Buri Ram Airport (BFV)

Buri Ram Airport (BFV) serves the city of Buriram in Northeastern Thailand's Isaan region. This regional airport is a crucial transport link for the area, connecting it to Bangkok (both Suvarnabhumi BKK and Don Mueang DMK) via Thai AirAsia. The airport features a single runway (04/22) measuring 2,100 meters and a small terminal building that processes over 290,000 annual passengers, with significant expansion plans underway including a new second terminal to increase capacity to 1.7 million passengers. Its layout is designed for efficient domestic operations within Thailand.

Security procedures at BFV are in line with Thai national aviation regulations. Passengers can expect efficient processing through security checkpoints, which include baggage screening and personal checks. Due to the airport's regional nature, check-in and security processes are generally quick. Boarding is typically conducted via a short walk across the tarmac to the aircraft, usually an Airbus A320. The airport provides a convenient alternative to a 5-hour drive from Bangkok, supporting tourism and local economic activities in the Isaan region.

Amenities within the terminal include a small restaurant, cafes, and shops, offering beverages, snacks, and some local products. An ATM is available. For ground transportation, taxis and pre-arranged hotel transfers are readily available outside the terminal, providing convenient connections to Buriram city center and nearby attractions. The airport serves as an efficient gateway to explore ancient Khmer ruins like Phanom Rung Historical Park, traditional silk weaving villages, and authentic Thai rural culture, offering a unique insight into the rich heritage of Northeastern Thailand.
