Natasha,

Why not take the bus all the way to Phuket from Southern Bus Terminal in Bangkok. The journey takes 13 hours and costs between 650-950 baht.

Have to agree with the above post aswell, why not go all the way to Phuket. But I have to say that Chumphon is well worth a few days on a quite beach.

Chumphon has a very beautiful beach with very little development, it's nowhere on the scale of Phuket but does have one small resort and a few cheap budget places dotted around. If you have time I defiantly recommend staying a few days.

From Chumphon you can get a bus to Surat Thani which is the transport hub for that region and get another one onto Phuket.

as said before, there are direct buses that go from BKK to Phuket. Unless you want to stop at Chumphon for whatever reasons, you can take the night bus to get down there.

It takes 12 hours or so and close to 1000 Baht for a VIP class bus, which is the most comfortable one. First class is also acceptable. But don't take the 2nd class, as it stops a lot more as people get on and get off.

During normal times, you can get a ticket on the same day. But I would suggest you should leave Bangkok for the southern bus terminal by 4, as the traffic will get worse after that time. There are shops, restaurants and food court inside the terminal.

Your hotel would likely have bus info from Chumphon to Phuket. There are definitely buses going all the way, no need to go to Surat Thani. I don't known the latest bus schedule, but there are surely buses before noon time, as it takes 6 or 7 hours to get there.
