7 with six, luggage included and the driver waiting at the exit with a name board. For five or six it costs less than two taxi-counter cars ($46) and skips the queue.
No per-seat option is priced to 卡马拉: the Smart Bus stops on the main road, which makes 卡马拉 one of the easiest west-coast beaches to reach without a car.
卡马拉 is 26 km from Phuket International Airport by road. The site's model puts the transfer at ≈ 1 h 05 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 roughly 45 minutes. The driver takes the coast road past 苏林, before the headland to 芭东. The Smart Bus is slower: 卡马拉 is stop 2 of 6 on its route, and the published duration to the southern end is 1.5–2.5 h.
卡马拉 is on the 西海岸 of Phuket — Low-rise beach village north of 芭东: family resorts, the beach-club strip and the Millionaires' Mile villas. Its neighbours are 芭东 (32 km from the airport) and 苏林 (22 km from the airport). On the counter board 卡马拉 is priced as its own zone: 450–900 THB per car in the 2026 zone lists, 750 THB at the median (n = 5), the 100 THB airport surcharge included.
The Phuket Smart Bus stops here: the Smart Bus stops on the main road, which makes 卡马拉 one of the easiest west-coast beaches to reach without a car, 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 芭东, 32 km: taxi $24, Grab or Bolt $23; 苏林, 22 km: taxi $18, Grab or Bolt $17. At the counter 卡马拉 is cheaper than 芭东 ($24) and dearer than 苏林 ($18), 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 卡马拉 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 05 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 3 options priced to 卡马拉 in the 2026年9月 revision rest on 19 independent source observations: Airport taxi counter n = 5, Grab / Bolt n = 4, Private minivan n = 10. 2 of them carry a published median; the rest show the observed range only — either fewer than five independent sources priced 卡马拉 itself, or the range is a neighbouring zone's, which the index reproduces but never turns into a figure. 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.

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.
$23 per car at the official airport taxi counter in the 2026年9月 revision (range $14–$27 across n = 5 sources), one way, daytime, the 100 THB airport surcharge included. The 2026 zone lists quote 450–900 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. Published quotes to 卡马拉 were $15–$27 (n = 4, fewer than the five the index requires, so the median is withheld). Quotes rise after the evening arrival banks and in rain; the counter fare is the fixed fallback.
$42 per vehicle for up to six with luggage (range $21–$70, n = 10), $11 a head with four. For five or six it beats two taxi-counter cars at $46. The point of paying more is the driver at the exit with a name board — no queue, no negotiation.
≈ 1 h 05 min on the site's stated model (1.4 × 26 road km at 40 km/h plus 10 minutes), a planning figure for daytime traffic; residents plan for roughly 45 minutes. The Smart Bus takes longer — 1.5–2.5 h to the southern end of its route.
