Hua Hin to Suratani, approx 7/8 hours, then need to catch bus another bus to Phuket, approx 4/5 hours. Make sure bus stops at Suratani, might sound stupid thing to put but they do not even tell a Thai the truth at the beginining of the journey so sure to also lie to Farang!!!

Thanks for the advice dodger, i thought it might be a long journey but when you start stopping and then starting it drag,s it out abit, prob best go to bkk and fly in, it will be a lot quicker, thanks again dodger.

Done that trip. Strongly recommend you go to Bangkok and fly down.

In HuaHin they tell you it's a VIP bus to Phuket so you think it's a nonstop run all the way on a decent coach. They don't tell you about stopping at Surat Thani, the 1 hour wait and change to a normal old slow bus with "natural" aircon that stops all the time and takes another 4+ hours to Phuket City.
