TLDR : Answer Summary

This post discusses the challenges faced by a traveler trying to return to the United States from Koh Phangan amidst fears of airport closures. The traveler has options to fly from Samui to Bangkok, then from Bangkok to Japan and onward to the US. However, there are concerns about the status of Samui Airport and Bangkok Airport amid the ongoing situation. Some comments clarify that while Bangkok Airways has canceled some flights, Bangkok's airports remain operational. The traveler is encouraged to verify with airlines and consider options like VIP bus transfer to Bangkok.

i really want to go home, a could book a flight but somebody told me, the airport might be closed, so i decided not to book any flight and relax. Airports in Bangkok are open, boats are still floating and can be used to reach mainland. Good luck and please if someone tells you, there is a party on the beach, laugh about it and make your way back home.

you may have to self-quarantaine yourself when arriving to the USA. You should check the websites of the US government or the IATA list of countries and their air traffic updated regulations

there are no more flights out of o Samui at this point, because Bangkok Airways has discontinued their service. You might be able to travel to Bangkok by VIP bus (Ferry & Bus) and Bangkok airport is still open and serving US routes

Samui Airport is still open. Bangkok Air has only cancelled the international flights and reduced some of the BKK-USM flights
