Two new mega Government led transportation projects are set to aid Phuket's quest to increase long term tourism numbers.

Second is collaboration with China for high speed trains between Bangkok and Kunming. Under study are multiple services that could see an accessible rail link that would take approximately 10 hours and then connect to a national railway system which is undergoing rehabilitation.
So there you have it, trains, planes and now if Phuket can just sort out its automobiles.
