I have to agree, Bangkok Airways is the best airline in the world, that operates flight to Samui.

Now we know what the folk with 1000000 or so sim cards were doing.

I think the airport is appallingly bad.

After checking in it is a long walk or ride to the departure lounges and on arrival it is a long walk slightly uphill to the pickup / meeting area. It seems to have been built "back to front".

No official taxi's available at arrivals, no coffee or snacks for those waiting to greet guests. No Wifi in the arrivals area. The electronic arrivals board is often not updated when aircraft have landed.

Parking fees are exhortation.  The duty free shop has to be one of the worst and most expensive I have ever visited in any International Airport. Delayed departures and arrivals are not advised or apologies made. The brochure rack in the arrival area is usually only half filled and most brochures have been spread around and duplicated. I think the layout is very badly planned and the operation very poorly managed.

No serious source.

The only thing I find is that

Year 2016 and BKK Air is not better than THAI.

Maybe the 2017 ranking will be published later?

Comparing Samui to local airport in outback Mongolia does show that Samui is best in world! Duh.

 

Cynical remark, for those who do not have English as their first language.
