Phuket Airport - online display of departure and arrival and how to get to the hotel
Palm among transport messages withPhuket, by right, belongs to the airlines - both domestic and international communications. In today's article I would like to tell you a little about the main air port of this one of the largest islands of Thailand - Phuket International Airport.

4 Where is Phuket Airport
Phuket Airport
The airport consists of local and internationalterminals located in two different buildings. Domestic terminal has two floors and until 2016 it regularly accepted both domestic and international flights. Since 2016, a separate, international terminal has already been opened on four floors, after which tourists and employees of Phuket airport sighed more freely.
How to fly to Phuket
According to statistics, Phuket Airport is the secondThailand airport in terms of total passenger traffic. Here direct flights from such countries as Malaysia, Singapore, China, Japan, Australia, Russia, France, Switzerland and many others land. Also here come the charters. You can always search for tickets to the dates you need on Aviasales and Skyscanner, who likes what more, but, as a rule, they show almost the same prices. Remember that most often tickets to Bangkok are cheaper, so consider the flight to Bangkok too.
Online display of departure and arrival in Phuket
Below is an online scoreboard with arrivals anddeparting flights. Information on the board is displayed in real time and you can always see which flight is expected, which one is delayed and so on.
Domestic Terminal
The old, domestic terminal consists of two floors and serves domestic flights. The second is the passenger departure area, the first floor is the arrival area.
First floor of the internal terminal - arrival zone
Second floor of the internal terminal - departure area
Passengers arrive on the first floorDomestic terminal. After receiving the luggage you almost immediately go out into the street. Just before the exit, there will be a very small hall, where SIM sales racks, offices of international distributors (they are also in the international terminal), ATMs and luggage storage are located.
Out on the street, you will immediately see racks withminibuses and taxis, as well as private taxi drivers who offer their services. Here is the bus stop. Details on how to get to your hotel in the second part of the post.
Registration for departure of passengers is more frequent.just on the second floor of the terminal (the same offices of airlines on the third floor), but some flights are registered in a separate side building on the first floor. Before entering the terminal, you will have to go through the scanner and the metal detector frame, either on the first floor or on the second. Immediately on the second you can bring a taxi, but on the first floor you will need to go in the wrong door, from where passengers arrive, and in a side building. The terminal is a small, normal waiting room for arriving passengers here. A little confusedly explained, but it will not be difficult to understand there.
On the second floor you will find cafes, coffee shops,shops with various souvenirs. After passing through passport control, there will be no duty-free, but there will be a number of shops with a so-called assortment and a couple of snack stalls.
Luggage storage and mail at the domestic terminal, 80 baht / day
View from the parking lot to the extension terminal
By the way, if such an opportunity happens,your luggage upon arrival suddenly will not be, you must immediately contact the appropriate counter and fill in the necessary documents. In the application, you specify your personal data and the planned residence on the island, as well as describe the luggage. After that, you will be given a copy of this application, from which you will go to the hotel, where you will wait for the decision on the fate of your belongings.
International Terminal (International Terminal)
Phuket International Airport Terminal is builtand launched in 2016. It is located next to Domestic terminal, so there is no transport connection between them, you can walk for 5-10 minutes. At the time of my visit in 2017, all the works were not fully finished there, so I had to bypass the construction zone through the parking lot. How to finish, the path will be even shorter. It will also be possible to transfer any racks between the terminals and visually everything may differ from my photos.
The international terminal consists of four floors:
Floors of the Phuket International Terminal
Ground floor - arrival zone
Second floor - passport control and airline offices
Third Floor - Departure Area
Fourth floor - shops and restaurants
To enter the international terminal buildingneed to go through the frame on the first floor. Then you can follow to the desired floor. On the ground floor there are racks with the sale of SIM cards, racks of international car dealers, currency exchange offices and ATMs. On the second floor there is a 7-eleven minimarket, which can be accessed from the first floor from the street by escalator.
On the street near the exit from the terminal you will seeracks with minibuses and taxis, prices are exactly the same as at the terminal of local airlines, no matter where you go. Details on how to get to your hotel in the second part of the post.

