Located
approximately 862 kilometers south of Bangkok
is Phuket, Thailand's largest island, which
is often dubbed as the pearl of the Andaman,
or the pearl of the south. Its natural resources-
rocky peninsular, limestone cliffs, white
powdery beaches, tranquil broad bays and
tropical in-land forests contribute to making
it the South's wealthiest, busiest, most
visited and most popular island and province.
Spectacular scenery, stunning tropical sunsets
and warm blue sea awaits at Asia’s
most popular beach destination. The island
of fun provides an unbeatable combination
of perfect silky soft beaches, superb hospitality
and great value accommodation!
Whether
it's world class diving in the Andaman Sea,
golf at championship courses or exciting
eco-adventures in tropical forest, Phuket
is a place to extend your horizons. Take
an exhilarating speedboat trip to surrounding
islands, or a serene cruise around mystical
Phang Nga Bay. Or simply enjoy Phuket’s
vibrant nightlife in Patong Beach. Total
enjoyment!
Parents
and children, beach bums and barflies, newlyweds
and 90-year-olds: Phuket has everything
you’re looking for. It caters to all
tastes, every budget, and promises to deliver
a smile-filled holiday in the exotic surrounds
of the planet’s classic island getaway.It
can be luxurious and secluded, vivacious
and untamed, or somewhere in the middle;
your niche is here. Your fairytale wedding!!!!!!
Weddings
at Phuket can take place at any hotel/resort
overlooking the sea. We recommend Patong,
Kata and Karon beaches.
Accessibility
Air
: This is perhaps the easiest way to get
to Phuket. Domestic airlines operate several
flights daily between Bangkok and Phuket.
Some flights go to Phuket via Samui Island
with a 40-minute stopover.
Roadways
:Air-conditioned and non air-conditioned
buses leave Bangkok's Southern Bus Terminal
for Phuket several times daily. Trips by
air-conditioned bus, which normally leaves
in the evening, take about 13 hours. By
Car from Bangkok, take Highway No.4 (Phetchakasem
Road) through Phetchaburi, Prachuap Khiri
Khan, Chumphon, Surat Thani and Phang-nga
Provinces, then cross the Thep Krasattri
Bridge or Sarasin Bridge to Phuket Island.
The total distance is 862 kilometers and
the travel time is approximately 12 hours.
Railways
:There is no direct train service to Phuket.
Travelers arriving by train must get off
at Phun Phin Railway Station in Surat Thani
Province and continue by regular bus to
Phuket.
Waterways
: During the high season, travelers may
opt to get to Phuket from Ko Phi Phi and
Ko Lanta (both are in Krabi Province). Few
ports in Phuket provide this service with
fares ranging between 300 bahts and 500
baht. The trip may take 1.5 to 2 hours,
depending on weather conditions.
