Nan Nakhon Airport[2] is in Pha Sing subdistrict, Mueang Nan district, Nan province in northern Thailand. Flights are available only one destination: Bangkok (DMK).

In 2014, a new terminal further down airport road replaced the old terminal. The same runways are still used. Upon arrival and departure, passengers are required to walk to the terminal or the plane, as no ramps extend from the terminal.

Naming

On 15 February 2015, Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn went to the opening ceremony of the new terminal. During this occasion, she gave the name of "Nan Nakhon Airport" which means "the airport of Nan province".[3]
