Departing from Bangkok: airports and terminals

Arriving in Ko Samui: from the airport to the city

Your flight lands at Samui International Airport, about 2km from the centre in the north of the island. Open-air trolley shuttles move passengers from the plane to the terminal. This airport is famous for its thatched roofs and tropical garden setting.

You can arrange island transport at the service counters in the arrivals area. Options include private taxis, minivans, and shared transfers to major resorts. Chaweng, Lamai, Choeng Mon, and the Big Buddha are all easily reachable. Major international car hire agencies have desks inside the arrival hall too.

For those heading to nearby islands, the airport is close to several piers. Ferries for Koh Phangan leave regularly from Bang Rak Pier and Maenam Pier.

Things to do in Ko Samui

Ko Samui is the main gateway for the Full Moon Party on Koh Phangan.

However, the island has plenty of its own distinct areas to explore. You will find quiet retreats, secluded beaches, and traditional fishing villages. The jungle interior offers a calm alternative to the busy resort strips. Different parts of the coast suit different types of stay. Upmarket resorts are mostly clustered around Bophut in the north. Mae Nam offers quieter stretches of beach and very clear water. Chaweng is the island's primary hub for nightlife and shopping. Nearby Lamai is slightly more relaxed but still close to the action. Local tip: try the night market at Bophut Fisherman’s Village on Fridays.
