>>IT WAS 1K BATH AND AROUND 50 MINS TRAVEL TIME<< I paid less than 100 baht Utapao to Pattaya last time but it was in a rickety old bus that took well over an hour.

I don't see anything to be gained in flying Phuket to Utapao over Phuket-BKK-Pattaya...there's virtually no difference in travel time because of the stop in Samui and via BKK is cheaper....plus it will be even quicker when routing through the new airport.

Flying into Utapao certainly makes you appreciate the Russian presence in the area though. There were more than a dozen Russian charter airliners on the ground and even all the signs in the terminal building are in Thai, English and RUSSIAN.
