Ranong Airport guide

Ranong Airport serves Ranong province on Thailand's southern Andaman coast. It sits in Ratchakrut subdistrict, Mueang Ranong district, at 17 metres above sea level on flat ground. A mountain range rises to the east, with Highway 4 running between the range and the airfield. The nearest high point is Khao Nom Sao, 1,089 metres tall and about 6 km away.

Construction began on 30 March 1993, and the airport opened on 18 May 1995. The first aircraft to land was a Boeing 737 carrying 150 passengers. The Department of Airports runs the site. It handled about 170,000 passengers on 2,237 flights in 2019. In 2025 it handled 131,104 passengers on 889 aircraft movements, up 7.88 percent and 13.66 percent on the year before.

The airport is small and regional. Its single concrete runway, 02/20, is 2,000 metres long. The airport is roughly 500 km from Bangkok by air route, and the main flight link is a Don Mueang service. As of January 2025 no international flights operated. Most visitors arrive for the nearby islands, hot springs and border trade with Myanmar.
