can forum members advise me of the best way to get to samui from bkk, i would prefer to fly to prevent too much time being wasted on travelling there....it would be a return trip the otehr alternative is it better to fly bkk to phuket and then go to samui from phuket..........all suggestions welcome being land option as well

i apologise in advance if this topic has been covered before, however i havent been able to find it anywhere.

cheers

Flying is the best and quickest way, but not the cheapest. Bangkok Airways has maybe a dozen flights every day to Samui and back from Bangkok. Thai Airways has 2 a day. Both about the same price.

Nok Air flies to Surat Thani and connects with a bus and ferry to Samui for a lot less. But takes a lot longer.

You can also get a bus. Costs less still. But takes even longer.

Walking would take forever.

You could take the overnight train as well. It depends upon your time availability.

Personally I prefer to fly even given the extra and somewhat ridiculous fares.

Bangkok Airways. Expensive!

If only you could move the OP down then he'd have an easy answer....

BKK Airways, everyday, about the same price as London-NY
