The runway of Samui Airport (USM) is 2100 meters long.

 

A long range airplane, like B777 would need from 2,440 meter to 3,380 meter take off run at sea-level with MTOW (Max Take Off Weight). A B787 from 2,600 meter and an Airbus 330 needs 2,770 meter.

 

I can imagine that the length of the runway – and perhaps also weight – would limit a number of long-range destinations for direct charter flights.

Correct. Suitable only for narrow body aircraft, regional destinations. The charming terminal may lack facilities, ramp space and ground equipment to handle much else.
