About Pattani Airport
Pattani Airport is a small military and government airfield located in Bo Thong subdistrict, Nong Chik district, in southern Thailand's Pattani province. Opened in 1963, the airport supports Royal Thai Air Force and Royal Thai Army operations and does not currently host regular scheduled commercial passenger flights.
Situated about 15 km southwest of Pattani town, the airport has a single asphalt runway and a basic passenger terminal used mainly for authorised government and military travel. Public travellers to the area generally fly into Hat Yai International Airport or Narathiwat Airport and continue by road.
The airfield maintains strict access protocols and limited on-site facilities, so most passenger services, dining, and logistics are arranged in Pattani town. Onward travel is typically pre-arranged through official contacts rather than booked at the terminal.
For most visitors, Pattani Airport functions as a secured regional airfield rather than a conventional public gateway, with the practical arrival route being a commercial flight followed by a road transfer into Pattani.
