I agree it's by far the best airport I have ever been in! It was nice even before the recent revamp.

 

and the worst, tashkent in Uzbeckistan.

Class: Agreed, kinda like Kauai, but better. Bangkok Air built it so they have a virtual monopoly. I'd rather it was a shithole and they let Air Asia & Nok use it. A frigging $100 for a half hr flight. It makes a quick pop down to KS expensive. Sometimes I take AA to Surat Thani and the boat to KS. It saves about $70 and the ferry's a nice ride. wj

i have been to samai wice now and i have to agree with you it is the best airport in the world. you can see whats happening to your luggage when it arrives off the plane and the carosel is probably the smallest i have ever seen. Mind you looking at the Thai girls while you wait certainly makes the senery more impressive.

 

having said all that i find it a very efficient airport. On my last trip there they had my luggage and i never saw it again until Manchester. well impressed considering on the way out they lost my wifes case at Doha airport. considering we were on our honeymoon also she was not impressed however i soon took her shopping and she was happy again.

 

for those people who have not seen the airport it's worth a trip down to samui anyway just to look at the beaches. however it very quiet compared to pattaya.

 

Don't let commercialisation spoil this airport and keep it the way it is please.

I can resist everything but temptation!

I think it is the most beautiful airport in the world. I spent an overnight in Samui in December when the insurrectionist fuckers shut down BKK. It is beautiful and soothing to arrive at and to leave. You experience none of the stress that usually accompanies an airport experience. They have done a great job.

They've improved it a lot since 2000 ! It is amusing to see your baggage being collected by tractor.

 

I also remember Phuket airport as a giant centipede fell out of the roof! Everyone ran away except for one security guard who kicked it outside.

Gotta agree with you there! I grew up 10 minutes from Lihue Airport, and i have to say i feel right at home when i fly through Koh Samui.

For help or advice with Vehicle Inspections and Repair anywhere in Thailand, send me a PM!

Its a great little airport, even better now since the upgrade.

Free food, drink & internet. Also the departure lounges are really relaxing

& the toilets are so clean & modern.
