Samui International Airport

Ko Samui, Thailand · Asia-Pacific

Bangkok Airways’ private open-air resort gateway a short hop from Chaweng — charming pavilion campus and live Blue Ribbon access on both sides, offset by Courtesy Corner rather than a full Economy Boutique, a short usable runway, PG-heavy schedules, premium fares, and weather- plus slot-capped ops.
