✨ AI-Enhanced Insights
Trat Airport (TDX/VTBO) is a small boutique airport in Laem Ngop, southern Thailand, built and operated by Bangkok Airways. Opened in 2003, it primarily serves Bangkok Suvarnabhumi flights and is the main gateway to Trat province, Koh Chang, and the surrounding islands. Its open-air tropical terminal and tarmac boarding give it a relaxed resort-style feel.
💡 Local Tip
If you're heading to Koh Chang, ask your driver to stop at Ao Thammachat pier rather than Laem Ngop town pier; it's the main vehicle ferry crossing and usually has more frequent departures.
🚖 Getting There
Taxis and minivans meet most flights, but fares are often fixed or negotiated—confirm the price before departing. For Koh Chang, pre-arrange a combined airport-to-pier transfer through your hotel or a reputable operator. Allow extra time in the rainy season (May–October), as ferry schedules and road conditions can slow the trip.
