Bangkok Airways | Samui Unlocked

Bangkok Airways

Bangkok Airways is one of the main airlines connecting Koh Samui with Bangkok and other destinations across Thailand and Asia. For many visitors, the journey to Samui starts with one of its distinctive aircraft touching down at the island’s open-air airport before passengers are transferred across the terminal by tram.

From Samui, the airline operates direct domestic services to destinations including Bangkok, Phuket, Krabi, Chiang Mai and U-Tapao, with international connections including Singapore and Hong Kong appearing across its current route network. Through-check arrangements with a long list of international airlines also make it possible for many passengers to connect to Samui on a single itinerary.

Bangkok Airways positions itself as a boutique airline rather than a low-cost carrier. Economy passengers receive a checked baggage allowance, meals or refreshments are served on flights, and selected airports provide complimentary Boutique Lounge access with snacks, drinks and Wi-Fi. Blue Ribbon passengers have access to upgraded lounges and additional services.

Online check-in opens 24 hours before departure, while self-service kiosks are also available at Samui Airport. Tickets, seat management, additional baggage and flight changes can all be handled through the Bangkok Airways website and mobile app.
