Patong to Phuket immigration Office.

[cleverman]

No car and have lost count of friends or acquaintenances killed or injured riding motor bikes. And, car hire costly. I wonder if easy enough to take the bus to Phuket and then how far to the Imm Office .

[LivinginKata]

Quite a long walk from the Patong bus drop off point. Just a 10 minute mobike taxi ride.

Depending on what you want to do at the office, you might give the Immigration in Patong a try. They are doing 30-day extensions, 90-days reports, and re-entry permits. Find the office on the beach road near the watchtower or Air Asia Office.

Here's an all song thaew solution to get to the Phuket Town Immigration Office from the west coast beaches.  Take a blue baht bus to Phuket Town, where you get off at the downtown Phuket Destination on Ranong Rd. where all the blue baht busses drop off their passengers.  Then a very short walk in the same direction on Ranong Rd. to Suriyadej Circle (pronounced in Thai: Wong-wian Su-ri-ya-det), where you can catch a pink baht bus (either #1 route - orange on the map, or #3 route - green on the map) going to Saphan Hin Park (pronounced in Thai: Sa-pan Hin).  The pink baht bus will cost you 10 baht per ride.  Note that the route goes right by Phuket Road which is where Phuket Town Immigration Office is located very near to the traffic circle there on Phuket Rd.  Even if you get off at Saphan Hin Park it is a very short walk to Immigration.

 

Simply reverse the process to go back: walk over to Saphan Hin Park from Thai Immigration and catch a pink baht bus back to downtown (Suriyadej Circle), and then a very short walk up Ranong Rd. to get into a blue baht bus going back to your west coast beach town (it will have the beach destination written in English on the bus).

 

A couple of tips.  The pink baht bus should be boarded at a bus stop (although you could try to hail one, it's better to look for the pink bus stop signs).  Here's what the pink busses look like:

 

Notice that this one is a Route #2 bus (red lettering in English on a white background sign on the side of the bus) while you want only a #1 or #3.  This is what the pink baht busses look like.

Note that your blue baht bus will drop you off on Rayong Rd. near the big traffic circle (green and orange on the map) near the center of the map (near Downtown Market).  The nearby big traffic circle (green and orange on the map) is Suriyadej.  You will catch the pink baht bus here which will take you to the bottom of the map where you will find Saphan Hin Park.  The Thai immigration office is just up and to the right of the traffic circle there on Phuket Rd.

Excuse me.

Pink city bus is now 15 Baht.

First, it was 10 Baht.

But just like every other thing, it is higher. Oh no !.
