Razzler1973 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Quick question. Is anything going on with Surat Thani airport atm? I have a Nok Air flight that goes to Nakorn Sri Thammarat and then coach to Surat and ferry. I have flown using Nok Air before to Koh Pha Ngan and used Surat Thani airport. When I was booking I tried a few days either side and it seems all their flights were to Nakorn Sri Thammarat. Anything stopping them using Surat right now or just Nok Air chucking the Samui, Pha Ngan and Nakorn Sri Thammarat routes all in together. I actually don't mind as leaving the island is now on the mid day ferry and then coach and flight up to BKK whereas previously from Surat Thani for a 4pm flight I'd need to be on that early morning ferry for some reason. Always annoyed me that :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notmyself Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Most of the time it's faster to get to/from Nakhon than Surat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoorSucker Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Nok air has a combined flight-catamaran ferry in cooperation with lompraya. You can book direct to Samui or Koh Phangan, no need to take coach to Surat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islandguy Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 What is Nok's safety record like compared to their competition flying out of Surat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John 1 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 What is Nok's safety record like compared to their competition flying out of Surat? I would say OK, better than Thai Airways who already have had a aircraft crash at Surat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Previously this involved taking the flight to/from Surat and then coach from airport to ferry and off you go but this time I booked we are not flying to Surat but to Nakorn Sri Thammarat instead, which I found odd and then from there to Surat ferry and off we go. Just wondered if there was a reason for this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
