Location

Laem Ngop, Thailand

Trat Airport (IATA: TDX, ICAO: VTBO) is a small regional airport serving Trat Province in southeastern Thailand, located near the town of Laem Ngop. It acts as the primary air access point for travelers heading to Ko Chang, one of Thailand's largest and most popular islands, situated in the Gulf of Thailand close to the Cambodian border. The airport is operated by Airports of Thailand (AOT) and handles a modest volume of domestic traffic, primarily connecting Trat with Bangkok. Its strategic location makes it a convenient alternative to the lengthy overland journey from Bangkok for tourists bound for Ko Chang and the surrounding archipelago. Flight services have historically been limited, with Bangkok Airways being the dominant carrier on the Bangkok–Trat route. Passenger volumes remain relatively low given the airport's regional nature and competition from road transport.

Terminals

Trat Airport has a single small terminal building handling both departures and arrivals for domestic passengers.

Getting to & from

Ground transport from the airport to Ko Chang typically involves minivans or taxis to the ferry pier at Laem Ngop, followed by a short ferry crossing to the island.

Airlines here

Bangkok Airways has historically been the primary airline operating scheduled domestic services between Trat and Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport.
