I live in Phuket and have not seen my parents in nearly 4 years, due to work restrictions I dont have the time to visit them back in Ireland. Both of them will not fly anywhere so I am finding it hard to get them on a holiday to Phuket. They have agreed to come if they dont have to fly Is there a possible and safe way they can get to Phuket Thailand by Bus, train, boat, hovercraft, cruise ship......whatever without using wings and altitude. Your help would be most appreciated

a train is a really good way to go. and they get to see the country as well.

yeah they could take a boat, just do a search on yahoo for it.

I m sure there is way to get there mixing all kind of transportation stated. But it will take to much money and time, if they leave now, they will probably get there in a long time. Are they afraid of flying, i know a few airline company have programs for fear, like Air France if i recall

if they have no wings;just kiddin. if they wont fly.going by land is gonna be difficult. seems the only way possible would be by sea. i sure would'nt want to ship that far. yuk!.i dont like getting too high either.they want to go there?

I am sure there is a way - but it will take a very, very long time and a lot of money. It will involve a lot of trains and/or ship and buses. They should talk to their local travel agent about it. I imagine it means taking the train across Europe then through parts of Russia and China. Then bus down south through the Golden triangle region. Or take a cruise ship through the Mediterranean and then come through the middle east and India and Bangladesh by bus or train. (not sure if they can come through Myanmar) Regardless, the land route is not as safe as plane because they will have to travel through some very lonely and isolated roads. You need to make them realise that. There may be cruise ship that will come to Gulf of Siam from India but they will have to travel only at certain time. What you are asking is possible but It will cost a lot of money!!!
