Phetchabun Airport guide

Phetchabun Airport (ICAO VTPB) opened on 8 April 2000 and sits in Lom Sak district, in the lower north of Thailand. The airfield is 137 m above sea level. It is run by the Department of Airports, which manages most of Thailand's regional airfields.

The airport has a single asphalt runway, designated 18/36, that is 2,100 m long. That length takes narrowbody jets and turboprops. Services here have been thin. Nok Air flew the route to Bangkok Don Mueang until July 2019, and published schedules since then are patchy, so check the current timetable with an airline before planning a trip around a flight.

The airport lies in the Phetchabun valley, close to the Lom Sak to Phetchabun road corridor. Visitors use it to reach Khao Kho, Nam Nao National Park and Phu Hin Rong Kla National Park. Ground transport is limited, so arrange a taxi or hire car in advance.
