Getting
There
Located off the southwest coast,
just an hour's flight from Bangkok, Phuket
is linked to the mainland by a causeway
and is thus accessible by road as well
as by air.
There are many daily flights from
Bangkok, as well as direct
air links with Hong Kong, Malaysia,
Singapore, Japan and Europe. Alternatively,
there are overnight bus
services from Bangkok
Getting Around
Resort
hotels generally offer shuttle bus
services into Phuket Town, and also
have taxi
and car hire facilities. Jeeps and
motorbikes can be hired from various
shops in Phuket and at the main beaches.
Mini taxis are plentiful in town. Boats
to Phi Phi and other offshore islands
depart from various points (mostly Makham
Pier, Chalong Bay and Rawai Beach) and
arrangements are easily made through your
hotel travel counter, where you can also
book tour excursions to Phangnga and elsewhere.
