The province's main train station, Surat Thani Station, is located in Tambon Tha Kham in that district. The city of Surat Thani itself is not connected to the railway line. At the Ban Thung Pho Junction at kilometer 631, there is a turnoff to the formerly planned station in the district of Takua Thung of Phang Nga province , just across from Phuket . After the first 31 km to Khiri Ratthanikhom had been completed in 1956, the project was put on hold due to financial difficulties.

The Amphoe Phunphin is also home to Surat Thani Airport , the "Inland Container Depot" (ICD) and the "Asian Highway" AH2 as the main connection to the other provinces of Thailand.
