As far as I am aware, the airport is now closed as no commercial aircraft land there. Phuket stopped flying apparently as the service was uneconomical. Nothing to do with their appalling safety record, of course.

Overnight train and buses are an acceptable alternative IMO.

The Elephant festival is imminent with thousands of farang tourists flocking to Surin. They usually cut down the ways of getting to and from Surin around this time. Two years ago Air Andaman dropped it's Surin route a week before the Elephant Festival. Still what can you say TiT

The plane that crashed at Mae Sot was the same plane that did the Buriram run.

It was mentioned in the Bangkok Post a couple of weeks ago that Phuket Air only had one servicible plane left,a 737,that did a run to Rangoon.

Looks like you will be left with either a 9 hour train trip or the bus trip.
