Phuket Thailand - Meter/private taxis at 6am: is this possible?

Gday

Can anyone tell me what options I have for transport from Patong to the Airport for an international flight departing 8.05am? This means that I would need to get a cab organised for pick-up at about 6am.

Metered taxi? Private taxi? Other options? Would the price 'premium' for pick-up at that hour of the morning be very large?

Perhaps your hotel have a own Taxi service. Best you ask at the front desk.
I´m sure they can arange a taxi to the airport at this time.
I did pay 600 Baht for a taxi to the airport at 5.30 in the morning

Thanks Werwolf - I appreciate the quick reply!

Looks like I might be heading back on a cheap fare in early April

I have a taxi guy who will come get you and never has let any of me or my mates down.. He is a limo driver which I try not to use due to tuk tuk cartels etc but he is 100% professional..

600 baht one way.

PM if you want number.

left Sun Hill hotel at 4.15am still 600 bhat if the hotel have a regular contract and its reliable not worth the hassle of trying to save a few hundred baht at 4.00 am
