I want to buy a bus ticket from Bangkok to Phuket. I am living in the On Nut vicinity. Do I have to buy the ticket at the southern bus terminal, Sai Dai Mai, or can I buy it at an outlet downtown 2 days before?

Travel agents will be happy to supply you with a bus ticket. But personally I would got to the bus station and get a ticket with a well known company.

Did you consider getting the sleeper train to Surathani and from there a bus to Phuket? Might be more comfortable on such a long haul.

U can but using a credit card on thai ticket major

Try the bus station in Eakamai.

Believe you can make a reservation on the phone (1490, or 02-872-1777), then pay at a 7/11.
