Phetchabun Airport (PHY/VTPB) is a small domestic airport in northern Thailand, serving Phetchabun Province and nearby Lom Sak. It sits roughly between Phetchabun city and Lom Sak, with a single runway and a compact terminal. It primarily handles domestic flights—most notably to and from Bangkok—and serves as a gateway to Khao Kho, Phu Thap Boek, and Nam Nao National Park.
💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors often book a private car for the day rather than returning to Phetchabun city, since the airport’s location makes it practical to combine Khao Kho, Lom Sak, and the surrounding mountain viewpoints in one loop.
🚖 Getting There
The airport has no reliable regular public bus service, so pre-arrange a taxi, hotel shuttle, or rental car. A drive to Phetchabun city takes about 20–30 minutes, while Khao Kho or Lom Sak can take 45–60 minutes or more. Confirm your return pickup before leaving town, as taxis are not always waiting at the terminal.
