Phuket Province
Phunphin is the transportation hub of Surat Thani Province. It has one railway intersection, three railway stations, and four rail stops. Surat Thani Railway Station in this district is the main passenger railway station of Surat Thani Province. At the Ban Thung Pho junction (km631) the southern railway branches to what was originally intended to connect the railway to Takua Thung District, Phang Nga, just north of Phuket Province. After the completion of 31 km of the railroad to Khiri Ratthanikhom in 1956, construction was halted for budgetary reasons.
