Answer

Navigating public transport in Phuket can be quite straightforward, especially with kids. The local songthaews (shared taxis) are a budget-friendly option and often have routes that cover major tourist spots. Just keep an eye on the bus stops and get familiar with the routes.

• However, if you have young children or a lot of gear, you might find it easier to use taxis or ride-hailing apps like Grab. They're convenient and you won't have to worry about how to fit everyone into a crowded vehicle. Just remember to check if the car has a child seat if that's a concern.

Allow extra time for traffic and weather. Confirm the specific service on the day, agree prices or use an app where practical, and keep screenshots of bookings and pickup details.
