This is a list of airports in Thailand. There are 39 commercial service airports in Thailand, 10 of which are international airports.[1] The Department of Airports (DOA) managed 29 airports, while 7 airports are managed by Airports of Thailand (AOT), 3 airports are managed by Bangkok Airways (BA), and 1 airport is managed by the Royal Thai Navy (RTNV).[2] The six major international airports managed by AOT are the main gateways to Thailand for international travelers, while smaller commercial airports may be operated by the DOA or individual airlines. Thailand also has military and private airports that serve various purposes, such as supporting military operations, private aircraft operations, and general aviation.

This list includes airports other than the 39 airports listed above, without scheduled services, military airports, as well as airports and airstrips used solely for general aviation.
