How long does the drive take?
Samui Airport lies in the north-east of the island, right next to Bang Rak and close to Chaweng. Chaweng, Bang Rak, Bophut and Choeng Mon are ten to twenty minutes away, Maenam about twenty-five, Lamai about half an hour, and Nathon and the west coast forty-five minutes or a little more. The ring road has one lane each way, so midday and early evening run slower.
Where the driver meets you
Samui's terminal is small and open-air. After you have collected your luggage, take the escalator up to the meeting point on the second floor, in the outdoor area — the same for domestic and international arrivals. Your driver waits there.
On to Koh Phangan and Koh Tao
Koh Phangan and Koh Tao have no airport; both islands are reached through Samui. The combined transfer is a private car from the airport or your Samui hotel to the pier and a seat on the ferry, ticket included, as far as the arrival pier: ฿1,550 per person for two guests to Koh Phangan and ฿1,970 per person to Koh Tao. Plan the connection generously: be at the pier one hour before the ferry leaves, and for the way back we ask for at least five hours between the ferry's arrival and your flight, because ferries often run late. What to expect on Koh Tao is in Koh Tao and Koh Nang Yuan from Koh Samui.
Fast track and guide
At Samui Airport the fast-track service costs ฿1,440 per person, arriving or departing: you are met, taken through the immigration fast track and accompanied to baggage claim and your vehicle. An English-speaking guide for the drive is ฿960 per transfer and way; German or French is ฿1,680, on request.
How to book
Choose the route, the number of guests and the vehicle in the transfer planner, add your date, flight and hotel, and send the prepared WhatsApp message. We confirm in the chat, usually within a few hours. Book at least 72 hours ahead; a transfer cancelled 24 hours or less before pick-up is charged in full.
