How it works
Landed? Your driver is waiting
From the arrival hall at Samui airport to your beach on Koh Phangan, this is what happens once you have booked.
From the arrival hall to your driver
Schematic, not to scale
The buggy brings you to the arrival hall: follow the Baggage Claim signs
Collect your bags and leave the baggage hall
Not here
Exit A: hotel buses meet guests here and many people stop by mistake. Keep walking
Look for the “Meeting Point” signs and follow them
Walk on along the covered walkway, under the “Meeting Point” arrow
Meet here
Public meeting point: find your name sign
Car park: your private van
To our pier
Your arrival, step by step
-
You land at Samui airport
We track your flight from the moment you book and meet you whatever the delay. Tell us only if your flight changes; a message about a delay helps us, but there is no need to worry.
-
Message us on WhatsApp
The airport has free Wi-Fi, so WhatsApp is the easiest way to reach us when you land, even without a local SIM card.
Landing in the evening? We send you the contact of that day’s duty manager, who speaks fluent English and answers on the same WhatsApp number: message any time if you cannot find your driver.
-
Walk out to the public meeting point
Walk all the way out to the public meeting point, where many people hold signs for arriving guests. It is not the inside meeting spot kept for luxury-hotel pick-ups: our drivers cannot enter that area.
-
Find the sign with your name
Your driver waits at the airport’s public meeting point with a sign showing your name, or any name you choose.
-
Your private van to the pier
15 minutes by van from the airport to our pier near Big Buddha.
-
Board your own boat
Private transfers only: the boat and the vans carry your group alone, never other passengers.
-
Speedboat to Koh Phangan
By boat, 20 to 25 minutes to Haad Rin or Ban Tai and 45 to 50 minutes to Thong Nai Pan Yai, depending on the weather and your beach.
Staying at Thong Nai Pan, at Santhiya or another resort there? Our promo, a boat to Ban Tai and our van to your hotel, costs less than the direct boat to Thong Nai Pan pier and runs at any hour; the direct boat is for flights landing by 14:30.
We also run the vans on both islands, to your hotel, villa or Airbnb on Koh Samui and Koh Phangan: add them in the form and they are part of the same booking.
Before you travel
-
Our boats carry life jackets, and our crew is well trained.
-
RecommendedAt night or in rough weather we send two-engine boats first: they are steadier and more reliable in heavy rain, big waves or darkness, especially in the rainy season, and we strongly recommend them.
-
Prefer a one-engine boat? Book it and wait for our confirmation: we check the conditions first. If it is not advisable, you can pay a small extra fee on arrival to switch to a two-engine boat, or cancel for an immediate full refund.
-
One big suitcase per person is included. Each extra big suitcase is 200 THB: tell us in advance when you book.
-
A van seats up to 10 people but has no boot. Groups of 6 or more: tell us how many suitcases you have, as you may need an extra van for the bags or to split your group by road. The choice is yours.
-
Child car seats are available on request: mention it when you book.
-
An early or late fee of 1,500 THB is added when your flight lands, your pick-up starts or your boat leaves before 08:00, or at 17:30 or later.
-
Every fee in full
Suitcases, vans, early and late transfers: all in one table.
See all fees
-
The booking form asks for your flight number, landing time and hotel, so we have what we need to meet you, and we confirm your booking by email.
-
You pay on kohsanuk.com, our booking system, and choose at checkout: pay now, pay later once we confirm, or pay on the day.
-
Paying now, you pay the full price or a 50% deposit online, including a 4.1% online payment fee. By card, the amount is only held until we confirm your booking.
-
With a deposit, the rest is paid on the day in cash, or online before your trip.
-
No cash for the rest of the payment? Tell your manager or driver: the van stops at the nearest ATM at no extra charge.
-
We pick you up on Koh Phangan 3 hours before your flight from your hotel, 2.5 hours from the beach or pier, and 4 hours for the direct boat from Thong Nai Pan or Anantara.
-
Flying international? Choose an earlier pick-up.