Currency exchange and ATMs
With regards to local currency, then exchange youryou can get blood money for baht, both on the beach and right after leaving the airport at any of the terminals. True, it is better that this blood would be dollars or euros (what money is better to take with you). The Russian ruble is not exchanged everywhere and not always, and more often at an unfavorable exchange rate. In addition, do not rush to part with the whole amount at once (especially if it is not in rubles), if necessary, this can be done at any time, since the difference in exchange in one place or another is not significant.
Also here you can withdraw money in any ofATMs. It is absolutely no matter where to do, here at the airport or later on your beach. The bank also does not really matter, well, only if you do not have a Thai bank card. How to withdraw money, I already wrote in this article.
ATMs and currency exchange, domestic / international
Simcard at the airport
It is best to take the simka local Thaioperator immediately at the airport, so as not to look for it later in the offices of operators and mini-markets. So you will immediately leave the airport with 4G Internet, which is much cheaper than the Russian operator in roaming.
Especially there is no difference what operator to take, they are all about the same, both in coverage and in tariffs. There are only 3 of them: DTAC. AIS and True move. I usually use DTAC for many years now. They somehow somehow understand the tariffs.
Simka DTAC is 2 times cheaper>
Buy in advance via the Internet a local Thai SIM card on the Klook website and get 4G internet for 8 days in just 131 baht instead of 299 baht.
VAT refund or VAT refund
At Phuket airport, you can return before departure.tax on purchases (Vat = 7%) made in Thailand. The amount of purchases must be more than 5,000 baht. Previously, when making a purchase in a store, you need to issue a paper for a tax refund, coming up with your receipt, which will be stamped Vat Refund. True, this is not in all stores, and the amount of purchases for paper registration should be at least 2,000 baht once.
Also, purchases must be made no more than 60 days before departure from Thailand. I wrote about this in more detail in this article. VAT refund in Thailand - we save on purchases.
How to get from Phuket airport to the hotel
The most important question that worries mostpassengers arriving on holiday in Phuket - from Phuket airport to get to your destination, for example, to your hotel in Phuket. There are several options for different wallets:
City bus and minibus
Internet transfer
The most budget option of transporting tourists- This is a city bus, as the fare in it is 100 baht per person. But there is one major drawback in city buses - the bus does not run at night, and in general there are not so many flights. You also need to understand that the bus will take you to the city, in Phuket Town at the Old Bus Terminal, and not to your hotel. That is, in Phuket Town, you will need to change to a minibus and ride it.
There is also a bus from the airport to Patong Kata Beach. Cost 120 baht.
A more convenient way to get to the hotel isminibus / minibus (in our minibus). Minibass always stand near the exit from the arrivals hall, and the pleasure it will cost about 150-200 baht depending on the distance of your beach. A bit more expensive than by bus, but more comfortable and faster. According to the latest data, minibars go from 7 in the morning until about 10 in the evening.

