A London-based couple were amazed by the remarkable architecture of an airport in Thailand. They shared their experience on TikTok under their shared account, @dcandkd. Their video, posted on March 26th, has garnered a significant number of views, currently standing at 146,900.

 

The couple, 32-year-old content creator and songwriter Daniel, along with 27-year-old content creator and dancer Nakita, recorded their time at Koh Samui Airport. This airport, located on Thailand's east coast, absolutely astounded them. After spending two weeks on the island, they were heading to Bangkok and then back to London when they noticed the unique features of the airport.

 

Their video showed an unusual airport, filled with green foliage, providing a relaxing environment for passengers on bean bags, sun loungers, and outdoor café tables.

 

In the video, Daniel says, "Arriving in Koh Samui, you don't see the airport's beauty in as much detail as when you leave it. After checking in our luggage, we were struck by how stunning it was, with everything being outdoors."

 

What left the biggest impression on the couple was the open-air setting and a scenic lake inside the departure area. They had never seen an airport designed like this, resembling a hotel resort.

 

Nakita captured more unique features in the video, such as spots with bean bags amidst trees, outdoor café tables, a pathway surrounded by trees, and a quaint lake filled with lily pads. Daniel was visibly impressed.

 

He described it as being, "Incredibly beautiful, it's like being in a hotel resort. This is the first time I've seen an airport like this".

 

The cleanliness of the airport, the variety of shops, and the calm atmosphere particularly impressed them. They said, "You could unwind there the whole day. The ambiance is so calming that it doesn't feel like you're traveling. You're picked up in a buggy and transported to the plane, which was also spacious and clean."

The original airport was a tad more rustic, but could not handle today's passenger count.

 

From 2006 (Yes, it's a stock photo.)

I guess they don't get out much.

Easily pleased ! 🙄

I wish I was a 'content creator and dancer'. I would create soothing scenes around me and pas de deux with my wife into the sunset......🤗

Thank you, because I'm glad to see that you found a small pile for good tourist promotion, instead of sharing the real stuff piled up on the Ring Road...

Easy peasy, you should consider opening a TikTok-profile and also share the stuff here in this forum, so we can follow your success...

Yes, the old terminal was charming, but way too small to handle the increasing tourism and arrivals in general.

These days I am mostly impressed with how long they manage to close the automated walkway for maintenance. It is coming to 4 years now which is just mind boggling 

I really enjoy the 5min walk in scorching sun from check in to the gates,
