Yikes, they sure have a monopoly on the USM market!  4100THB one way at the end of January. Irksome when just about any other domestic flight in Thailand can be found for 1/4 that (including Bangkok-URT).  Any experienced fliers have thoughts on whether there'll be an upcoming sale for flights to Samui for late Jan/early Feb, or other suggestions?  Thanks!

A cheaper option is to book the bus and ferry combo at FerrySamui. I've done this last year and all was good. I don't mind the travel time as paying for this combo for 800 THB during the high season is already very cheap. That is, if the 12-hour travel time is fine with you.

Airasia has a bus, ferry, flight combo for 300 baht more if you book early.

Anyone know if having a Thai IP address affects pricing? I got the web-promo fare, but it's still 3500b one-way BKK-USM (not 1890 as posted above). May be my selected date of Jan 28. Thanks everyone

Yes you need to log on from a Thai IP to reach the promolink. Other IP addresses then from Thailand will result in a faultmessage.

Correct, if not Frequent Flyer Card-holder, you'll need to rest your case until Monday 27th, as also stated in Tropicalevo's post...:smile:

I'm in BKK now. Booked a flight to Samui for 2000 baht over the phone on my way to the airport and boarding in 1 hour.

Residence Card privileges lol.

 

That is Resident Card-holder's normal all-year-round price from Bangkok to Samui, Early Bird and Late Night are even cheaper...:smile:

Normally it's 2750 during the day. Probably low season now so it's 2000 baht all day.

But anyways, booking a cheap direct flight to Samui right before I get into the airport is bliss.

About a week ago I booked day flight BKK-USM June 1st (next year) on my resident card for 2,000 baht per ticket.

Yes - the big sale prices are not available from outside Thailand (only if you use a VPN). Makes a considerable difference. Sale is for 27 Nov till End april so should not be the date.

I don't think it has to do with IP-address, as it reserved for Frequent Flyers (worldwide) first, and from 27th November available for anybody else, for a limited booking period...

I tried before from Europe and other Asian countries and got message that the offer was only available from inside Thailand (once I used VPN it was fine). Unless they have changed this I don't think u can get the really cheap prices without a workaround

I think you, user "ethaniel", are correct with the 2750 baht for a fully priced ticket – seem like I was out that far in advance, that I probably got a "Resident"-discount on an early-booking price, as the full price for a day-flight BKK-USM was shown as around 3800 baht, and I only paid 2000 baht all inclusive...:smile:

Normally, in high season, the 2000 baht price is available for super-early flights (like 7am). I would recommend asking the call center agent to advise you on the best time to fly.

Thanks. I know about early bird and late evening, have used them many times over the years...:smile:
