Getting to Thailand
Getting to Thailand is easy. If you are looking to take advantage of Thailand's best diving then you should be thinking to visit Thailand's west coast to take a liveaboard to Similan Islands, Ko Bon and Richelieu Rock.
Phuket International Airport is in the north of Phuket, and is just one hour drive south of Khao Lak. There are direct flights from Hong Kong, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Australia, the Middle East and in high season, charter flights from Europe. Most other international flights arrive to Thailand via Bangkok. From Bangkok there at least 10 daily flights to Phuket so you won't be stuck with a long lay-over in Bangkok if you come that way.
