Wow Tapes: Thailand is one of a kind (video)
This video is worth it because you don't get to see the usual pictures of beautiful beaches, but especially Thai life.
I understand that you can fly (directly via KLM) from Bangkok to Koh Samui with flight no. PG5125 and PG5171. Is it just these two flight numbers? Or as the Thaipass site says: Domestic transit in Thailand is allowed ONLY from Suvarnabhumi Airport to Koh Samui and Phuket by a dedicated 4 digit flight PG5XXX.
