Ko Samui or Koh Samui, often locally shortened to Samui, is an island off the east coast of Thailand. Geographically in the Chumphon Archipelago, it is part of Surat Thani Province, though as of 2012, Ko Samui was granted municipal status and thus is now locally self-governing. Ko Samui, with an area of 228.7 square kilometres (88.3 sq mi), is Thailand's second largest island after Phuket. In 2018, it was visited by 2.7 million tourists. Private jet travelers to Koh Samui benefit from smooth, discreet access via Samui Airport (USM), making the destination especially attractive for high-net-worth business and leisure travel.
Koh Samui suits leisure travel shaped around waterfront hotels, villas, yachts, and well-timed arrivals that avoid long commercial connections. Another reason clients often stay longer is how easily Koh Samui pairs with Singapore and Bali on a custom multi-stop itinerary.
Private aviation is particularly helpful during December to August, when premium accommodation, marina transfers, and short high-demand leisure windows make precise scheduling through Samui Airport (USM) especially valuable.
Samui Airport (USM) is the preferred airport for private jet travelers to Koh Samui. Compared with the alternatives, it usually offers the best balance of access and private handling convenience, while Surat Thani International Airport (URT) is a strong alternative when travelers prioritize a different terminal location or specific aircraft positioning, while Phuket International Airport (HKT) can be useful for overflow demand, schedule constraints, or larger aircraft movements.

Koh Samui is most popular from December to August. These months align with the strongest yacht, villa, and beach-club demand, so airport slots, hotel inventory, and premium ground transfers can tighten quickly around long weekends and the height of summer.
