New Phuket to Samui flights mean easy access to the Gulf of Thailand for Khao Lak!

This makes getting from Koh Tao to Khao Lak much easier. Before it was long transit times or the horrible overnight boat. Now it's getting to Samui, jumping the plane and we are less than an hour from the airport!

The flights will leave Samui at 15:10 & 18:10. That's plenty of time to get down to the airport from Koh Tao!

Here's the story....

Bangkok Airways will increase frequency on its Bangkok-Phuket and Phuket-Samui routes during the high season with a new schedule that starts on October 26, the carrier has announced.

For the Bangkok-Phuket route, flights will leave Suvarnabhumi Airport at 8.10 am, 11.45 am and 5:30 pm. Flight time is just under 1.5 hours.

For its Phuket-Samui route, flights will leave Phuket at 9.35 am, 1.45 pm and 4.35 pm.

The Bangkok-Phuket and Bangkok-Samui flights will cost 2,240 baht and 1,900 baht, respectively, exclusive of airport taxes, insurance and fuel surcharge

In addition, the carrier last month launched a new “Web Check-In” service for passengers traveling from its key domestic routes. The service enables passengers to check-in online and select a seat as early as 24 hours before departure.

Passengers may print out a boarding pass and bring it to the designated counter for quick ID verification and baggage check, if needed.

The airline will initially offer Web Check-In service to passengers who fly from Bangkok, Samui and Phuket to other domestic destinations, and will apply this service to its other destinations in the near future, it announced in a press release.
