  "connection_tips": "Phetchabun Airport (PHY) serves central Thailand. IMPORTANT: As of early 2026, the airport handles NO regular scheduled commercial airline passenger flights (commercial service ceased in 2018). It is currently used primarily for military operations, flight training, and occasional government charters. For travelers needing to reach Phetchabun or the Khao Kho mountain resort, the standard procedure is to fly into Phitsanulok (PHS) or Bangkok (DMK) and complete the 2-hour or 5-hour journey by road.\n\nFrequent intercity buses provide reliable transfers to Phetchabun town. If arriving at PHY via a sanctioned private flight, ground transport into the town center (approx. 30km away) must be pre-arranged from Phetchabun town The buses are the sane choice if you are heading into Phetchabun town, but they only help if you are not trying to thread the airport into a same-day onward journey.\n\nThe facility is utilitarian with zero passenger terminal amenities. Photography of military sites is strictly prohibited Because the field is tied to military use, visitors should treat it as a controlled facility and not as a normal civil terminal. Because the field is tied to military use, visitors should treat it as a controlled facility and not as a normal civil terminal. Road travel is the fallback, not the airport experience itself.",

  "terminal_info": "Phetchabun Airport (PHY) is a regional domestic aviation facility serving Phetchabun Province in Northern Thailand, located approximately 25 miles (40 km) north of the Phetchabun city center. The airport operates from a single, compact passenger terminal building designed to facilitate regional travel and essential charter operations. While the facility historically hosted regular commercial links to Bangkok via Nok Air, it currently functions primarily as a base for private aviation, government missions, and seasonal charters.\n\nThe terminal infrastructure is modest and focused on essential transit services, providing a functional waiting area and basic check-in counters. While the facility lacks large-scale commercial amenities like retail shops or duty-free outlets, travelers can find a small on-site caf\u00e9 and a luggage-wrapping booth when flight operations are active. The facility is fully accessible and offers a secure environment for passengers, alongside a dedicated information desk and basic medical support for urgent assistance.\n\nOperationally, the airport features a substantial 6,890-foot (2,100m) asphalt runway managed by the Department of Airports (DOA). Ground transportation to central Phetchabun and the nearby district of Lom Sak is informal, with visitors typically utilizing local taxi services or pre-arranged private vehicle transfers. For regular scheduled commercial airline services, travelers to the province typically utilize Phitsanulok Airport (PHS), located approximately 2 hours away, and complete their journey via the regional highway network.",
