Utapao Airport

[nkped 1,208]

Made a domestic trip (Phuket) out of and returning to Utapao last week, first time in a couple of years.  Just a few things of note.  The new terminal is open and quite nice.  There seems to be a good size car park but can't comment further as I didn't park a car.  

Returning, we were 10-15 minutes after entering the terminal to get our luggage and out the door.

It's a significantly shorter trip than the drive from Suvarnabhumi.

Did the trip with Bangkok Air, reasonable price and although an ATR72 turboprop it didn't take much longer than a jet. Very quick in and out at U'tapao, but Phuket was a bit of a pain still.
