What is the experience like flying from Utapao Airport in Rayong?

Het lukt niet omdat het geen rechtstreekse vlucht BRU-BKK is. Maar geen nood: stuur een mail met de vlucht die je wenst te boeken en met de gegevens van de voucher naar en alles wordt voor je geregeld. De mail kan in het Nederlands.

Ik heb het vorige maand zo gedaan voor een vlucht in oktober.

Bangkok Airways flies to Phuket from there. We are sat at BKK right now having come from Pattaya.

Some of the Arabic carriers use to fly there before ", the situation "..

Mostly to Chiang Mai and Kho Samui.

It's mostly down to how much money you are willing to spend. It's not a large airport and doesn't have many flights. There aren't any international flights to my knowledge, so if you want to enter or exit Thailand, you have to get to Bangkok first anyways.

Also basically every domestic flight will be going to Bangkok first and then to wherever else you want to go, but you're going to be paying extra for that trip from Utapao to Bangkok and then onto your final destination. So if you still thank that's worthwhile, then go for it. Else you can take a 130b bus to Bangkok, and I think there are actually buses that go directly to Suvanabhumi airport from Pattaya as well for not much more.

A funny anecdote about this airport: During the height of Covid, the country closed down any flight to or from a "red" zone province and Bangkok was one of these, so no one could fly to or from Bangkok domestically. Instead they increased flights to Utapao and added a very cheap shuttle service from Utapao directly to Bangkok. I'm not sure how this helped to prevent Covid since it was just a workaround to flying directly to Bangkok, but TIT right
