To get from the capital of Thailand Bangkok to Phuket Island, possibly in several ways, it is plane, train, bus or by car. Each option has, both its advantages and cons.

Local airlines can be found at Bangkok International Airport in the arrival hall, you can also find out the schedule, accurate cost and other things. In particular, the local airline Phuketeir flies to Phuket. The duration of the flight is 1.2 - 1.3 hours.
A train
You can get through the railway transport, but this is not the most convenient option, because the train does not go directly to Phuket, but they reach the city of Surat Tanya (ride around 11-13 hours, depending on the type of train), from which by bus You will come to Phuket (about 5 hours of the road). Total runs 14 buses, so there are no problems on them.
Bus
The distance from Bangkok to Phuket is a little more than 870 kilometers and overcome this path by bus in 12-3 hours. Buses to Phuket walk from the South Bus Station, which is also called Sai Tai May. This information will be useful if you get to the taxi bus station. As practice shows, it is better to buy tickets to the VIP-bus, as it has a TV, air conditioning and fed it. The average cost of the ticket to such a bus is a little more than a thousand baht.
