im not sure of exactly how long it will take for the bus from hat yai but would bet on at least 8 yrs. cost would probably be about 500thb. (please someone correct me if i am wrong here). bus is the best way. phuket is an island with no train station.

patong has the biggest nightlife scene.

try jinnys guest house. they have a website.

8 years is a little slow for even these buses. But I don't know, maybe it feels like it. My Rough Guide book confirms Donna's estimate, showing 6-8 hours with 12 daily buses. But it is 3 years old.
