Samui Airport

This is the coolest airport ever seen. Totally different from all airports. Although its small in size, doesn't have a lot of tourists coming. But still very cool and chilled out vibes. The only disadvantage is in summers the lack of AC can trouble the visitors. Also, the bathrooms are not very clean as per airport standards.

My Review of Koh Samui Airport (04/01/2026) Samui International Airport is a wonderful and small yet beautiful airport. I really loved the infrastructure — it feels more like a tropical resort than an airport. The open design, greenery, and relaxed atmosphere make the whole experience very pleasant. The check-in process was quick, and the staff were very kind and welcoming. Overall, it’s one of the most unique and charming airports I’ve visited. Traveling through this airport feels calm and enjoyable rather than stressful.

One of the most unique airports I’ve seen. Instead of the typical closed terminals, everything is open-air and surrounded by tropical gardens, which makes the whole place feel more like a resort than an airport. The airport is quite small but very well organized. Check-in, security, and boarding are usually quick and efficient, which makes the whole experience very smooth. There are also some small shops and places to grab a drink or a snack while waiting for your flight. Overall, a very pleasant airport experience and a great way to start or finish your trip to Koh Samui. Definitely one of the most charming airports in Thailand.

Interesting airport that has an amusement park feel whereby the moment you disembark the plane, those trams will come pick you. But it's nice to have unblock view of the runway and planes taking off in clear sight. Airport signages however were rather lacking and for the first time coming, had a lot of guessing where to go to

Gorgeous airport. Beautiful views but runway short so planes stop and take off fast and steep. Easy going and well managed..walk outside and just walk 2 mins up to road and most grabs and taxis available on main road by 7 11. Literally 30 seconds out the airport onto a small road. Easy to walk out. Don't stress.

Despite being quite small, it’s incredibly well designed and feels very cozy and relaxed. The open-air layout, tropical scenery, and thoughtful architecture make the whole experience feel more like a resort than an airport. Everything is very walkable, so getting around is effortless and stress-free. The shops are cute and unique, and it’s actually a really nice place to arrive early and spend some time walking around, browsing, and enjoying the atmosphere. Instead of rushing through, you can genuinely enjoy being there. Overall, an amazing airport that perfectly reflects the charm of Koh Samui. A great first and last impression of the island

One of the most beautiful airports I have ever seen. The entire airport is open-air with palm trees, wooden structures, and a relaxed tropical atmosphere. It feels more like a small resort than an airport. Check-in and security were smooth and well organized. A perfect start or end to a trip to Koh Samui.

The Most Beautiful Airport in the World. Period. I've been through countless airports, and Koh Samui is hands down the best I've ever experienced. This place completely redefines what an airport can be. Instead of sterile terminals and artificial lighting, you get open air design that feels like a tropical village. The whole terminal is open - no walls, just shade and streets lined with coffee shops. It feels more like a beach resort than an airport. Walking to your plane means strolling across well maintained grounds under the open sky. No claustrophobic jetways, no endless corridors. The aircraft park right there on the grass-lined tarmac, and the whole experience has this wonderfully relaxed, almost nostalgic vibe. The staff are genuinely friendly and unhurried. There's no stress, no rushing. Even going through security feels weirdly pleasant in this tropical paradise setting. Bangkok Airways absolutely nailed it with this design. They proved that airports don't have to be concrete boxes and can be beautiful, calming spaces that actually make travel enjoyable rather than something to endure.
