# Is PhuketGO Legit? Who Is Behind the Phuket Tours on phukeo.com **Short answer:** Yes, we're real: PhuketGO is a small team that lives on Phuket, phukeo.com is our own site, and nothing gets paid until our manager has confirmed your trip in writing on WhatsApp. Two services, the border run and the airport fast track, are run by our partner Green Lane Travel, and the cooking class by Sky Thai Cooking (Sky Corp Co., Ltd.). The payment method is confirmed in the chat before the booking. ## Tours and prices in Thai baht - [Phuket to Satun border run by minibus](https://phukeo.com/en/tours/border-run-satun) · [md](https://phukeo.com/en/tours/border-run-satun.md) — Overnight: leave 23:30–00:00, back about 15:00 · Adult 3,800 THB · Child 4–9 0 THB - [Phuket airport fast track: VIP arrival and departure](https://phukeo.com/en/tours/airport-fast-track) · [md](https://phukeo.com/en/tours/airport-fast-track.md) — Adult 4,500 THB · Child 4–9 0 THB - [Thai cooking class on Phuket: Thalang and Phuket Town](https://phukeo.com/en/tours/thai-cooking-class) · [md](https://phukeo.com/en/tours/thai-cooking-class.md) — Adult 2,000 THB · Child 4–9 0 THB Prices come straight from our booking system. Children under four join free on most trips — each tour page says so. ## Who runs the services we sell for partners Not everything here is ours, and we'd rather say so. Three services belong to partner companies, and the page of each one names who runs it, right under the price. The [Phuket to Satun border run](https://phukeo.com/en/tours/border-run-satun) is 3,800 ฿ a head, stamp fee included. [VIP Arrive at Phuket airport](https://phukeo.com/en/tours/airport-fast-track) is 4,500 ฿ a head. Both are Green Lane Travel, a travel company based in Patong. Cooking is Sky Thai Cooking's job, a school run by Sky Corp Co., Ltd. In Thalang or Phuket Town a group class is 2,000 ฿, a private one 4,000 ฿; at their Phuket Sea Farm venue the group price goes up to 3,000 ฿. You still book with us. Your chat stays with our manager, and if the school moves a class, that's who tells you. The rest of the catalogue, Phi Phi by speedboat, the Similans, elephants, rafting, is our own range. On every one of those days the manager checks seats for your date first, then confirms. ## What you get in writing before paying It all sits in one WhatsApp thread. Tell us the trip, the date, how many adults, the kids' ages and roughly where you're staying (Kata, Patong, Bang Tao is enough). A person answers, not a bot. Either the date works and you get a yes in writing, or it doesn't and you get another day or another trip. How you pay is settled in the chat before the booking, with the total in baht. Until then you owe nothing. On the evening before, the pickup time and a contact for the day turn up in that same thread, so screenshot it if you like: that's your booking. Pickup windows, piers and the morning itself are on [who we are and how booking works](https://phukeo.com/en/faq/how-booking-works). ## How to be sure you are writing to us Our English number is +66 61 949 0349. Every WhatsApp button on phukeo.com opens that chat, so if a stranger messages you first "from PhuketGO" with another number, check with us on this one before you send a single baht. We don't have an office, and you won't need one. The van collects you from your hotel and brings you back. The chat is open every day, 09:00 to 21:00 Phuket time. Guests who speak Russian write to the same people on Telegram and Max, and what they posted after their trips is kept as it was written, with dates, in our [Telegram channel](https://t.me/phuketGoo). It's in Russian, so a translator helps. ## If the sea closes or your plans change Bad weather is the usual worry. If the authorities close the sea on your date, the trip moves to another day or your money comes back, and we tell you in the chat, normally the evening before. The border run can be moved too, as long as you say so two days ahead. Cancelling yourself is different. Less than 24 hours before a sea trip, the payment isn't refunded, since your seat, transfer and park fees were already bought. Full rules: [what happens when a tour is cancelled for bad weather](https://phukeo.com/en/faq/tour-cancelled-bad-weather). ## Worth knowing Before paying, check two things in the chat: the manager has confirmed your date in writing, and the number you are talking to is +66 61 949 0349, the one on every page of phukeo.com. ## FAQ ### Is phukeo.com legit? phukeo.com is the site of PhuketGO, a small team on Phuket.
