Thailand lies within the tropical northern hemisphere, stretching more than 1,800km
(1,100 miles) from north to south and covering an area of about 517,000 sq km
(202,000 sq miles). Its size is more or less like the one of France or Texas.
It shares borders with Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia and Malaysia boasting 700km
(1,700 miles) of coastline.
Phuket is the biggest island of Thailand; it is located on the southern part of the
Thai-Malay peninsula on the Andaman Sea which includes that part of the Indian
Ocean east of India's Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
The majority of Phuket's tourists arrive by air via Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi International
Airport (at Nong Ngu Hao, 20 km east of Bangkok) which offers direct connections to
many of the world's major cities through a variety of airlines.
Phuket has its own international airport located 30km north of Phuket city centre. There
are tens of daily flights to Bangkok plus connections to other domestic destinations.
International direct destinations from Phuket include Penang, Langkawi, Kuala
Lampur, Singapore, Hong Kong, Taipei, Sydney, Perth, Osaka and Tokyo and are
increasing. Moreover there are several charter airlines flying directly from Europe,
Russia, China and US to Phuket all around the year.
Entry Visas: are not required by tourists from most countries for a stay of up to 30 days
in Thailand but passports should have a minimum of six months remaining, before the
date of expiry.
On request we will attend you at the arrival in Phuket International Airport (as seen on
the map) and our chauffeur will drive you to the accommodation of your choice in a
comfortable air-con van. He will be easily recognisable as he will be wearing one of
our The Big Blues t-shirts and holding a sign with your name.
For the "Andaman Islands Fishing Safari" you can either depart from Phuket with us
and flying back to Thailand or wherever you want (the crossing takes more than 2 days
and 2 nights and offers a chance for very big Black Marlin) or more easily you can fly
directly to Port Blair and join there the Blind Strike for this incredible fishing experience.
In this case presently Port Blair is connected with Chennai and Kolkatta in India by
Indian Airlines, Jet Airways , JetLite , Kingfisher and Air Deccan.
From Europe you can fly directly to Chennai via Paris or Frankfurt with Air France or
Lufthansa respectively; from Singapore with Jet Airways, Indian Airlines and
Singapore Airline and from Kuala Lumpur with again Jet Airways, Indian Airlines and
Malaysia Airlines.
Other airlines serving Chennai from Europe and North-South America include also
British Airways, Delta Airline, Emirates, Gulf Air, Kuwait Airways, Qatar Airways, Saudi
Arabian Airlines and Srilankan Airline.
Finally there is also the possibility to fly from Bangkok to Port Blair via Calcutta with Jet
Airways, Thai Airways or Indian Airlines.
Immigration officials require that you have a tourist visa for India and an additional
stamp in your passport, allowing you to enter the Andaman Islands. You can apply for
the visa and additional stamp at your nearest Indian embassy or consulate.
The Big Blues requires a scanned copy, by e-mail, of your visa and passport one
month prior to the charter.
So contact us and will be more than happy to help you out with your booking.
