Typical price (THB)
200-500 per trip within main areas
Notes
Koh Samui taxis famously do not use meters even though cars have them - a flat fare is negotiated instead, and prices are high for Thailand. Expect roughly 200-500 THB for trips between the main beach areas; almost nothing costs under 200 THB. ALWAYS agree the price before the car moves. Airport to Chaweng is commonly quoted around 350-450 THB.
