Phuket International Airport Terminal 2 Map (Most Up-To-Date)
Phuket International Airport Terminal 2 (Domestic) is the older, wider building in the HKT terminal pair, set parallel to the newer International Terminal with a short gap between facades. The complex runs in a straight, side-by-side layout with public curbside access on the same frontage. Terminal 2 is a two-level stack (arrivals below, departures above) within Phuket’s main airport grounds, with the main inter-terminal movement happening at ground level via the covered outdoor walkway.

| Level 2 | Domestic departures | Check-in rows + CUSS kiosks | Security at far end |
| Landside front | Pickups + transport | Grab Booth near Gate 1 | Walk to/from International Terminal |
Phuket International Airport Terminal 2 Map Strategy
- Treat Terminal 2 as “Domestic only”: if your boarding pass says International, plan to walk to the International Terminal and go up to the departures level there.
- For fastest legal self-transfer, aim for Terminal 2 Level 1 Exit Door 1 first, then follow the covered outdoor walkway along the terminal faces to the International Terminal entrance before going upstairs to departures.
- For pickups, default to the Grab Booth area at Terminal 2 near Gate 1; don’t try to “meet at International arrivals curb” if you’re using e-hailing.
- Use one anchor decision to reduce anxiety: if you are not escorted on a through-ticket, assume you cannot use the airside Swing Gate link and commit to the public covered-walkway route.

What is the exact walking route from Domestic Terminal (T2) arrivals exit to the International Terminal departures entrance (step-by-step by landmarks)?
The fastest legal route is the ground-level public walk from Terminal 2 Arrivals Exit Door 1 along the covered outdoor walkway to the International Terminal entrance, then up to the departures hall. From Terminal 2 Level 1, walk out of the baggage claim zone (carousels 6–10) into the public arrivals hall and follow signs to Exit Door 1.
Outside Exit Door 1, turn left and keep the Terminal 2 building on your right shoulder while you enter the covered pedestrian corridor that runs parallel to both terminal facades. Stay on this covered walkway all the way until you reach the International Terminal ground-level entry doors. Enter the International Terminal, then take the nearest escalator or lift up to Floor 3 to reach the International Departures check-in entrance.
What is the measured distance (meters) between the T2 door you exit and the International Terminal door you enter using the shortest legal pedestrian path?
The shortest legal pedestrian distance is approximately 200 meters from Terminal 2 Exit Door 1 to the International Terminal ground-level entrance via the covered outdoor walkway. That measurement refers to the straight, self-guided public path that follows the terminal facades rather than any airside connector.
This is the same corridor used for landside terminal transfers: exit Terminal 2 at Level 1 via Door 1, turn left, and continue on the covered walkway until it ends at the International Terminal entry doors. After you enter, any additional distance to International Departures depends on vertical travel to Floor 3 by escalator or lift inside the International Terminal.
Where is the exact e-hailing/Grab pickup point on the airport map (terminal side, door/exit number, curb/lot name)?
The primary Grab pickup point is the dedicated Grab Booth area in front of the Domestic Terminal (Terminal 2) near Gate 1. This is the map-verifiable e-hailing node intended to keep Grab vehicles away from the International Terminal arrival curb.
On the terminal frontage, use Terminal 2 Level 1 (arrivals side) and follow signs toward Gate 1. The pickup happens at the curb directly outside the terminal by the Grab Booth/staging area rather than at the standard taxi rank. If you are coming from the International Terminal, the legal Grab pickup requires walking along the covered walkway to Terminal 2 and then approaching the Gate 1 curbside area.
What is the precise walking path from International Arrivals customs exit to the Grab pickup point (which doors/turns)?
The Grab pickup requires a landside walk from the International Arrivals exit to the Domestic Terminal (Terminal 2) Grab Booth near Gate 1, because Grab is not positioned at the International arrivals curb. After you clear customs into the public arrivals area, head left and follow wayfinding toward the Domestic Terminal connection.
Continue straight onto the covered outdoor walkway that runs parallel to the terminal fronts, keeping the terminal buildings close by as you walk. Stay on the covered corridor until you reach the corner just before the Domestic Terminal frontage, then angle slightly right toward Terminal 2’s curbside. Follow the curbside flow to the Grab Booth area near Gate 1 and wait at the dedicated pickup node rather than the taxi queue.
Where is the covered walkway / bridge access point between terminals located (level/floor + nearest entrance)?
The public inter-terminal connector is the ground-level covered outdoor walkway accessed from Terminal 2 Level 1 at Exit Door 1. This corridor runs along the terminal facades and leads directly to the International Terminal’s ground-level entrance doors.
The airside connector that people often assume is a “bridge” is the Level 2 connecting pathway tied to the International Terminal Swing Gate zone, and it is not a self-guided public route. That secure Level 2 link is reached from inside the International Terminal near the Transit/Transfer flow and typically requires airline escort on a through-ticket to use it.
