THAILAND NATIONAL (DOMESTIC) AIRLINES

Samui airport is a private airport and so owned by Bangkok Airways. Good or bad, this is the only way to arrive on Koh Samui by flight.
You will be rewarded by its lovely sight and atmosphere. We sometimes wonder about the staff working here, as almost every one is working outside (there are no actual buildings in this airport, just grass roofing shading the sun). How come they all look so cool and unbothered in 35 degrees Celsius without air condition? Well, this is a tropical paradise and I have to say I'm glad there still are places like this in the world. If you ever get a chance, go to Samui, if for no other reason, just to experience the airport! The airport of Ko Samui is the most beautiful of the world. Relatively small however with marvelously maintained gardens it surrounds, a romantic transport vehicle that brings one from the airplane to the terminal and nice helpful personnel. The new international terminal offers a perfect service by the check in and visa formalities and the latest in security and safety facilities. Samui airport now offers the opportunity with many International airlines to check your  luggage through to your end destination and stay in the Bangkok Airport transit area. A Boeing 727 was recently added to the fleet, which makes the 1 hour 10 minutes flight from Bangkok to Samui even more comfortable. Look out for it , when checking the time table, as for the moment it is used only three times a day. Ask for row 1 or row 16. Good for long legged people as on these seats you do not have somebody in front of you.
