Introducing the Samui Island Airport Lounge
The Samui Island Airport Lounge features the Blue Ribbon Lounge by Bangkok Airways.
It is also accessible with a Priority Pass.
There is a self-service hot drink corner and soft drinks available from the refrigerator.
Light snacks such as sandwiches and muffins are available, and it was interesting to see dim sum as well. The shumai was surprisingly delicious.
I later realized that alcoholic drinks were available upon request, and I deeply regretted not ordering any (lol).
If I have the chance to visit again, I definitely want to order some alcohol next time.

Resort-style Airport…
#weekendgetaways
Those who have flown out from Koh Samui will tell you how unusual their airport is. Other than the waiting areas at the boarding gates, everything else feels like a mall in a holiday resort sprawled mainly outdoors.
Their alternative waiting areas are outdoors too! Lounge chairs under beach huts. Clearly, there are people who haven’t gotten enough of the sun and want to soak in some final rays before getting on a cold plane.

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!

The Cutest Little Airport You’ll Ever Experience is in Samui!
Samui Airport is unlike any other airport I’ve visited—it’s truly adorable and full of character! From the moment you arrive, you’re greeted by lush greenery, vibrant plants and flowers, and an open-air design that blends seamlessly with the island’s tropical vibe.
One of the most unique aspects is how close you can see planes land and take off. The open layout allows you to watch the action up close, making it an exciting experience, especially for aviation enthusiasts or families with kids.
Despite its small size, the airport is efficient and well-organized. The staff is friendly, and the facilities are clean and comfortable. The relaxed, tropical atmosphere makes traveling through here feel more like part of your vacation than just a transit point.
Samui Airport is a delightful little gem that perfectly captures the island’s charm. It’s easily one of the most memorable airports you’ll ever visit!

Airport coordinates | Samui International Airport USM
Samui International Airport
IATA code: USM
ICAO code: VTSM
It is a private airport on Samui Island in Thailand, about 2 kilometers north of Chaweng
To be honest, this environment is much better than the community park at home
Fully open architecture
Lazy and comfortable feeling
If it weren't for the security check and the occasional plane flying overhead, I would really think I was in a scenic spot
To be honest, this small airport on Samui Island is really good
I have flown to Samui many times and I am always impressed. The airport is great and has won world-class environmental awards. This is the most beautiful airport of Bangkok Airways.
I like to check in early to see the atmosphere around the passenger terminal building. It is designed as an open-air tropical style, inspired by coconut trees, which are an important economic plant of Samui...
...While sipping coffee, drinks and snacks while waiting for the plane...I thought to myself, "Is this an airport or a resort?" There is a lawn, swings, flower gardens, lotus ponds... The runway has a beautiful mountain backdrop when the planes take off and land.
After watching a few planes take off and land, it is time to board the plane (is the clock running faster than usual?)
Next time you fly to Samui, leave plenty of time because in addition to the beautiful garden and free lounge, there are also restaurants, drinks, souvenirs and souvenirs waiting for you...it is truly a boutique airport.
