      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Phuket Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From downtown Phuket, the most popular and economical way to reach the airport is the hourly airport bus, which runs from 9:15 to 21:15 and stops at major points like Central and the Old Bus Station. For a faster, more direct trip, you can book a private airport shuttle or take a taxi or ride‑share, which are widely available and significantly quicker but cost more. The Phuket Smart Bus also connects the airport to Patong and other beaches, though it's slower and geared toward coastal stops. Driving and parking at the airport is an option, with rental car returns on‑site, but the 32‑kilometer journey north from the city can take over an hour in traffic.",
