Gateway to southern Thailand's historic Gulf Coast city.

Location
Nakhon Si Thammarat, Thailand
Nakhon Si Thammarat Airport (IATA: NST, ICAO: VTSF) serves the provincial capital of Nakhon Si Thammarat on the eastern coast of the Malay Peninsula in southern Thailand. The airport handles domestic traffic connecting the region to Bangkok and other Thai cities, supporting tourism, commerce, and government travel in one of Thailand's oldest and most historically significant provinces. The airport is operated under the oversight of Thailand's Airports of Thailand (AOT) or the Department of Airports, serving a modest but steady flow of passengers. It plays an important role in the local economy, as Nakhon Si Thammarat is a major administrative and cultural center in the south of Thailand, known for its ancient temples and traditional crafts. The facility offers limited international connectivity and primarily functions as a regional domestic hub, with runway capacity suitable for narrow-body jet aircraft. Passenger volumes are relatively small compared to major Thai airports, reflecting the provincial nature of the destination.
