Koh Samui to Bangkok or Phuket during New year
score:5
Accepted answer
The prices you're seeing are very high due to a combination of factors:
- Being a holiday both locally and around the world, plus the best season in terms of weather for much of the country, New Year's is absolute peak season across Thailand and Samui is a very popular tourist destination.
- Samui is a small airport and Bangkok Airways has an effective monopoly on flights, so prices are always higher than most Thai domestic routes.
- The specific 18,000-baht itinerary you're seeing on Jan 2nd is not a direct flight, but a connection via Chiang Mai in the far north of the country, so you're paying for two separate long flights instead of a quick hop.
If you're not happy with what Bangkok Airways is charging, your alternative is to cross over to the mainland by ferry (~90 min) and either continue to Bangkok by cheap domestic flight from any of Surat Thani, Nakhon Si Thammarat or Chumphon, or take a cheap bus across to Phuket. Wikivoyage has the full scoop.
