Or you can just get the ferry to the mainland from the Gulf islands and cross by road. Phuket isn’t an island, there’s a road connection. We try to avoid flying because of the environmental impact as much as we can. There are buses to all neighbouring countries although we’ve never taken the land crossing into Malaysia because my husband thinks we might be in danger on that one. I’d do it, he won’t.

Gulf of Thailand and Phuket or Langawi is the opposite (Andaman Sea)I. Order to reach that point you must travel by a cruise ship around Malaysia ,Singapore

Thank you John, yes I think we all know that Thailand is currently closed to tourists with no date for re-opening yet announced. We’re watching and waiting. Hopefully, Thailand will reopen soon.
