## Description

Chanthaburi airfield (ICAO: VTBC) lies at Khao Wua in Thailand's eastern Chanthaburi province, a region known for its gem trade and tropical fruit such as durian and mangosteen. It carries no IATA code, has neither scheduled service nor cargo handling, and offers no terminal, handling agent or customs post. The region's air freight — mainly export fruit and gemstones — is processed at Bangkok Suvarnabhumi (BKK), which is also where customs clearance takes place, with U-Tapao (UTP) in Rayong as the closer option for charter cargo.