Anyone who wants a minimum of gestures canin advance via the Internet, while still at home, order a transfer to Kiwitaxi. You will be met in the arrival hall with a sign, take your luggage, put you in the car and take you to the right place. The method is good because there are no problems at all, nothing to think about, which is important for those traveling for the first time and will be tired after the flight. At prices about as much as on the street.
Transfer to hotel in Phuket>
I already went to the transfer from this company and was completely pleased with it. As promised, met and without delay was taken to the hotel. Here is my review of kiwitaxi. You can ask in the form below. I took to Patong, but you can choose other beaches: Kamala, Karon, Kata, Nai Harn, and so on. By the way, hotels also sometimes offer transfers, but as a rule, they are more expensive.
Taxi on the spot
If you have not ordered a transfer, then at your serviceThe most common transport in these cases is a taxi. It can be taken on the spot. But keep in mind that taxis here are of two types, depending on the method of payment:
- Fixed charge (limousine service)
- Payment by meter (taxi-meter)
The price difference between them is small, order200-300 baht, considering that here you are not Bangkok and even driving over the counter goes significantly more expensive than the capital. And the trouble is that the fleet of taxis is short and the waiting time can be delayed. I flew to Phuket many times, only once left the counter. Plus, when driving on the counter, you will have to pay an airport tax of 150 baht.
For example, the road to Patong by taxi-meter will becost you about 600 baht: 400-500 baht over the counter and 150 baht airport tax. The fixed price is somewhere from 800 baht. But again, after midnight, the check-in counter at the taxi-meter closes and, accordingly, does not work. In general, it is almost impossible to leave the meter recently, it is better to rely on a fixed fee, and negotiate it on the spot. The only problem a taxi driver can call the price from the ceiling, seeing your confusion.
Cost of fixed rate:
Nai Harn - 1100 baht
Kata, Kata Noi, Karon, Rawai, Cape Panwa - 1000 baht
Patong, Chalong - 800 baht
Phuket Town, Katu - 700 Baht
Kamala - 750 baht
Laguna, Bang Tao, Surin - 700 baht
Knighton - 650 baht
Nai Yang
The further the beach, the more expensive (My review of all Phuket beaches). The price of a regular taxi, which fit 1-3 people. If the machine is large, where you can and 5-8 people sit down, then multiply the price by two.
Also there is another option to take a taxi,put the application Grabtaxi, register in it and upon arrival call a taxi through it (as a taximeter, and with a fixed payment). In the application you need to specify where you are going and where. The only caveat is that the application does not know all the addresses, but it's impossible to choose an arbitrary point (just somewhere), so sometimes you have to choose a point somewhere nearby. It is also advisable to indicate your Thai phone number during registration, because taxi drivers almost always call after receiving an order to find out where to go. By the way, it is easier for them to respond, something like "follow GPS" or just "GPS", because there is often no other way to explain the language barrier. If it is not possible to call a taximeter, then try to call a fix, it happens that the taximeter is either far or all busy (there are few of them). The application is not quite convenient in my opinion, but you can use it.
Taxi fare in Phuket
Not a bad way to get tourists to the hotel, onMy opinion is car rental. But this is if you are an active person and then you will go somewhere, and not just lie on the beach. Read my detailed post - how to rent a car in thailand.
Best to book through verifiedEconomybookings broker, through it almost 2 times cheaper will be, apparently due to sales. Checked personally and more than once! I always book this way myself. Plus, they have immediately collected offers from all international distributors on one site, no need to go through sites one by one.
Phuket Car Hire with Discount>
Arrive and immediately at the airport you will be waitinga machine. Recently, I always take a car, not a bike, with a wheelbarrow much more comfort and freedom, you can go anywhere and not depend on a taxi: to a hotel, to a nearby city, but to anywhere. Offices are available, and in the local terminal of the airport, and internationally, no matter where to go, the parking is shared, as the terminals are very close.
Car rental racks, domestic / international
Where is Phuket Airport
It is located in the north of the island on the west.just 32 km from the center of the city of the same name - Phuket Town. Moreover, this northern part of the island is not the most popular among tourists. But there are beaches, the nearest beach, where you can rent a hotel and swim Nai yang. And here there is a piece of beach right outside the airport, where do planes fly overhead.
If you want to find out about short term housing options in Phuket, I have personally composed hotel review. In general, the choice of housing in Phuket presented on any budget, it remains only to open RoomGuru and choose what you like.
The second passenger airport in the country. Here come direct regular and scheduled flights. There are two terminals for servicing flights: domestic and international.

The other day I shared the story of Douglas Prasher's with the medical students in my class. Dr. Prasher's contribution to the study of Green Fluorescent Protein had ultimately led to the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2008; however he was not one of the laureates because of life circumstances. During my preparation, I read some of the stories again and came across this recent article "How Bad Luck & Bad Networking Cost Douglas Prasher a Nobel Prize" published in the Discover Magazine. The article provides an in-depth coverage of the struggles that Dr. Prasher has gone through over the years. I have been deeply impressed with his determination and noble attitudes over the years despite the difficult situations. I also really like the amazing portraits that Miller Mobley took for this article in the Discover Magazine. The lighting and composition of his work is outstanding that each picture is like an intense and charming moment that is frozen in time, including the ones for Dr. Prasher.

