[2025 Koh Samui Airports] Travel Guide for Samui International Airport (Updated Mar)

#2024 Travel Review Samui may be one of your destinations during the Christmas holiday ◦ Hong Kong has a daily direct flight, Bangkok Airway funded USM Samui airport, the first privately built airport in Thailand. So only Bangkok Airways does monopoly business, Sukhothai Airport is the same. Samui Airport may not be the best airport in the world, but it is very distinctive. Continuing the characteristic of Koh Samui thatched huts, brown trees, wooden and rattan walls integrated into the terminal building and combined with the surrounding coconut garden landscape, it is so beautiful that it can be used as an attraction. The airport is less electronic, but adopts low-density shops restaurants, semi-open-air ventilation way to build, even going to the airport feels comfortable and relaxed, feeling the holiday is not over. When you enter the waiting room there is a garden and a free lounge, drinks and snacks are all you can eat.

Samui Airport is unlike any other airport I’ve visited—it’s truly adorable and full of character! From the moment you arrive, you’re greeted by lush greenery, vibrant plants and flowers, and an open-air design that blends seamlessly with the island’s tropical vibe. One of the most unique aspects is how close you can see planes land and take off. The open layout allows you to watch the action up close, making it an exciting experience, especially for aviation enthusiasts or families with kids. Despite its small size, the airport is efficient and well-organized. The staff is friendly, and the facilities are clean and comfortable. The relaxed, tropical atmosphere makes traveling through here feel more like part of your vacation than just a transit point. Samui Airport is a delightful little gem that perfectly captures the island’s charm. It’s easily one of the most memorable airports you’ll ever visit! #voyagevibes #airport #samui

The Samui Island Airport Lounge features the Blue Ribbon Lounge by Bangkok Airways. It is also accessible with a Priority Pass. There is a self-service hot drink corner and soft drinks available from the refrigerator. Light snacks such as sandwiches and muffins are available, and it was interesting to see dim sum as well. The shumai was surprisingly delicious. I later realized that alcoholic drinks were available upon request, and I deeply regretted not ordering any (lol). If I have the chance to visit again, I definitely want to order some alcohol next time.

#weekendgetaways Those who have flown out from Koh Samui will tell you how unusual their airport is. Other than the waiting areas at the boarding gates, everything else feels like a mall in a holiday resort sprawled mainly outdoors. Their alternative waiting areas are outdoors too! Lounge chairs under beach huts. Clearly, there are people who haven’t gotten enough of the sun and want to soak in some final rays before getting on a cold plane. #kohsamui #airport #resortstyle #outdoorspace #samuiinternationalairport

Samui Airport, officially opened in 1989, is one of Thailand's best airports. Although small and serving mostly domestic routes with a couple of international ones, it is the most stress-free airport most people have been to. Upon checking in and dropping your bags, you'll notice the whole airport is open-air - cooling, refreshing. It offers many outdoor areas for relaxation! To get to your gate, you'll need to walk through an avenue offering many dining and shopping options. Expect gelato shops, international cuisines, and bars. The prices are affordable too. I was blown away by the boarding gates - they were neat and compact, with lounge chairs and sofas. They even have charging stations! The experience from check in to arriving at the boarding gate was extremely fast - about 15 minutes. 100% stress-free, no crowds, and smiling staff all around. I recommend coming about an hour earlier before your flight at Samui Airport to explore its surroundings - quaint, beautiful, and refreshing! Fun fact: it is the first airport in Thailand to receive Carbon Footprint label from Thailand Greenhouse Gas Management Organization! #thailand #samui #airport

First time I was at this airport like this. Amazing and easy ways to the gate

ဒီနေရာ ဟာ အရမ်းပျော်ဖို့ကောင်းသောနေရာဖြစ်သည် လူတိုင်းပျော်ပျော်နေရင် ကမ္ဘာကြီးအေးချမ်းနေပီ

1. Enjoy the beauty of the beaches, whose colors change depending on the light 2. See the blooming lotuses 3. See one or two mummified monks 4. Explore the sculpture park, an abandoned place in the mountains 5. Climb the Lamai and Overlap Stone viewpoints 6. Indulge in coconut and coconut ice cream at the Grandmother and Grandfather rocks And finally, enjoy the most chill airport in the world, which has no walls, and you can watch the takeoff and landing while swinging on swings or sitting in a chair in the sun

Nice small lounge at koh samui airport. A few sandwiches, dim sum and made to order noodles along with cookies etc. beer and wine available on request. Nice to chill before the flight in air conditioning.

Great little airport

Samui International Airport IATA code: USM ICAO code: VTSM It is a private airport on Samui Island in Thailand, about 2 kilometers north of Chaweng To be honest, this environment is much better than the community park at home Fully open architecture Lazy and comfortable feeling If it weren't for the security check and the occasional plane flying overhead, I would really think I was in a scenic spot To be honest, this small airport on Samui Island is really good

I have flown to Samui many times and I am always impressed. The airport is great and has won world-class environmental awards. This is the most beautiful airport of Bangkok Airways. I like to check in early to see the atmosphere around the passenger terminal building. It is designed as an open-air tropical style, inspired by coconut trees, which are an important economic plant of Samui... ...While sipping coffee, drinks and snacks while waiting for the plane...I thought to myself, "Is this an airport or a resort?" There is a lawn, swings, flower gardens, lotus ponds... The runway has a beautiful mountain backdrop when the planes take off and land. After watching a few planes take off and land, it is time to board the plane (is the clock running faster than usual?) Next time you fly to Samui, leave plenty of time because in addition to the beautiful garden and free lounge, there are also restaurants, drinks, souvenirs and souvenirs waiting for you...it is truly a boutique airport.
