Koh Samui Airport serves the whole of Samui Island and is located near Bo Phut Beach, on the northern part of the island. The airport claims to be the most beautifully designed airport because of its resort-like features. The airport can indeed be mistaken as a resort and an unusual one, at that, since there is barely an indoor area except for the gift shop. The airport is about 2 kilometers from the main village of Chaweng and can be traveled to by minibuses, private taxis, private cars and cheap car rental at Samui Island Airport.

The airport serves flights to destinations such as Bangkok Suvarnabhumi, Chiang Mai, Krabi, Phuket, U-Tapao, Hong Kong, Singapore and Subang. The airlines that serve the airport include Bangkok Airways, Thai Airways International, Berjaya Air and Firefly.

The airport is the largest privately owned airport in Thailand and plans to take over the title as the second international air hub in Bangkok, with its plans of expansion in terms of destination reach.

The airport is also famous for its shopping centre where famous brands and retail shops as well as restaurants and local business are at large.

The airport’s transport services include minibuses and private taxis. Tickets and arrangements for car transfers are available at the transport counter located in the arrivals area. Fares for the minibuses vary per destination but does not exceed 200 Baht per person. Private cars are more expensive and ranges from 400 to 800 Baht. Car rental counters can also be found at the arrivals area. You can book your car hire deals from Hertz, Sixt, Budget and Avis.
