About This Site
Last updated: August 28, 2026
This is an independent travel-information guide to U-Tapao International Airport (UTP/VTBU) and the Eastern Aviation City project near Pattaya and Rayong, Thailand. Our aim is to gather the practical details a traveller actually needs - transfers, the expansion works, and how the airport fits into the wider Eastern Economic Corridor - in one clear place.
What this site is
We collect and organise publicly available information about U-Tapao International Airport: how to reach Pattaya, Rayong and Bangkok from the terminal, the status of the Eastern Aviation City development, and the multi-stage expansion plan. Where facts change - construction timelines, new routes, terminal works - we update the pages and note when they were last reviewed.
The content is written for people planning a trip or following the airport's growth, not as an official record.
We are independent
This website is not operated by, affiliated with, or endorsed by the Royal Thai Navy, the Eastern Economic Corridor Office (EECO), U-Tapao International Aviation Co., Ltd. (UTA), or any government or aviation authority. Official schedules, notices and legal information should always be confirmed with the airport operator and your airline before you travel.
How the site is funded
Some pages include a transfer booking tool provided by an independent partner, and the site may display advertising. If you book a transfer or interact with an ad, we may earn a commission or fee at no extra cost to you. This helps keep the guide free to read. It does not change the information we publish - we describe transport options as we find them, not according to who pays.
Corrections
If you spot something out of date or inaccurate, please tell us. We would rather fix a detail quickly than leave a traveller with the wrong information.