We briefly mentioned the idea of silent mutation in the lab meeting the other day when we discussed how DNA mutations can cause diseases. In general, a polymorphism in the wobble (3rd) position of the DNA codon often would not change the amino acid sequence. However, that doesn't mean everything would be the same or the polymorphism would have no effect on the resulting system. It has long been known that there is codon bias, the preference of using particular codons, among different organisms. This may have implications on the fitness of the animals and evolution.
Josh Plotkin's group at the University of Pennsylvania has recently done a very interesting study on this topic in Science magazine. They synthesized a synthetic library of 154 green fluorescent protein (GFP) with an average of 114 silent mutations between each pair. They found the expressing of these GFPs in E. Coli, as measured by fluorescence of the GFP, can vary as much as 250 fold! Further analyses revealed that this expression difference did not correlate with the codon bias but more to the secondary structures of the RNA.
As it turned out, RNA with more stable secondary structure was harder to be translated into protein and hence a lower expression level. Also, the stability near 5′ start codon explained most of the expression variation, which indicates the rate limiting step of gene expression was primarily translation initiation. They further predicted and experimentally validated GFP variants with rare codon usage, which presumably were more difficult to produce, would be highly expressed if attached with a 5′ sequence with weaker RNA secondary structure. Therefore silent mutations are not that silent after all, it depends on whether you have the right ear to hear.

This theme seeks to improve understanding of how the public research and higher education base, in particular research universities and intermediate R&D institutes, support technological emergence, industrial transformation, and national economic growth.
This theme aims to advance understanding of the different contributions of the public research and higher education base to addressing the innovation challenges of emerging technologies and industries (and associated societal challenges). Particular attention is paid to the processes by which these contributions are made and the dynamic nature of these activities – how the functions of these actors vary at different stages of technological and industrial maturity; and how they vary in response to the evolving nature of the technologies, applications, and industries themselves.
This theme also explores the practical policy implications of these dynamics for the strategies and initiatives of both public research and higher education actors and funders. Of particular interest are the ways in which the programmes of research and higher education funding agencies can effectively support these actors to address emerging technology and industry innovation challenges; and the ways in which public research and higher education organisations (re)configure their structures, strategies and practices in response to the changing innovation needs of industry and society.
Generating a more robust evidence base to address key issues facing policymakers and practitioners around how to strengthen the linkages and impact of the public research base on industrial innovation.
Exploring and better characterising the role and value of long-term strategic university-industry partnerships as they evolve through key stages of emergence, maturation and renewal. It will also explore the capabilities and infrastructure necessary to manage and support them.


It is important to know why you read slowly. You were taught to read by a slow reader and, over the years, you have collected many bad reading habits.
How many of these reading irritations do you recognize?
Regression - Re-reading the same information many time over.
Sub-vocalization - Saying the words silently to yourself while you read.
Low concentration - Your mind wanders often while you read.
Word by word - Focusing your eyes on one word at a time, moving one space and focussing on next word.
Skimming - Skipping words because you feel you are running out of reading time.
Word reversal - Reading the words in the wrong order.
Poor memory - Quickly forgetting the information that you have read.

