U-Tapao Airport

Pattaya International Airport is commonly called U-Tapao and it is situated on the main Sukhumvit Road between Pattaya and Rayong. And landing at U-Tapao you can expect to be in central Pattaya in around 40 minutes.

U-Tapao was originally a military airport and even today it is home to many aircraft of the Royal Thai Airforce and Navy, and is also a hub for servicing both military and commercial aircraft. The runway is one of the longest in Thailand and almost any size aircraft can land and take off.

A new passenger terminal has been built for internal and international flights.  Carriers operating from Utapao currently are: Nok Air, Thai Lion Air, AirAsia, Hainan Airlines, Bangkok Airways and Qatar Airways. Plus, there has been a vast increase of chartered flights from China due to the ongoing popularity of Pattaya as a Chinese tourist destination.

The Eastern Seaboard Expansion

U-Tapao is geared up to handle the expansion of the Eastern Seaboard as a business hub of this part of Asia. Many large international companies now have plants and offices in and around the vast industrial estates of the Eastern Seaboard, and having an airport that can handle freight as well as passengers is a major boon to these organisations.

This means an expansion of housing to cope with new workers and the influx of foreign businessmen. This is yet another reason why it is so important to get involved in real estate right now, it is an investment you will not regret.
