Having to endure a flight delay is always annoying. Having to endure a flight delay of a few hours in Phuket can be worse. It’s too short a time to head out to the beach or into town for one last taste of Thailand before you board your plane and begin the long journey home.

What you need is a comfortable, modern café located outside the airport but near enough to get back quickly. The place must have a great menu of food and drinks, Wi-Fi, and a great atmosphere to help you forget about your flight delay and just relax and enjoy the last bit of your stay. If you’re a business traveller, finding a pleasant café near the airport gives you a much better option for having a meeting with colleagues or clients without all the distractions.

We’ll tell you about some of the best cafés and restaurants to hang out in near Phuket Airport. These are just a short walk or taxi ride from the airport to ensure you won’t miss your flight.

Tamm and Toast Coffee Phuket

Relax and enjoy fresh coffee and pastries.

This cosy and well-designed café is bright and cheerful, with friendly and attentive staff serving an excellent menu of coffee drinks. They even have a selection of non-dairy milk to choose from. They specialise in breakfasts, with toasts, croissants, and fresh-baked pastries. Turn right as you leave the airport, and Tamm and Toast Phuket Coffee is just a few blocks south of the airport on the main road.

Miss B Restaurant Phuket Airport & Bar


The name is quite a mouthful, but the place offers a pleasant, eclectic outdoor garden to relax and soak up the last bit of Phuket sunshine before your flight. Miss B is also on the main road south of the airport, making it a convenient retreat. They offer a menu of home-cooked Thai favourites, and have a full bar with a talented bartender producing tasty mojitos, daiquiris, and other blended drinks. Relax in the garden and watch the world go by while sipping a delicious cocktail.

Chair Café

Chair Café is also a morning favourite. It’s one of the places to go in the airport area for western-style egg dishes and brunch. They offer breakfast specials like eggs Benedict and French toast, plus a range of hot and iced coffees, teas, and colourful smoothies. When you leave the airport, take a right and head south. Turn left at the first three-way intersection, and you’ll see Chair Café about 50 metres down the road on your right.

Midway Café and Bar

Midway Café and Bar is the place you wish you had found at the beginning of your holiday. We provide a warm and inviting space with a friendly atmosphere. You’ll find a wide range of dishes, from Thai favourites to Western comfort foods like our excellent burgers and pizzas. We also have a full bar and offer a variety of coffee and tea specialities. With live music on tap six nights a week, you can forget about the airport for a while and relax, enjoy a drink and go with the flow.

We’re also just a short distance from the airport. Turn right when exiting the airport; we’re about a kilometre down the road on your left.
