Bangkok to Koh Samui Flights

Flights from Bangkok

In recent years, flights from Bangkok, both domestically and internationally, have been transferred to the newly built Suvarnabhumi Airport. This new major terminal for air traffic, both out of and into Thailand, is home to a full range of the amenities and services that are expected of a modern international airport, including shopping and dining.

Getting to Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport

Suvarnabhumi Airport can be reached by road from the city centre in Bangkok, as well as from the surrounding region. For road transport, the recommended links to the airport include the public bus service, as well as taxi and shuttle services. Given the recent construction of the airport, it is likely that further transport links to the airport will be developed in the coming years.

A number of bus services take passengers to the bus terminal at the public transportation centre at the airport, including bus routes from the Southern bus terminal in Bangkok and from the On-Nut Skytrain station. Shuttle buses from local hotels, privately hired taxis, and a more expensive limousine service, all have drop-off points on the departures floor at the airport. Drivers can also find long-term parking near the public bus terminal.

Traveling to Koh Samui

Situated off the east coast of the Kra Isthmus, the island of Koh Saumi is Thailand's second-largest island. Its white-sand beaches and coral reefs attract over one and a half million visitors per year. Planning a tropical island getaway to Koh Saumi is a breeze when you use ebookers to make your travel reservations. You'll arrive at Koh Saumi Airport, located roughly one mile from the island's main city, Chaweng. It is a private airport originally built by Bangkok Airlines, which is still the main carrier servicing the island.

Transportation from Koh Saumi Airport

You have several options to get to Chaweng from Koh Saumi Airport. A minibus picks up passengers at the airport frequently for a cost of 120 baht. Taking a taxi is faster, and rides to the main city cost between three hundred and five hundred baht. You should negotiate your rate ahead of time if you choose a taxi, as many drivers refuse to use their meters.

Weather in Koh Saumi

The island of Koh Saumi has a tropical monsoon climate, which means eleven months out of the year experience heavy-to-moderate rainfall. February is the driest month, as average rainfall drops below three inches. The wettest months are October and November, and rainfall during other months of the wet season tends to end quickly, allowing you to get back to lounging on the beach. Temperatures throughout the year range between 24°C and 32°C. No matter what season you're planning to visit, be sure to pack cool, light clothing to deflect the heat and humidity, and bring an umbrella too in case a shower strikes while you're exploring the island.

Things to Do in Koh Saumi

Koh Saumi is famous for its fabulous beaches and incredible ocean views. Laem Yai is on the north-west side of the island and offers a secluded beach with views of the Ang Thong islands. Chaweng beach is the most popular tourist beach, with facilities for water sports and a vibrant nightlife scene. Located on the north-eastern tip of the island is the village of Bang Rok, home of the famous Big Buddha Beach. When you're tired of lounging on the gorgeous white sand, take in some of the island's cultural attractions, such as the Laem Sor Pagoda Ko Samui, the Wat Khunaram Ko Samui, and the Secret Buddha Garden. When you're ready to escape to the exotic tropical island of Koh Saumi, remember that ebookers can help you find great deals on airline tickets and hotel accommodation.
