分享我待過的這家旅館的資訊,和

從 蘇梅島 搭船>巴士>搭廉價航空AirAsia 回曼谷 
的經驗、花費及時間. 

泰國遊的好處就是
不用真的花大錢就可以住進CP值高的旅館! 

機票價: 

曼谷直飛蘇梅島來回機票只由曼谷航空和泰國航空包辦, 

大概要台幣7仟至1萬上下(看季節). 

廉價航空 Airasia 或 Nok Air 不是直飛蘇梅島, 
要搭配船和巴 (可在訂機票時加價為套票). 

但 Airasia機票大概是直飛的1/4, 
甚至 1/5 (有促銷價時或早班機更便宜!) 

我們9月份去, 大約一個人機票付美金50吧. 

請記得, 搭廉價航空要便宜, 就要控制好行李重量, 

Airasia只讓帶免費登機行李箱一件標準 8公斤唷!!!! 

和一般印象中的10-15公斤不同. 

我們訂Airaisa時已查好也預想到, 

所以, 選擇一件行李付費加價到20公斤

**請上航空公司官網查價** 

我當時是2013.9. 約加價USD10), 一件不加價. 

我們2人的2件登機箱平均1件是12-15公斤, 

但上機檢查前分配為15-20公斤和8公斤, 

其餘塞個人隨身背包裡. 

如果, 檢查時, 因為當場超重需加價, 可能會被收費較貴. 

總之, 是夏天嘛, 應該是輕便衣物, 行李儘量精簡, 

不然, 搭船要搬上搬下, 不方便吧.

話說回來, 不是直飛, 就耗很多時間在轉乘. 

但, 我們也第一次這樣飛, 是種經驗, OK的! 

可得和旅遊伴侶有共識, 不然, 也許很毛燥會吵起來? 

旅途中, 很多歐洲背包客, 

實在很佩服這些歐洲背包客背著可能重達20公斤的行李. 

我個人還是喜歡用拖拉式軟式行李箱, 可提可拉,

畢竟大部份帶著行李的時間是走路的時候吧, 

不想一直背著重物流汗又腰痠背痛. 唉, 我真不是背包客...

不是沒想試過, 但真的好重....

Hello 😎: 
We came to Koh Samui from BKK by train and took Airasia flight back to BKK. Either by train or Airasia flight, it is very time-consuming. but it's a different experience, no compliant. :) Oh! the ferry (I should have not said it 'cruise' in video, may got ppl wrong image, apology!...:P) from Sura Thani to Koh Samui in train combination ticket package is way much more comfy than from Koh Samui to Nakhon Si Thammarat in the Airasia combination ticket package.

TRANSPORTATION FEE:
*AirAsia round trip. combination ticket (ferry + bus transfer): ~USD50/person
*1 free carry on luggage up to 8 kg. additional ~USD10 to allow carry-on luggage up to 20 kg

HOW: Going back to BKK from Koh Samui:
From Samui Resotel to Lipa Noi Pier (RAIA ferry port): taxi paid 600 bahts, about 30 mins (bcoz it's early morning 5:40, no traffic & it's fast.)
At Lipa Noi Pier: claimed the ferry ticket to Donsak pier in Nakhon Si Thammarat province, Thailand. the ferry ride took about 1.5 hr.
When arrived Donsak pier, we had to take a bus for almost 2 hrs to go to the Nakhonsithammarat airport for BKK.
From Nakhonsithammarat airport, it's about 50 mins flight to BKK,  arrived at old airport 'Don Mueang International Airport'.
See, it could be tiring. BUT, we chose this way because we wanted to experience Thailand night train and the bus. So, it is an experience! We had expected how long it would take. so, it's fine. BTW, the total airasia or train fee probably is 1/4 or 1/5 (maybe promotion price or early flight, also depending on season)  of the air fare of a direct flight from BKK to Koh Samui, in other words, we exchanged our time to buy money??! well, anyway, like I said, it's an experience!

About Samui Resotel:

 (Just to share my thoughts. So many nice hotel at Koh Samui. You could always find a good deal suits your needs) We stayed 2 nights in late Sep, 2013 as a couple. (it's a standard that each of their room has an extra single bed)

Likes:

1. Nice beach just a few walks from our room; 

2.we stayed at the cheapest room style but the room design is good & modern with sufficient lights; the view from balcony is wonderful: pool & sea view and watched the sunrise in the early morning, and the mountain view just outside of the room door. 

3. there's one good moped rental store just right in front of the hotel that makes return easy (if told them as the guest of samui resotel, it's fine without the original passport for rental); 

4.staff was nice to let us check in at noon considering we needed to check out from the other hotel. 

5. we enjoyed a leisure day at the lovely resort pool ordering the beers from the pool bar and then rent a ski jet just a few steps away from the hotel beach and had lots of fun. *Please take care of your own safety!! :)

6. the staff surprised my husband by sending him a very nice birthday cake (not that kind of cheap looking cake) that we both did not expect.

Dislikes:

1. After checked in and got into the room, we found the bed had some white nice smell powders all sprinkled on the bed sheet cover. It might be the housekeeper to make the sheets smell fresh... Firstly I did not know how and where the powders got on my hands, arms and legs, it took a whie to realize where it came from. We called the front desk and they send house keeper to change it right away. 

2. every time we passed by the hall way to our room (3rd floor), we always hear the electricy arcing, it kind of bother us, guess the staff might take a look and call someone to check it out.
