As flights begin to depart from Thailand from UTapao Airport, here's some info about the airport and how to get there. UTapao Airport is located 190 kilometres south east of Bangkok - it's essentially a 45 minute drive from Pattaya, located near Sattahip.
UTapao is a former US military base, and facilities there are quite basic and the airport can only deal with a limited number of flights each day. However, it can deal with planes of any size. Several airlines -- e.g. THAI Airways and SAS -- have said they will fly in and out of UTapao. The situation is changing constantly, so it's important to check direct with your airline if you are looking to fly from UTapao. You must reconfirm your flight before going to the airport, as it is very chaotic and extremely unlikely you can organise new tickets at the airport itself without prior approval.

You can check the official UTapao Airport website and the UTapao Wikipedia page, but neither have much information that is of help to passengers looking to exit from UTapao.
