| Note: THIS IS THE MOST
EXPENSIVE AIRPORT IN ALL OF THAILAND. It is privately owned by Bangkok
Airways, and they will charge you US$300 fee if you land there (even for
Flying Clubs and Non-profit organizations). Hopefully, someday, this will
change to make a more General Aviation friendly environment and support the
growth of aviation industries (similar to Malaysia, USA and Australia). |
