Also, is it possible for me to take a coach direct from Chaweng Beach to Patong Beach, or is the the Nathon-Phuket Town service the only option available? I prefer to take VIP/1st Class coach rather than a minivan as I think the journey will be too long for this.
Thanks, SF.
I can't help you with the coach, but I can say the roads across the peninsula are excellent. We travelled by boat from Samui to the coast and then travelled by car to Krabi. The roads were excellent and mainly traffic free, its an easy enough trip.(obviously Phuket is that bit further)
