Looks like they renamed the "thanks fares" to "Summer Fly" still 2750 including tax for a one way ticket from Samui to Bangkok. 2100 to Pattaya.

I have done both - so they are flexible if they feel like it !

5,500 Baht per person return plus some taxi fare....must need to be cheaper even more if Samui wants tourists. I love Samui but is so expensive to come there or so long on the bus or drive our car. Must be only 1,200 Baht and maybe then will think to come more often.

Look up the air fares to and from LAX to PHX.

It's about the same distance or time, and perhaps not strangely, about the same cost.

Bangkok Air seems expensive by Asian standards, and it is, but for the rest of the civilized world, it's nothing special.

But I live in Asia not Europe also I can fly to Phuket return for under 2,000 Baht....Bangkok Air must do the same for Samui as many people will not go there because of that. I love Samui and many times want to come and see friends but is too expensive and the bus too long from Bangkok so I not go......as many people do not go. This airfare must change now to help Samui or more business will close because of them.

agree ..................

Plain and simple, Samui is a cash cow for PG. They can charge high fares as there is no real competition. Well, very little anyway.
