How to get there

By air

Samui International Airport is about 30 minutes’ drive away. Most visitors to Koh Samui, whether domestic or international, will reach the island by air. As part of our service we will collect you from your flight, providing you provide your flight number and time of arrival.

Bangkok Airways own the private airport on the island and operate flights from Bangkok every thirty minutes from early morning until 9pm. With a flight time of just 45 minutes, it is but a short hop! Bangkok Airways also operate direct flights from other cities within Thailand, as well as international locations such as Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia and China. Check the schedule on Bangkok Airways website for details.

By road & ferry

If driving through Thailand then head for the small port of Donsak on the southeast coast about 70km from Surat Thani. There are two car ferry services operating from here, with crossings to/from Koh Samui every hour between dawn and dusk.

Visas

Thailand does not require visas for most European, North American, Australasian or ASEAN nationals if travelling for the purposes of tourism. It is best though to be sure and if travelling from overseas we advise you to first check with your travel agent or nearest Thai Consulate before beginning your journey.

Getting around

We would recommend car hire during your stay, although it is possible to flag down the local "pick-up “Tuc-tuc” taxis" that frequently pass the entrance. Should you choose to drive an international driving license should be used. International car hire companies such as Hertz and Avis are present at the airport. Banyan Villas can also arrange car hire for you. Regular Taxis are available and can be ordered to the villa or mini buses for larger parties.
