What is the cheapest way to travel to phuket from Bangkok?

Question

I'm planning a trip to Thailand for next year and wanted to go to both Bangkok and Phuket but i am not sure whether it is easier to catch a bus or by airplane??

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

It costs about $120AUD return from Bangkok to Phuket you would be crazy to catch the bus. Both of the airports are relatively close to the cities

Answer 2

strongly recommend to take airplane... a lot of low cost airlines are available.. http://www.discovery-thailand.com/Phuket...

doesn't worth to take bus ..http://www.discovery-thailand.com try these website for interesting Thailand information...

Answer 3

if there is a couple of you then why not get a quote from a private taxi? I also believe you can get plane tickets for as cheap as £30 each way on AirAsia. Worth a look but i'd prob go with the bus.

Answer 4

The cheapest is Bus, there is no train that goes to Phuket you would need to take a train and then a bus, so it wouldn't be cheapest.  Flying on discount airlines like air asia is the best option.  It takes a little over an hour to fly to Phuket.

Answer 5

go for the bus.

bkk to phu+=450 b

phu to bkk=650 b

also you save money coz you don,t need a taxi from and to airport.plus also the fare of two nites you spend in the bus.they got great buses.

Answer 6

Answer 7

The cheapest and (by far) most uncomfortable way is by bus.Next would be the train. Airplane tickets have come down quite a bit since the appearance of budget airlines, so why don't you take a plane?

A bus or train takes about 12 hours. A plane about 2.
