Southern Thailand's gateway to the Gulf Coast.

Location
Chumphon, Thailand
Chumphon Airport (IATA: CJM, ICAO: VTSE) is a small domestic airport serving the coastal city of Chumphon in southern Thailand.

Inside the airport, food options are limited to a small café and snack counter given the terminal's compact size. The nearby town of Chumphon offers a range of Thai restaurants, seafood stalls and local markets within a short drive, where fresh catches from the Gulf are a highlight. Travellers are advised to eat in town before departure as in-terminal choices are minimal.

Traveller Tips
  • Confirm your flight status in advance as schedules on this route can be infrequent and subject to change.
  • Book ferry connections to Koh Tao or Koh Phangan ahead of time, especially during high season in November to March.
  • Arrive early as the terminal is small and check-in queues can slow during peak travel days.
  • Keep Thai Baht cash handy as card acceptance at transport stands and small vendors around the airport is limited.
