One of the highlights of a visit to Thailand is indubitably Phuket. The beaches are gorgeous, the scenery like a film backdrop, and eye watering prices to match. Yes, Phuket is the most expensive place in Thailand, but it is also a place of stunning natural beauty.
Phuket is located on the west coast of Thailand, just south of Koh Phangan. It doesn’t look far away on a map, but the journey takes 10 hours with the Raja Ferry or 9.5 hours with the Phantip Travel company. Both these options involve a ferry followed by a bus journey. They both drop passengers at Phuket Bus Terminal 2.
There aren’t any train lines going from Surat Thani to Phuket. It is possible to get a airplane from Surat Thani to Phuket.
The start of the journey in Koh Phangan is Thongsala. Ferries leave at 5 am, 8 am and 11 am.
