Travel tips for this route

  1. Send your flight number and landing time, and allow for immigration and baggage claim, especially on international arrivals.
  2. Highway 401 past Khao Sok climbs through the hills with bends, and rain is frequent in the wet season; travelling in daylight is easier and gives better views.
  3. Catching a flight at Surat Thani Airport (URT) or a train at Phunphin? Send the flight or train time when booking so the team plans the Phuket departure to arrive before check-in, with a buffer.
  4. Heading on to Koh Samui or Koh Phangan the same day? The pier lies beyond the town, so choose a sailing with enough margin and send it to the team for a quote before booking.
  5. This is a long drive. Ask the driver whenever you need a restroom, fuel-station or coffee stop on the way.
  6. Tell us about large suitcases, strollers or a child seat (with the child's age and weight) when booking so the right vehicle and seat are ready.

What's included

  • Professional driver who knows the route