Is the terminal-to-terminal transfer path fully indoors, fully outdoors, or mixed—and which specific segments are exposed (as shown on the map)?
It is a mixed transfer with an outdoor segment, because the public terminal-to-terminal route uses a covered walkway that is outside the buildings. You walk indoors while exiting Terminal 2, then you transition to the covered outdoor pedestrian corridor, and you go back indoors when you enter the International Terminal.
From Terminal 2, you move indoors from baggage claim (carousels 6–10) through the public arrivals hall to Exit Door 1. The exposed portion begins immediately after you step outside Door 1 onto the covered walkway: it is rain-sheltered but open-air to humidity and ambient heat. The exposure ends when you pass through the International Terminal ground-level entry doors, after which all movement to International Departures happens indoors via escalators or lifts up to Floor 3.
Where is the domestic check-in island/row located inside Terminal 2 (relative to the main entrance and security)?
The domestic check-in rows are in Terminal 2 on Level 2 in the main departures hall, positioned between the landside entrances and the far-end security checkpoint. After you come up to Level 2 and enter the departures space, the check-in counter banks (organized by numbered counters/rows) occupy the central hall where passenger queues form.
From the main departures entrances, you encounter CUSS kiosks first (clustered by entrances), then the conventional check-in counters beyond them. The domestic security entrance is not immediately adjacent to the doors; it sits at the far end of the building past the length of the check-in hall, so you orient by walking through the check-in area toward the terminal’s end to reach screening.
Where is the security checkpoint entrance in Terminal 2 relative to the check-in counters (exact corridor/turn)?
The Terminal 2 domestic security entrance is on Level 2 at the far end of the departures hall beyond the check-in counter area. From the main check-in zone, you reach it by walking straight along the length of the hall toward the terminal’s end rather than turning into a side corridor.
After you finish at the numbered check-in counters, face in the direction passengers with boarding passes are flowing and continue forward toward the end wall of the departures level. The security screening entry is positioned as the end-of-hall choke point for domestic departures, so you keep the check-in banks behind you and follow the main straight-through passage until you reach the screening lanes.
Where is the International departures immigration/passport control located (floor/zone) relative to the main check-in hall?
International departures immigration/passport control is on Floor 3 of the International Terminal immediately after the departures check-in hall and the initial outbound screening flow. Once you finish check-in in the main departures hall (Rows A–H), you move forward into the next controlled zone rather than changing floors.
From the check-in area, follow the main passenger stream toward the controlled processing area: first the outbound security/document check step, then the passport control queues positioned right after that transition. The key landmark relationship is that immigration sits directly “downstream” of the Floor 3 check-in hall—check-in behind you, passport control ahead—before you disperse toward gates and the higher-level retail/dining buffer areas.
Where is the “Transit/Transfer / Swing Gate” area located in the International Terminal (exact level/zone on the map)?
The Transit/Transfer and Swing Gate area is on Level 2 of the International Terminal in the secure airside transit zone. It sits on the International Terminal’s Level 2 circulation layer used for escorted connections, not in the public arrivals hall.
On the map logic, you find it by staying airside after arriving and following “Transit/Transfer” routing rather than exiting to landside customs. The Swing Gate functions as the jurisdiction boundary point for international-to-domestic (or domestic-to-international) through-ticket connections, where processing like immigration stamping and security screening happens before the Level 2 airside connecting pathway leads onward toward Terminal 2’s domestic departure lounge area.
What is the fastest mapped walking route from T2 baggage claim belts to the International Terminal departures check-in hall?
The fastest mapped route is baggage claim (carousels 6–10) to Terminal 2 Exit Door 1, then the covered outdoor walkway to the International Terminal entrance, then up to Floor 3 for the check-in hall. This is the quickest legal self-guided path if you must re-check for an international flight.
From Terminal 2 Level 1, leave the baggage reclaim area into the public arrivals hall and follow signs to Exit Door 1. Outside Door 1, turn left and continue on the covered walkway that parallels the terminal facades until you reach the International Terminal ground-level entry doors. Enter the International Terminal and take the nearest escalator or lift to Floor 3, where the International Departures check-in rows (A–H) are located.
Where is the most reliable meeting spot that both terminals can reach fastest (pinpoint: door/exit + visible landmark)?
The most reliable meet-up point is the covered walkway junction by Terminal 2 Level 1 Exit Door 1. This spot is the practical convergence node because it sits directly on the public inter-terminal path and is sheltered, so neither party has to guess which terminal curb to use.
From Terminal 2, exit via Door 1 and stop immediately under the covered pedestrian corridor before you turn left toward the International Terminal. From the International Terminal side, walk the covered corridor toward Terminal 2 and look for the Terminal 2 Door 1 exit area as the landmark. This location avoids Grab/taxi curb confusion and keeps both sides on the same straight-line connector.
