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.
