They offer extra legroom, reclining, and single-row seats to make your long trip more comfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Buses to Phuket depart from the Mochit Northern Bus Terminal (the popular Southern Bus Terminal is closed). At the halfway point of the trip, you&#8217;ll have a 30-minute stop to get some fresh air and grab a snack or drink.
