U Tapao Airport is to have a big revamp

[jeffo999 0]

I would think if the perimeter of U-Tapao had an Angeles City built up around it it may just work out. That would save lots on taxi fares but then the high hotel prices may lead people to make the long journey to the beach resort of Pattaya

Came through U-Tapao yesterday 29 of April on a Bangkok Airways flight from Koh Samui.

Picked us up at the airplane with colourful painted Trolleys that took us the short trip to arrival hall.

No customs officers as it was a domestic flight just one baggage claim transport band, through the gates and there were 3 Taxi-Minibus counters were I bought a Minibus ticket to Pattaya, price now 250 baht, took only 35 minutes to South Pattaya,

driver will take you to your hotel if you stay at some big wellknown place, but might just drop you off at the nearest main street junction if you stay at some smaller lesser known Hotel or Guesthouse in some off soi!

Didn't see any revamp at the arrival hall at all, looked like a few years ago.

Maybe Departure Hall has had some change, but I never went over there!?

Sorry no pictures as you are not allowed to photograph the Airport, as it belongs to the Thai Navy!

It's called U-Tapao Pattaya International Airport

Good report, Plahgat, as always. Only missing your usual pics of the babes encountered.

 

It may have a sign saying that. The people who put up the signs pay for them.

 

But it is first, last and uniquely the "Utapao Royal Thai Navy Airfield".
