Exploring the unique Samui Airport ✈️

Samui Airport, officially opened in 1989, is one of Thailand's best airports. Although small and serving mostly domestic routes with a couple of international ones, it is the most stress-free airport most people have been to. Upon checking in and dropping your bags, you'll notice the whole airport is open-air - cooling, refreshing. It offers many outdoor areas for relaxation! To get to your gate, you'll need to walk through an avenue offering many dining and shopping options. Expect gelato shops, international cuisines, and bars. The prices are affordable too. I was blown away by the boarding gates - they were neat and compact, with lounge chairs and sofas. They even have charging stations! The experience from check in to arriving at the boarding gate was extremely fast - about 15 minutes. 100% stress-free, no crowds, and smiling staff all around. I recommend coming about an hour earlier before your flight at Samui Airport to explore its surroundings - quaint, beautiful, and refreshing! Fun fact: it is the first airport in Thailand to receive Carbon Footprint label from Thailand Greenhouse Gas Management Organization! #thailand #samui #airport
