When i went first time overseas to India i got to know what real smart touts are.
Fact in Phuket is, you can get with no problems without them to patong.
Best oppurtunity you should use is your hotel, some hotels have a free pickup service. This is free
Second oppurtunity is to walk out of the airport and take the taxi meter. I never used them but i saw them last time i took the taxi from airport.
Third opportunity is to deal with them. they once came to speak to me and ask me if i have booking. i did so and said yes as well as i did mention where i stay. They offered me a price and i said no way. then the guy asked me if i want to take minibus for about 150 baht. I agreed and just had to wait until the bus was full which was not a long time. only thing with the minibus is they will stop at the travel agency which was no hassle for me. i got out smoked a cigarette and started flirting with the girl from the travelagency. after some minutes the minbus continued its journey to patong. and they set me off in front of my hotel.
