How to book flights from Koh Samui to Chiang Mai with Haqqi Tours

Airlines flying from Koh Samui to Chiang Mai

On the flight from Koh Samui to Chiang Mai you can choose between Bangkok Airways. A full-service airline normally includes a checked bag, a meal and a flexible ticket; a low-cost fare is cheaper at the start and adds those items one by one. We provide both and tell you the total for the way you actually travel.

Departure: Samui Airport (USM)

Flights from Koh Samui to Chiang Mai leave from Samui Airport (USM), serving Koh Samui - koh Samui is the palm island of the Gulf of Thailand, with Chaweng and Lamai beaches, the Big Buddha and the Ang Thong marine park. Plan to be at the airport about two hours before an international departure and ninety minutes before a domestic one; earlier at peak times. Online check-in opens 24 to 48 hours before and we send the link with your ticket. Getting to the airport: Songthaews circle the ring road and airport minibuses serve the main beaches, but there is no rail or metro, and songthaews are slow and crowded with luggage; a private car is simpler for families, villas, the west and south coasts, and connections to the Phangan and Tao boats.

• Check the baggage included in your fare - we tell you before you book
• Haqqi Tours arranges a private transfer from your hotel in Koh Samui to Samui Airport
• Just ask about the terminal and fast-track options at Samui Airport
• Arrive about 2 hours before an international departure, 90 minutes before a domestic one

November to February is cool and dry and the best time to visit; March to May is hot, with smoke haze from field burning that can be heavy from February to April; the rainy season runs from June to October. Songkran in mid-April and the lantern festivals of Yi Peng and Loy Krathong in November bring the busiest and slowest roads.

How much is a flight from Koh Samui to Chiang Mai?

"How much is the Koh Samui to Chiang Mai flight?" is the question we get most, and the honest answer is that it moves every day. Low fares open months ahead and disappear as seats sell; peak seasons, school holidays and the most convenient departure times cost more; a fare with a checked bag and a flexible ticket cost more than a hand-luggage-only seat. Haqqi Tours provides the current cost for the date you travel within minutes of receiving the form - the actual fare, not an estimate.

What the price we send includes: the ticket in the fare class you chose, the taxes and airport charges, the baggage that fare carries, and our service - comparing the airlines, booking, sending the e-ticket and helping if the flight changes. We tell you clearly if a bag or a seat costs extra on that fare.
