 Unofficial Samui Airport Taxi Service or Hire Points

 

Several taxis await passengers outside the Samui Airport grounds that offer Koh Samui airport transfer services. You will need to bargin hard to get a decent price, but knowing the official private car transfer prices is a good starting point for doing better.


 
IHateTaxis.com has a mixed recommendation on the unofficial Samui Airport taxi service.

Although you will be able to get a better price, you will need to bargain.



 Samui Airport Taxi Scams


Some drivers, in particular for unofficial taxis waiting outside, will tell you your hotel is closed, under repair, a bad choice, and so on to take you somewhere else and earn themselves a nice commission. If this happens, make sure to insist on being taken to your requested destination.
