U-TaPao International Airport

It is approximately 40 km away from Pattaya city.
I decided to go see the state with rental motorcycle.
This airport is located along Sukhumvit Road.
I got to the road without hesitation.

  Front of the airport              

There was a checkpoint on the way to the airport premises.
So I stop temporarily and tell to securities (They were wearing military uniforms)
Do I need to show my passport?
They said No need.
I passed through without problems.

Of course, the picture could not be taken here.

  Air port area                           

It is divided into a departure terminal and an arrival terminal here.

A monument decorated in the parking lot in front of the departure terminal.

This is the entrance to the departure terminal.
Baggage inspection is being carried out at the entrance.
I could not get in while I did not have a ticket.
I wanted to see the state of the facility but it is no good.

This is the next arrival terminal.
The image posted at the beginning of the article is in front of this facility.

I wanted to look at the departure and arrival of aircraft, but I could not find a good place.
It was hot outside, so I did not stay long.

Small Airfield in Pattaya

City : Pattaya, Chon Buri Thailand
Location : The area over Jomtien from Pattaya down town

I was watching a free guide map.
Then I found a picture of a light plane below.

I confirmed the location on the Google map.
And I decided to go check it.
I expect that can watch the airplane takes off and landing.

I headed there on a motorcycle.
On the way, I got lost.
I did not suppose to go through unpaved roads.
Thanks to GPS I was able to arrive there.

A hangar appeared at the end of the unpaved road.

And across the facility there was a runway.

Contrary to expectations, it was quiet here.
There was only one administrator.

I asked him the current situation.
Then, now that one plane is flying.
It seems to land after about 30 minutes.
Lucky!
I waited for that time.

This plane is completely private.
It seems to belong to this pilot.
I’m so jealous.

So, I decided to observe the ferry service for a while.
However, Right when it, ferries were taking a long time to arrive.
After waiting for about 30 minutes, I got on a ferry that arrived.
