How to get to Samui

There are no direct flights from Russia to Koh Samui, so Koh Samui is not the most convenient and cheap place from the point of view of getting here. Complicated by the fact that Samui does not fly Thai loukosty and Asian loukost AirAsia.

Only Bangkok Airways flies to Samui airport - a decent Thai airline with indecently high prices for tickets in Asia. One way ticket to Bangkok-Samui will cost $ 90-100.
