Tiger Airways flies from a separate terminal than Silk Air, remember to tell the driver this as low cost carriers go from the Budget terminal, Silk Air will fly from the main terminal.

The flight itself takes around 1hour 20 mins and you should allow a bit extra time exiting Phuket airport as it's an international flight (as opposed to flying from BKK).

Taxi or limo from Phuket airport to will take around 30-40 minutes, again depending on the time of day and will cost around 400-450 baht for a taxi and 600-700 baht for a limo.

Therefore taking an average...
30mins taxi Orchard Road to Changi airport
arriving 1hour before flight departs
1hr 20mins in the air
45mins to exit Phuket airpoirt and organise a ride
45mins to get to Patong
...gives a total time of about 4 and a half hours.

THAT SEEMS ABOUT IT DIZ.IVE DONE IT A FEW TIMES AND ITS USUALLY BETWEEN 4 AND 5 HRS........IJ
