## Description

Set on the flat coastal plain beside the Gulf of Thailand, barely above sea level, Nakhon Si Thammarat (NST) is one of southern Thailand's busier regional airports. Thai AirAsia, Thai Vietjet, Nok Air and Thai Lion Air run around a dozen daily flights to Bangkok for this large east-coast province on the Malay Peninsula. Cargo is limited to belly capacity aboard passenger jets; the airport operates no standalone freight terminal. Heavier air freight for the south consolidates through Hat Yai (HDY), about 280 km south, or through Bangkok. For forwarders, NST offers useful belly space, while palletised and heavy goods rely on the peninsula's road and rail links.
