I just flew in to Thailand and have no idea what Im doing. I took the train from Bangkok to Chiang Mai yesterday and in 2 days I would like to go to Phuket.
I would prefer to fly there from Chiang Mai...I didnt really care for the train. Any recommendations?

Thai airways has daily direct flights from Chiang Mai (CNX) to Phuket (HKT). Total flight duration is only 1 hr and 55 mins.
TG 129 CNX - HKT etd: 1115 eta : 1310
Cost will be around $141.

Prices vary with time and day. I used June 27th on all these
While ThaiAir is nice Air Asia is always cheapest in Thailand if you don't mind a connecting flight in Bangkok and first come, first serve seating.
Chiang Mai to Bangkok 800baht = $20US
Bangkok to Phuket 1000baht = $25US

If not Air Asia, go with Thai Air
Chiang Mai to Phuket 5000baht = $125

You can book both of these airlines from their website at no extra charge. All you have to do is show identification when picking tickets up at airport a couple hours before departure. Bring your receipt just in case.

try one of the following, go into an agent ask about prices for flights direct from chiang mai to phuket, you may have to go via Bangkok! however i think you will find Bangkok airways may fly direct and or Thai, you can also ask about air Asia and one two fly these are the budget airlines, ask about any promotions at the time you wish to fly, an alternative is catch a VIP bus, from Bangkok to phuket is about 1200 baht to 1600 baht i think? the 24 seater is good with big seats ! only thing with the bus is its about 12 hours! prices by air can vary unless you are on a strict timetable just buy one way tickets as you need them the price of return is usually not committing yourself if you have a change of plan!

You have options to fly from Chiangmai to Phuket. Either direct flight with Thai Airways or fly through Bangkok. Direct flight cost you about 5,200bahts, flight time about 2 hours.
if you take the Bangkok transit flight, you can fly by Thai Airways or Orient-Thai Airways for about 3,500bahts. Duration about 3-4hrs including the transit time, depending on your flight connection.

any travel agent in CM can book this flight for you - - easy as pie.. you should have come north from Bkk on a bus, they have first class buses that are very nice.. hey, if you just arrived, take a day off and relax a little - get out from under the jet lag etc.. before you go racing all over the place.. chill out - have a nice meal and a good nights sleep.. Are you here for a while? There is nice stuff outside of CM too -

You're joking, right? Go to the airport. Take a taxi there. Don't forget your bag. Go to any ticketing counter. Say "I wanna go to Phuket on the next flight". Pay. Sit down (or pace about nervously if you prefer). Get on plane. Voila!

I'm not sure I want to pronounce the last City name of your question.
