Where to get a taxi at Koh Samui Airport

You can hop in a taxi at the Koh Samui Airport taxi stand for private vehicles, or you can walk two minutes further to the car park where the local taxis queue.

Taxis are the most comfortable way to get around, and most of the vehicles are clean, well-maintained, and air-conditioned.

However, you should keep in mind that the level of service you will receive from local drivers can vary. It is not the norm for drivers to speak fluent English and they can charge any price they want.

If you’d prefer the peace of mind that comes with knowing you will receive reliable service and fixed prices, you can book a taxi in advance with Welcome Pickups. Welcome offers 24/7 customer support, English-speaking drivers, and guaranteed on-time pickups from the moment you touch down on the runway.
