Koh Samui to Bangkok - all flights booked out for days!

Hi all,

I am stuck in a travel jam that I am hoping a clever FTer might have a solution to.

I'm currently on Koh Samui with a Bangkok Air flight booked to take my partner & I back to Bangkok on the 9th January.

We need to change our plans and get back to Bangkok by the 5th January. The problem is this: every single flight out of Koh Samui is booked out until the 8th or the 9th.

I've looked at the alternatives - e.g. ferry to Surat Thani and then flight to Bangkok. But there is only one flight available and it's late at night, and this is not a terribly comfortable way of doing it.

Any other ideas? I'm even considering flying to Singapore and then on to Bangkok but this is prohibitively expensive. I am open to expensive solutions but going via Singapore would just be ridiculous.

Many thanks in advance!
Alex
