## Description

Surin sits in Thailand's lower Isan, a region defined by silk weaving, rice farming and the elephants that fill its famous November round-up. Its airport (IATA: PXR) handles only thin domestic passenger service and has no dedicated cargo terminal, so air freight is not a realistic option here. Forwarders moving goods from Surin province send shipments overland to Bangkok–Suvarnabhumi (BKK), Thailand's principal air-cargo gateway roughly four hours away by road. For most logistics planning, PXR is best treated as a passenger field, with BKK doing the cargo work.
