Pattay1-> Phukett

[pepsi666]

Is it possible to get to Phukett from Pattaya, either by flying or ferry ?(dont really want to go all the way back to Bangkok and then fly out, just to return back to Pattaya, helluva round trip )

Any idea of costs if a flight is possible ? (and where is there an airport near Pattaya ?)

Do ferries got to phukett from Pattaya ?

Bangkok Airways offers one flight a day from U-Tapao (sp?) in Pattaya to Phuket for approximately B4000 plus taxes and surcharge...its a fairly convienient way to get there and saves a ton of time so that you don't have to take the run to Bangkok. Bangkok Air has a website that you can book from, I just checked it and it was B3,920 for the hop.
