Koh Samui airport

I would say, Koh Samui's airport is very much an attraction in itself.

When we arrived, I could see the vast difference compared to other airports I had been to. It looked more like a resort or a high-end golf course (not that I have been to one, but I imagine...)A very welcoming ambience.

On the day of our departure, we drove over using our rented car and returned the car after dropping off our luggage.

Then a buggy drove us to the main gate after we completed our check in process.


It was a short journey through the little beautiful road on the above picture and if it wasn't drizzling, I would have loved to stroll it down myself instead of using the buggy. Doesn't it look like somewhere in a fairytale?



Hearsay, the airport is owned privately and that is why the airport tax is very high, hence normally the airfare is higher than other routes of the same distance. Not many airlines fly in too as they restrict them from overflowing the place? Well, could be wrong, as the source wasn't that reliable. (my hubs la, who else)

Free flow refreshments are served in the lounge. All the passengers are spoilt for choice with the beverages there. I wanted to drink more than 1 cup!

We were very much in a hurry for our flight(nothing new!) but luckily the flight was slightly delayed and we had a little extra time to indulge in the lovely surrounding.

And then, we were off! Yay! Couldn't wait to see the kids again, really missed them and they were to be at a daycare center from early in the morning till we arrive. That would be almost 12 hours straight and I was hurrying my hubs along. That concluded our very short getaway trip for the year 2011.
