where most visitors to Pattaya arrive at. This is convenient for flying south to Phuket and Samui directly or making a short visit to Angkor Wat in Cambodia. It also serves popular charter flights from Eastern Europe.
There is a small local airstrip with limited facilities at U-Tapao – an airbase 25 minutes drive south Pattaya. The airport in Pattaya now has international status but was formerly a very busy airbase during the Vietnam War era and indeed played a hand in Pattaya’s rise.

Bangkok Air has two scheduled flights a day to Samui and one to Phuket taking approximately one and a half hours. There is also a daily flight to and from Siep Riep (for Angkor Wat) in Cambodia offered by PMT Air. Korean Air flies three times a week to and from Incheon. The Moscow service from Transaero is a seasonal service.
