Route data is updated regularly from official airline schedules. On-time performance data comes from recent airport delay snapshots.
Flight time is about 50 minutes to 1 hour. The distance is roughly 250 km across the southern Thai isthmus and the Gulf of Thailand. The flight goes from the Andaman coast to the Gulf coast.
Bangkok Airways operates this route. Koh Samui airport is privately owned by Bangkok Airways, so they control most access. Frequency varies seasonally, with more flights during the high season from December through April.
The overland-plus-ferry option involves a bus or minivan from Krabi to Surat Thani (2 to 3 hours) and then a ferry to Koh Samui (1.5 to 2.5 hours depending on the ferry type). Total travel time is 5 to 7 hours. Combined bus-ferry tickets are sold at travel agencies in Krabi town and Ao Nang.
Koh Samui Airport is open-air with thatched-roof buildings. It feels more like a resort than an airport. Bangkok Airways built and owns the facility. There are small shops and a lounge. The airport is on the northeast coast of the island, about 20 km from Chaweng Beach. Taxis and songthaews (shared trucks) wait outside arrivals.
The Andaman coast (Krabi) has its best weather from November through April. The Gulf coast (Koh Samui) has its driest months from January through April. November and December bring monsoon rain to Koh Samui while Krabi is dry. Crossing between coasts lets you follow the good weather, which is one reason this route exists.
Krabi to Koh Samui
Krabi to Koh Samui covers about 250 km with flights taking under 1 hour. Bangkok Airways operates the route, as Koh Samui's airport is a privately owned Bangkok Airways facility. The flight crosses southern Thailand from the Andaman Sea coast to the Gulf of Thailand, connecting two of the country's top beach destinations.
Flying is the fastest way between these two coasts. The alternative involves a bus to Surat Thani and a ferry onward, totaling 5 to 7 hours. The route is especially useful for travelers combining Andaman islands (Railay, Phi Phi) with Gulf islands (Koh Samui, Koh Phangan). The two coasts have different monsoon seasons, so island-hoppers can chase dry weather by timing this crossing right.
