Koh Samui Airport Tourist Guide

Simply put Koh Samui airport is possible the best international airport to depart from. In the modern day of international travel with all the heightened levels of security and passenger frustrations the airport of Koh Samui comes as a breath of fresh air. Where in normal airports there would be high-level fences Samui has open space, even the walls of the arrival lounge are just bushes and flower beds!

Obviously, Koh Samui is a limited international airport with most of the flights departing having onward connections to Bangkok but the international status does allow certain mundane actions to be performed in the world’s most relaxed airport. Baggage can be checked in for connecting flights, visa departure documents can be completed and there is even a smile while going through personal security.

Tourists with onward flights from Bangkok (Suvarnabhumi,) should seriously consider the value and apparent saving by taking a long night bus when compared to the ease of flying international from Koh Samui. Bangkok Airways, not always the cheapest of airlines, have many daily services departing to Bangkok and there are also international services to Singapore, Hong Kong and Kuala Lumpur.
