Dear Friends and Family,

To help make your journey as smooth as possible, we have put together some essential travel information for guests traveling from both the US and Europe.

Getting to Koh Samui:

For guests traveling from the US, the most convenient option is to fly to Bangkok, Thailand’s capital city. Many airlines offer connecting flights from major US airports to Bangkok via Tokyo, Seoul, Hong Kong, Taipei, Doha and Dubai. This first stage of the journey can take around 20-24 hours. If you don't sleep on planes, you might want to stay a night in your layover city's airport hotel.

Once you arrive in Bangkok, you will take a direct, 70-minute flight to the island of Koh Samui (USM) in the Bay of Thailand, via Bangkok Air. We suggest that you book this leg separately from your main journey to Bangkok, via www.bangkokair.com. Make sure you book from the right airport, as there are two airports in Bangkok. We recommend BKK.

You might want to book a convenient hotel near the airport in Bangkok before this final leg of the journey, if you are not planning to rest for a night during your layover.

For our guests coming from Europe, direct flights to Bangkok are available from London, Paris, Zurich, Amsterdam, Istanbul and Frankfurt. The flight time is between 9 and 12 hours, depending on departure city.

Entry Requirements and Travel Documents:

Before traveling, please ensure that your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your planned departure date.

Accommodation:

Please see below for the room block details! There are also many accommodation options close to the venue ranging from $30 to $300 per night.

UPDATED Wedding Itinerary:

We are planning to arrive to Koh Samui on Sunday, March 9th. Sam's mom Liz is hosting a welcome gathering on Tuesday. Our wedding will be on Thursday at Silavadee.

On Saturday we are planning to take the ferry to Koh Phangan, the nearby island where we stayed during the pandemic, and stay for a couple of nights. We welcome anyone who doesn't have to travel home right away to join us there for a beach day or waterfall hike. We will be staying near Head Yao Beach, which is a quiet area in the northwest part of the island.

On Tuesday, we will take the ferry back to Koh Samui and fly back to Bangkok from there.

Exploring Koh Samui:

While you’re here, we hope you'll take the opportunity to explore the beaches, delicious food and cultural attractions Koh Samui has to offer. More details to come here as well!

We are truly honored to have you celebrate this special occasion with us in Koh Samui. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out!

With love,

Bridget and Sam
