Phuket is far from Bangkok about 862 KM. You can choose to travel to Phuket by 3 ways which are by personal car, by tour bus or by plane. If you drive, please drive safety.
How to come to Phuket by personal car
I don’t suggest this choice because if you are not good driving in Thailand, It may cause you a problem.
From Bangkok, it will take 12 hours to drive to Phuket by my experience. I suggest you to leave from Bangkok in the morning. It’s more safety.
From Bangkok, take the highway road number 35 (Phraram 2 road). It will take you pass 2 province, Samuth Sakorn and Samuth Songkram. Then find the way to the high way road number 4 (Phet-Kasem). Take it through Petchaburi, Prachuap Khiri Khan, Chumphon, Surat Thani and Phang Nga Provinces. In Phang Nga, the road is very bad and doesn’t have a high way light. MAKE SURE THAT YOU DRIVE SLOWLY AND SAFETY. Then cross the Thao Thep Krasuttri Bridge. Finally, you are in Phuket now.
TIPS
1. DRIVE SAFETY
2. In Chumphon, there is a restaurant that everyone must visit. Khun Saraii!! Very good at eating and nice toilet and bath room. Visit there if you feel tried.

How to come to Phuket by bus
You have to go to Bangkok’s Southern Bus Terminal. Take a taxi is a simple way.
Don’t choose non air-conditioned bus. It’s very bad. I used to choose it once. My face looks like I’ve been battle in war, very dirty. I suggest you to choose VIP 24 seats. It’s comfortable. There is a meal for you too. There is 2 companies that I think it is ok. First is Phuket Central tour. Another one is Phuket Travel (In Thai name is Phuket Thong Tiew). For further information, please call Phuket Air-conditioned Bus Station, the telephone number is 076-211977.

How to come to Phuket by plane

| Thai airways |
Flying to Phuket is my favorite way. It’s the most comfortable and easiest, but most expensive. There are many daily flights to Phuket. Air Asia, Nok air and One-Two-GO is the low-cost airline. I don’t suggest you to fly with One-Two-Go. There is a bad news about it, but it’s all up to you. Thai Airways and Bangkok Airways are good choices. There is a meal when you fly with them. Thai Airways usually has promotion cost. Please visit Thai Airway center to check it. In Thailand, Checking it at airline center is better than checking in a website. You may get a cheaper price.
