We flew with Bangkok Airways on our recent trip to Thailand. We usually get the 'discover Thailand' package with Thai Airways which gives you 3 domestic flights for just over £130 but the flights we needed were not available this time. I did my research and managed to get the 4 flights we needed with Bangkok Airways for a very reasonable £120 per person. So, what did we think of Bangkok Airways? Fantastic! the flights were always smooth and on time and the service was excellent. Even in economy Bangkok Airways have lounges at all airports which offer complimentary beverages and lights snacks, there is also internet access & free Wifi. This was a ...  Read the complete review

I have personally flown with Bangkok Airways about 7 times and every flight I have taken with them has been a pleasure. The routes that I have flown are U-tapao(Pattaya) to Koh Samui, U-tapao to Phuket, Phuket to Bangkok and Siem Reap to Bangkok(The flight from Siem Reap was run by its partner airline 'Siem Reap Airways'). Bangkok Airways owns the Airport on Koh Samui and also is the only commercial airline that flies out of U-Tapao airport in Pattaya's military base. Therefore they have the monopoly on these routes, but this doesnt matter as Bangkok Airways are a high quality airline that offer good deals and prices throughout all their routes. At present ...  Read the complete review

I flew with Bangkok airways from Bangkok to Koh samui via Chaing mai as there were no seats left on the direct flight. An excellent airline. Staff were very gracious and helpful both ground crew and cabin crew. All Bangkok airways passengers are welcomed into an exclusive lounge in each airport and served drinks and snacks magazines and free internet access. Each leg of the flight we were served a snack type meal and a drink. On one leg it only lasted 50 minutes but we were still served a snack by cheerful friendly staff. Once landed a little trolley cart picks you up from the plane and takes you to the terminal. Its all very quaint and a very pleasant ...  Read the complete review

Bangkok Airways bill themselves as Asia's "boutique" airline, and its not hard to see why. Their most famous route is that between Bangkok and Koh Samui and they even own the airport at Samui. The airline also flies to destinations all over Asia, including Cambodia, Vietnam, Japan and Hong Kong. The planes are small and some are turbo props but with the growth in popularity of tourism on Samui more jets are being used. The service onboard is outstanding and is far superior to anything I have experienced in the US or Europe. Everyone on board receives a meal and drink and children's meals are excellent, also including a sticker ...  Read the complete review

I flew by Bangkok Airways to Koh Samui, Thailand some time ago. We were told that they had just launched this new large aircraft but when we boarded found that we were to be travelling on their old planes which for some reason had yet to be upgraded to the larger plane. The plane was the smallest commercial plane I've ever seen. Not very confidence inspiring! Slightly less comfortable than promised but that was not a problem. The plane seemed to land in the middle of nowhere, literally. It was already dusk and there was not a single building in sight! Add to that we had a VERY bumpy landing, enough to make me start praying - hard! I thought we were making an ...  Read the complete review
