"Who Goes There" wgt@nowhere kirjoitti viestissä ... In , One last question for the seasoned Samui traveller :-) How easy is it for me to get from the Big Buddha Beach area to Chaweng Beach area for 7.30 a.m.? I found a diving school with good references but it's the other side of the island and I'm unsure about taxis and the like. If I The two places are about 5-7 kilometers apart from each others. No worries. You can ride a songtaew (a sort of pickup taxi) or a hired motorbike.

Just curious - how easy is it to organise for a flight from Jakarta to Samui? It should be just as easy to arrange as any other set of flights. However, Bangkok Airways has a monopoly to fly to Samui. They have (at least for some dates) only one flight a day from Singapore and dozens of them from Bangkok. Bangkok Air has a monopoly to fly to Samui?? I flew there on Malayasian. On which flight? I don't remember now, it was a couple of years ago, but I arrived on Koh Samui around 11:30 pm, out of Singapore.

First of all I want to say that Bangkok Airways DO have a monopoly over operations on Samui. In a case flights have been allotted to other companies does not contradict with the fact. If you skimmed timetables of the Malaysian Airways or Amadeus, you wouldn't find regular Malaysian flights toSamui. There are two weekly flights from KL to Samui by a company called Berjaya Air (on Thursdays and on Sundays).

Perhaps what I should have said in my first post was to ask this question: When did Bangkok Air get the monopoly? Like I said, it was a couple of years ago that I flew on Malaysia Air out of Singapore. Apparently, things have changed. Too bad.

Well, that doesn't make any sense then. I definitely did not arrive in Koh Samui on Bangkok Air. Like I said, it was a couple of years ago that I flew on Malaysia Air out of Singapore. Apparently, things have changed. Too bad. It doesn' matter. It doesn't matter to you.

As I said befo that some flights are operated by companies other than Bangkok Airways is not anyhow contradictory to the fact that Bangkok Airways has a monopoly on the Samui Airport operations. They OWN the airport.

I've used ATMs in Thailand for the last 2 years, and my bank (LloydsTSB) charges =A32.50 . . . . Maybe you should look at changing your bank? Suggest you both change banks. My bank absorbs any ATM fees from other banks. I pay nothing. I've used Thai ATMs for a decade and never paid a cent in fees.
