Took a (35 Min) flight from Puket to Samui and arrived at the Bangkok Airways landing strip. The airport or shack is a bit of a joke but nonetheless it serves its purpose. Unfortunately, Bangkok Airways owns the landing strip, thus resulting in it being the only airlines that flies in and out of Samui.
Before we start our blog we have decided to state our must see's in Southern Thailand:
1. Koh Phangan (great beaches, undeveloped & really chilled out)
1a. Koh Lanta (great beaches, undeveloped & really chilled out)
2. Phi Phi Don/Ley (good beaches and naturally beautiful)
3. Krabi (naturally beautiful)
4. Phuket (great beaches, lots of lady boys if that's your thing)
5. Koh Tao (naturally beautiful, undeveloped)
Spent (2) nights at the Best Western Samui BayView Resort & Spa (Great views, but out of the way and lacking any sort of service). Moved on and spent (2) nights at Seaview Paradise Mountain (Extremely professional staff, great views, and Gary the owner is fantastic).
