I can add to one of your many questions. I will also be traveling from Bangkok to Phucket for their beaches and will be staying at the Hilton on Karon beach. There is a Phucket forum on trip advisor that you should check out. Many people have given their trip reports and great recommendations. We will be going to an elephant rehab center, snorkeling, and on the Hong Starlight trip all which have been highly recommended for Phucket. We are traveling to Phucket via Thai Airlines and I think the flight is a little over one hour. We will be staying in Phucket for one week, however many people stay much longer. good luck.

Hi,

Try looking up Airasia to get from BKK to Phk its about $48 AUD sometimes cheaper. If you have plenty of time I think you can bus it but I dont know the cost of this. As to accomodation just put in cheap accomodation in the search and that should bring up alot of suggestions from other people.

Hope this helps enjoy your trip.
