Thailand’s Phuket is one of the best island paradises in the world. The island has attracted millions of passengers each year due to its beautiful adornment of white sandy beaches, crystal clear sea water as well as numerous exciting water activities offered. Due to the long distance between Bangkok and Phuket, bus services provide easy access to get to Phuket. Riding a bus saves more cost and is the best alternative for an economical way of travelling.
Two bus terminals are available in Phuket namely the old Phuket Bus Terminal and Phuket Bus Terminal 2. The former terminal features several local bus services connecting Phuket to many popular destinations in Thailand whereas the other bus terminal primarily hosts tourist buses. The old Phuket Bus Terminal is located in Phuket Town on Phang Nga Road offering a bus route to Phuket International Airport.
