womble Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 is the K Pha Ngan airport really coming.who is gonna own it coz a boat to KPN then a cheap flight would hurt them bad i thinks Personally i'll be taking the ferry to Donsak and flying from donsak. Even if it only saves me a small amount i'll do it out of principle........... Talking to local Samui Thai's and other influential Thai's with business here, I don't think they will let them get away with it, were certainly not happy about a rise in price before when it was anounced, and speaking to a couple of Thai mates today, after the bombs in bangkok, the last thing they are hoping for is rises in costs for tourists coming to samui. Monopolies are bad news........ It will damage the island if they are raised above what they are now. Especially when fuel prices are falling. Their excuses are lame, every other airline had costs asociated with moving airports, they are not raising prices so much, this is pure greed. Samui - Bangkok route is already hugely profitable, now they want to use their monopoly to squeeze even more out of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limbos Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Womble, That's not correct. I've talked to influential local Samuians and they think there's nothing wrong with BKK Airways raisinf their prices (on selected seats) since they haven't raised the rates for a long time. Maybe we can get the old 'why don't they take care of the Taxi Meter mobsters first' discussion going instead. BTW, Donsak doesn't have an airport, but a little bit outside of Surat Thani there's one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure local samuians like anyone else have varied opinions on the matter, the ones I spoke to were not happy with fare increases..... I'm sure if you spoke to a local who owned stock in Bkk Air they would be thrilled. Yes lets start the taxi mob thread again.......... I love letting off steam on that one.

mark lamai Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 it is such a ripoff. round trip flights. Air Asia - Suratthani -Bkk - Total Cost of Flight 2,886.86 THB bangkok airways - Samui-Bkk - M fare Total THB 7,490 " " 2500 promotion fare 6:30 am Total THB 5,920 flying distance cant be that much further, and they have the gall to charge 400B departure tax. a monopoly in a free market economy is a businessman's wet dream.
