About Phrae Airport
Phrae Airport is a small domestic airport serving Phrae town and Phrae Province in Northern Thailand. Opened in 1952, when the Department of Commercial Aviation upgraded the runway and built a terminal, it has long provided a direct air link between the province and the capital.
Today the airport handles domestic flights, primarily Nok Air services to Bangkok's Don Mueang. It has a single compact terminal building where check-in, security, departures and arrivals are handled close together, keeping walking distances short and turnaround times quick.
Located roughly 5 km from the city centre, the airport is reachable by taxi, tuk-tuk, local songthaew, and private or pre-arranged transfers. The short journey makes it a convenient entry point for visitors exploring Phrae's old town, temples and teak heritage.
Passenger facilities are basic, with a small café or snack area, shops and parking. Travellers typically continue to Phrae town for a wider choice of dining, accommodation and onward travel through Northern Thailand.
