Table of Contents
While planning a trip to Southeast Asia, we decided to visit both Thailand and Indonesia. For those planning a comprehensive holiday like ours, we thought it would be helpful to create a detailed guide on how to travel from our last stop in Thailand—Phuket—to Bali.
In this post, you’ll find all the essential information on traveling from Phuket to Bali.
However, if you haven’t yet reached Thailand and are planning your Bangkok flight, check out our “How to Get from Istanbul to Bangkok” guide. Or, if you’re traveling in the opposite direction and need information on reaching Bangkok instead of Bali, see our “How to Get from Phuket to Bangkok” guide.
How to Travel from Phuket to Bali?
The most practical way to travel from Phuket to Bali is by air. Although a road journey via ferry through Malaysia and Singapore could take roughly 75 hours, it’s hardly practical. So, let’s dive straight into the flight options, airlines, and travel details from Phuket to Bali.
How to Find Cheap Flights from Phuket to Bali?
We opted for a connecting flight from Phuket Airport to Bali’s Denpasar Airport via Malaysia to find a cheaper fare.
Our Costs:
- First Leg: We flew with Nok Air to Kuala Lumpur International Airport. We paid 122 Euro for 2 people.
- Second Leg: Then, we flew with Batik Air to Bali. The cost 945 Euro for 2 people.
Tips for Finding Cheaper Flights
- Compare Prices: Always check the airline’s official website after using price comparison sites, as direct bookings are often cheaper.
- Choose Connecting Flights: Low-cost carriers often provide more affordable options on connecting flights.
- Book Early: Avoid last-minute bookings, or catch deals during promotional periods.
- Explore Different Layover Locations: Changing your layover location can sometimes reveal cheaper options.
- Fly Economy Class.

Important Tips for Bali’s Denpasar (DPS) Airport
Upon arrival at Bali’s Ngurah Rai International Airport, there are a few things to keep in mind for a faster and smoother entry:
- Visa on Arrival: Indonesian authorities require Turkish citizens to obtain a visa on arrival, which costs USD 31 per person and is payable in various currencies.
- Customs Declaration: After obtaining your visa, fill out a form on the left-hand computers, declaring any duty-free items if necessary. Note that items such as laptops or phones must be reported if you plan to stay over 90 days.
- Transportation: For those without pre-arranged transportation, expect to encounter various taxi offers upon exit. Download a ride-hailing app like GoJek, Grab, or Uber beforehand to check prices and book your transport.
Private Transfer from Bali Airport
For nearby destinations like Seminyak or Kuta, a taxi might suffice. However, for longer distances like Ubud or Uluwatu, we recommend arranging a reliable private transfer.
Our Driver Recommendation: For a safe and affordable transfer service, we recommend contacting Mr. Nur Sadiq, whom we met during our Bali trip. You can see more on Instagram: @tutmayinbizi.
