  • Did you know you can fly from Pattaya to Koh samui with Bangkok Airlines. Its Fast, efficient, and no need to go all the way to Bangkok. It takes 45 mins from Pattaya in a taxi, and just around an hour flying time.
    Ko Samui, one of Thailand’s largest islands in the Gulf of Thailand, is known for its palm-fringed beaches circling coconut groves and dense, mountainous rainforest. It’s also home to luxury resorts, posh spas and a rowdy nightlife scene that often attracts a backpacker crowd. The 12m-tall golden Big Buddha statue at Wat Phra Yai temple is a local landmark.
    Lots of Samui movies on the way, so be sure to subscribe

    I've flown into U-Tapao a couple of times from Phuket... the first time the Thai army were filming everybody getting off the plane. Im sure Russian charter flights use this airport as well. Bangkok Airways are a great airline...them ATRs are a really safe aircraft and can easily fly on one engine and could you imagine BA dishing out that kind of meal on a one hour flight and giving you a free lounge for all its passengers to use...Bangkok Airways certainly know how to treat their customers.

    3 star hotels are always a crap shoot. I find it's about 50/50. Sometime you score & sometimes you're shafted. A tip if you haven't booked a Pattya Hotel, is to tell your taxi man to take you to several "NEW" Hotels. Frequently these have not all the Hotel Booking Plans connected. They may provide massive discounts, just to get people into the rooms. This has worked for me several times.

    Easy peasy...that's the way to get to Samui from Pattaya. Are there flights to Phuket as well?

    Rather amusing people making comments about the plane. Guess they haven't flown around much. It's a turboprop. Uses jet engines. I've flown in lot's of them. Flew from Bangkok to Siem Riep, Cambodia in one and flew them from Manila to Boracay. A lot of the smaller regional airports don't have the volume of passengers or the runways to handle bigger aircraft like 737's and such. They are comfortable and safe. If you do any hopping about with smaller airlines you will ride in one.
