What it costs and what fits

Fee
  • The surfboard page gives no cash figure: the charge is 'assessed at the Excess Charge rate' if it pushes the passenger over their normal baggage allowance.
  • No fixed surfboard-specific fee is published.
Max length
277 cm
Pieces
1 surfboard per passenger
Pre-booking
Not stated as mandatory on the public page; airline advises contacting customer service to arrange carriage
Small aircraft
Maximum surfboard/board-bag length is only 170cm on ATR 72 aircraft versus 277cm on Airbus jets - a real trap for kite quivers (board + kites in a coffin bag commonly run 160-190cm+), since many Bangkok Airways domestic routes (e.g. to Koh Samui, Trat, Sukhothai) are ATR-operated.
Filed as
  • Surfboard - Bangkok Airways' special-baggage page has a dedicated 'Surfboard' entry (no kite-specific listing);
  • it states surfboards are 'accepted as checked baggage on Bangkok Airways' subject to a length cap, with any excess weight billed at the standard Excess Charge rate.

Before you pack

2 points

  1. Check which aircraft type operates your specific Bangkok Airways sector before packing - a bag under 277cm may still be rejected or need to be split down if the flight is ATR-operated (170cm cap)
  2. Call PG customer service (1771 / 02 270 6699) in advance since fee amounts are not published online
