Let's say you couldn't walk it! See above.

how easy are transfers from samui to your hotel?
15 minutes - 1 hour (max). Most popular hotels very close to airport.

Samui is great!

Hi
we love samui and would not return to phuket as it is very commercialized now.
Flying to samui is easy with bangkok airways have hourly flights. Transfers from the airport are easy, you can pre book via your hotel.... which is expensive, or haggle with a thai man at the airport..... much more fun.
We do the latter..... walk away from the terminal and haggle with a non airport taxi guy.
i am really jealous as so far it is my most favourite place we have ever visited.
We stay in the amari palm reef resort in Chewang beach...... just in case you want somewhere to stay.
Try Asiarooms.com for some cheap deals.......
Sorry to go on.....enjoy your stay where ever you choose

really really jealous
