Travel Times in Phuket
Traveling to Chalong Pier
Phuket Island is a lot larger than most new visitors believe. It is around 50km in length and about 12km in width. It takes in about 576 square kilometres of land. Here are some approximate travel times when you are in Phuket.
The island is also a lot busier than some new travelers expect. Official reports have the local population at almost 400,000 however some unofficial reports say that there could be up to 1 million people on the island at any one time.
The large number of locals and visitors on the island and the long travel distances creates quite dense traffic conditions and at times can hamper travel times making them a lot longer than expected.

All of the scuba diving boats depart from Chalong Pier the far south of the island. Travel times from north to south is generally around 60 minutes however if the traffic is at peak hour or particularly busy this travel time could blow out to 100 + minutes.
Phuket, as like most other civilized areas has peak hour traffic, 7:30 – 9:30 am and 4:00pm – 6:00pm. Local schools can also hamper traffic flow around the same times.
