Safety question
I will be arriving within 2 weeks to Phuket airport and it will be really early in the morning. I would like to know how safe is it to get a cab into town at that hour? The reason I ask is that I had a friend in the Philippines who took a cab really late at night and ended up getting robbed. I am pretty streetwise and tough but if there were three or more guys then I could be in trouble. I only speak survival Thai and I wouldn't know if a cabbie was calling his friends to set up a mugging or something so I am in need of some advice from some resident locals as to how to safely get from the Airport into Phuket town.

The airport limos are all controlled and part of an official syndicate..
Thailand is VERY safe and your worrying about nothing..

Welcome on board.
No need to worry about that. But if you worry about getting ripped of ask your hotel you are booked in.Most offer to pick you up at the airport

Thanks everyone for the advice. My hotel does have a shuttle and I will probably be using it. I feel alot better now. It's just that I have never been to Thailand but I have traveled around SE Asia before and I know that many areas are not so safe. I'll be there for 2 weeks. Hope to see some of ya'll out and about.
