On 20 August 2012 which was during school holidays, we were on Bangkok Airways, Asia's Boutique Airline to Koh Samui, an one and hour flight from KL International Airport.
Bangkok Airways was the first private owned airline established in Thailand since 1968 with boutique services, lounge and meal providing full service onboard. They were the only airline in Asia voted by Skytrax as Best Regional Airline for six consecutive years from 2004-2009.
First time we flew on Bangkok Airways, this airline is convenient as you fly direct to Koh Samui.
Koh means island in Thai language. Samui as locally known is the 2nd largest island after Phuket, located near to mainland town of Surat Thani. Our flight was directly to Samui airport, a private owned airport of Bangkok Airways.
Upon arrival, we were greeted by our tour guide and proceeded with city tour: Stranger Rock - Grandfather and Grandmother Rock, Big Buddha and Waterfall. Then we were brought to a restaurant which patronized by local Thai. The Som Tham (papaya salad) was excellent and not to mention all other dishes recommended by our tour guide. After lunch, we checked into our hotel, Chaweng Cove Resotel which was situated at the white sandy beach.

We were then free on our own leisure. We roamed the town at night and went on to a seafood restaurant which we patronized 2 days in a row.
On the 3rd day, we went for KTV, the right activity to for my teenage sons. We had ice cream at Swensen where we indulged in our all time favourite rum and raisin in the evening.
While waiting for our flight home, were helped ourselves with some snack and coffee served complimentary by Bangkok Airways.
