Q: I arrive at 23:35hrs.  Is your service still running at this time? 
A: Arriving at 23:35hrs is quite late and it is highly recommended to pre-booking your service.  As far as I know, you may want to use the trustworthy chauffeured service such as www.avis.com, www.hertz.com or a local favorite such as www.hellophuket.net  They are more low profile but well-established. Drivers employed by these professional companies are generally more friendly and helpful. Help them to get their business going 

Q: How can I go to Suratthani Province from Phuket?
A: Going to Suratthani from Phuket Town is very easy and simple.  My recommendation is using Phuket-Surathani Public Bus.  After arriving from airport, hop on the Airport Bus to go to Phuket Bus Terminal.   Then catch Phuket-Surathani Public Bus at Phuket Bus Terminal.  There are three type of buses to choose from.  The bus will service up North along Highway Route 401 before changing to Highway Route 402 at the city of Kokkloy.  Overall distance is 312 km.  Ticket information is as follows:

  • The Old Town Hostel www.phuketoldtownhostel.com Located in the heart of old town, this place has clean new, nice, cheap room with private batroom.  Most importantly this place has a keyguard door access for safety purpose..My favorite, the ex-mayor runs this place.  Well educated and friendly staffs!
  • Nawaporn Place www.nawapornplace.com Clean new nice cheap..close to Phuket Bus Terminal which you can connect to somewhere else
  • Thalang Guest House www.thalangguesthouse.com Clean wear-tear cheap...
  • Phuket Backpacker http://www.phuketbackpacker.com  New dormlike, but I think it miss some charm...perhaps you have to make a call.
  • On On hotels www.lonelyplanet.com/hotel/Phuket-On-On-Hotel-P113239.html Hotel It is famed by the Hollywood Movie "The Beach." But the place is old, wear-tear, if you want to stay I suggest only 1 night and move out to a better place.  What is cool about this palce is it has a chic coffee (kopi) place down stair www.kopidephuket.com/onon_branch.php (My favorite kopi place)
