Historic southern Thai airport serving Songkhla province.

Location
Songkhla, Thailand
Songkhla Airport (IATA: SGZ, ICAO: VTSH) is a small airport located in Songkhla province in southern Thailand. It has historically served the region alongside the larger Hat Yai International Airport (HDY), which handles most commercial traffic in the area. The airport has primarily served military and general aviation purposes in recent decades, with limited or suspended scheduled commercial operations. Its proximity to Hat Yai Airport, approximately 30 kilometers away, has reduced the commercial demand for Songkhla Airport over time.
Getting to & from
Ground transport between Songkhla Airport and Songkhla city center is available via road, with taxi and private vehicle as the primary options.

A quiet southern gateway bridging Thailand's Gulf Coast heritage

Songkhla Airport is a small, historically significant airfield located in Songkhla Province in southern Thailand, near the shores of the Gulf of Thailand. Once an active commercial airport serving the region, it has largely transitioned away from regular passenger operations, with nearby Hat Yai International Airport now serving as the primary hub for the area. Songkhla remains notable for its cultural and geographic position in the deep south of Thailand.

Dining

Songkhla city offers exceptional southern Thai cuisine, including fresh seafood along Samila Beach and local Muslim-influenced dishes unique to the region. Options inside the airport itself are extremely limited given its minimal operational activity. Visitors are encouraged to explore Nakhon Nai Road and the old town area for authentic local dining experiences.

Traveller Tips
  • Hat Yai International Airport (HDY) is approximately 25 km away and offers far more flight options for the region.
  • Songkhla's old town and Chinese heritage quarter are within easy reach and well worth exploring before or after travel.
  • Southern Thailand's deep south provinces have specific travel advisories; check government guidance before visiting.
  • Currency exchange and ATM facilities in the airport area are very limited — carry sufficient Thai baht in advance.