Camp Dread
It's fair to say that horror movies are the easiest genre to make, or at least the most frequently made due to the ability to hide behind the gore and mess without having to think too hard about script and plot. In fact, most low budget horror offerings seem to use the following formula: A [noun] [verbs] a [collective noun] of [nouns] in a small town/house/village/church but all is not what it seems to [proper noun]. Using that format and a random word generator, anyone could think up a horror film concept. For example: A bugle (probably haunted) equips a bask of sounds on a small island near the Bay of Biscay but all is not what it seems to Amir Ned, famed Bugle Player of coastal France.
So just turn the 'all is not what it seems' into a clandestine murderer and you have a slasher film, even more so if the Bay of Biscay has an American style summer camp.
So, making it's way to DVD and Blu-Ray now is Camp Dread, a slightly more original take on the Friday the 13th-esque 'death pile near a lake/cabin in the woods' style slasher films. Starring Eric Roberts and other people you won't know, Camp Dread, is a stab at coming at these films from a different angle, but not as original or full of possibilities as my haunted bugle one. It reminds me of Battle Royale, Big Brother and Friday the 13th all squeezed through the gaping eye socket of a teenager, so that's at least an interesting collection of things.
Julian Barratt (no relation to the Mighty Boosh actor, though that'd be an interesting sub plot) is an ageing director, famous for his success in the 1980s with a slasher film trilogy called 'Summer Camp', which were very popular but dropped off the grid after only two sequels. He gets a gaggle of gits and children with terrible issues all put into this camp to make a 'reality TV' sequel or reboot to Summer Camp with the promise of one million tasty dollars as a prize for the last one to die. This is the first indication that this is all very tongue in cheek and self-satirising which gives the film a pleasant vibe. The characters in the film are absolutely terrible though, not even stereotypes but caricatures of stereotypes of awful people. There was the slutty crazy character, the homicidal possible double bluff guy, a couple of crazy people, the snoop around and get themselves killed people, but actually it was hard to pin a type to them and it made it a wee bit hard to follow the plot. They also had 'the nice guy' to balance it out but most of the cast are total dicks and, because it was not developed well enough for me to get a handle on their personalities, I ended up not trusting or giving too fucks about the 'nice guy' any more than anyone else. Not that that matters, because flying through the film like an avian flu is a mysterious killer, taking out 'contestants' within minutes of each other. The killer is efficient and relentless and because I hated everyone in the film, it was nice to sit back and watch them all get brutally murdered, making it the perfect film for anyone who has had a tough day at work.
I couldn't stop watching it and as horror films go, particularly old-school slasher films, I'd rather watch this one than any of the other bollocks that I've put myself through recently. It's not as good as any of the films it's paying homage to, but it also feels like something that should be in everyone's collection if they are fond of watching eyeballs exploding onto peoples faces and decapitations.
Camp Dread is a good slasher film, which is not the same as saying a good film but if you love your horror, I'd definitely give this one a go, 3/5.

Mythos is a book written by British author Stephen Fry, published in 2017. It is a retelling of a number of ancient Greek myths selected by Fry. It was followed by Fry's 2018 book Heroes, a retelling of myths about Greek heroes, as well as a play titled Mythos: A Trilogy, which premiered at the Shaw Festival in Ontario, Canada, in 2018 and was set to tour the UK starting in August 2019. In 2020, the third book in the series was published, Troy, concerning the Trojan War.

Synopsis

Fry states at the beginning of the book that no background knowledge is necessary to appreciate the stories and that "there is absolutely nothing academic or intellectual about Greek mythology; it is addictive, entertaining, approachable and astonishingly human". The stories are mostly retellings of myths derived from Hesiod's Theogony, Ovid's Metamorphoses and Apuleius's The Golden Ass/Donkey.

Reception
British scholar Edith Hall criticised Fry's limited selection of myths in her review for The Guardian and said that the book's lack of a contents page or index means that the reader is not warned of its uncomprehensive nature. She goes on however to commend Fry for putting his fame to constructive use and to say that his "distinctive voice undoubtedly adds something lively, humorous and intimate to myth's psychological dimension. People who enjoy his media personality and particular style of post‑Wodehouse English drollery are in for a treat". Mythos received a rating of 4/5 in a review titled "What kind of a book is Stephen Fry's Mythos? Who knows — but it's clever and fun" in the culture section of The Telegraph. The Scotsman praised the book's accessibility as well as Fry's knowledge and enthusiasm about the subject but criticised the inconsistency of the book's style, saying that it shifts between being erudite and "deliberately downmarket".

Stage tour
The premiere of Mythos: A Trilogy occurred at the Shaw Festival in Ontario, Canada and received positive reviews. The UK tour was set to premiere on 19 August 2019 at the Edinburgh International Festival and was also scheduled to be performed in Salford, Liverpool, Birmingham, London, Oxford and Gateshead. The play consists of three shows performed on separate nights. The shows were written and performed by Stephen Fry and directed by Tim Carroll. They are reported to be loosely scripted and involve input from the audience to help choose which stories Fry will tell on any given night.
