Phuket International Airport
The route alignment
The route starts at Phuket International Airport, with the initial section being an elevated structure along Highway No. 4031. Then descends to ground level at Highway No. 4026, before elevating again to cross the airport junction and underpass. After making a right turn, the route returns to ground level along Highway No. 402 to enter Phuket City. The alignment transitions into an underground tunnel for approximately 3 kilometers at Thalang District area. Then re-emerges at ground level, passing the Heroines’ Monument (Thao Thep Krasattri – Thao Si Sunthon Monument). Before reaching the Bang Ku Junction, the route descends underground again to pass beneath the junction, and then rises back to ground level. It continues past the bus terminal into the Phuket Municipality area via Phuket Road, crossing the Thep Srisin Bridge (over the Ko Phi Canal) to enter Chao Fa East Road (Highway No. 4021), and finally terminates at the Chalong Five-Way Intersection.
