There is only one airport on the island of Koh Samui in Thailand, the award-winning Samui International Airport. When it comes to traveling to this slice of paradise, you have three ways to get from Koh Samui Airport to Chaweng; taxi, private transfer, or a shared minivan bus.
If you opt for a Koh Samui Airport taxi or private Koh Samui Airport transfer, you’ll reach your hotel in Chaweng Beach in just 10 minutes. While more expensive than a shared shuttle service, both options are still relatively affordable.
The shared minivan service is the cheapest option for solo travelers but will take closer to 20 minutes to reach the shores of Chaweng. Like a taxi and airport transfer service, the bus also drops passengers at the door of their hotel, although luggage space is limited.
Welcome Pickups offers meet and greet services and a friendly introduction to Koh Samui at the same price as a regular taxi. Click here to see the cost.
