You can get a flight to Phuket, or a bus to Hat yai then change to Bangkok, or, as I am doing, a Train from KL to Butterworth then direct to BKK.

The train is great - you get a sleeper and some awesome views and less chance of road carnage.

On the bad side, the food is appalling, so BYO or buy off the vendors who swarm the train every few hours.

If not sold out, I'd definitely recommend the train.

regards

and best of luck

From KL you might be able to go by air to U-tapao, 140 km. from BKK.
