        "question": "How do I get to Phuket Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From downtown Phuket, the most popular and affordable option is the airport bus, which departs hourly from the old bus station to Phuket International Airport between 9:15 AM and 9:15 PM. For a faster and more direct journey, you can book a private airport shuttle or use a ride‑share service like Grab, though these cost significantly more. Metered taxis are also readily available and provide a comfortable door‑to‑door ride. If you prefer to drive, car rental return counters are on the airport’s first floor, and parking is available on‑site.",
