Flights to Pattaya
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Pattaya is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is U-Tapao–Rayong–Pattaya International Airport (UTP), 31 km (19 mi) from the centre, whose 11,500-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK, 84 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| U-Tapao–Rayong–Pattaya International Airport | UTP | 31 km (19 mi) | 11,500 ft | 42 ft |
| Suvarnabhumi Airport | BKK | 84 km (52 mi) | 13,123 ft | 5 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 11,500 ft, UTP can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 42 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
