About the Bangkok → Phuket route
At roughly 860 km, Bangkok to Phuket is a true long-haul down the Phetkasem Highway through Chumphon and across to the Andaman coast — 12 hours or more, usually overnight. Splitting it with a driver heading the same way is far cheaper and more flexible than the bus or a one-way flight plus transfers.
Route taken: Phetkasem Highway (Route 4) all the way down the peninsula
