TLDR : Answer Summary

Driving from Phang Nga to Phuket typically takes about 1.5 hours, but this may vary due to current COVID-19 checks and restrictions. Potential travelers are advised to confirm if the provincial border is open and if Phuket airport is operational, as there have been restrictions and closures in the past. It's also suggested to consult local sources and use maps for real-time updates.

From what I’ve heard the border into Phuket is closed. Lots of people have been leaving since it reopened on May 1st but they’ve been reminded that if they leave they can’t come back until the border is officially reopened.

Check with somebody local to make sure the provincial border is open. It was closed for quarantine at some point last month.

The length of the drive depends, of course, on what part of the province you are coming from. Why not just use Google maps.

If you mean Phang Nga then not far. About 1 and a half hours to the airport normally but could be longer with checks. Are you sure you mean Phang Nga? There are a lot of Phangs in Thailand.
