Hat Yai Airport

❎ Unverified | A small Airport. Everything you need is present. But, be warned. Just outside the arrival hall, when leaving the building, there is a table with people selling bus/taxi tickets. It seems that this is an official booth. We got ripped off. We were not brought to the place we asked and checked several times and in the end had to pay more then the double. So please be warned. The airport should do something to this!

Used this airport in Dec 2011. It was a small regional 2 storey level airport level 1 was the dep and arrival hall while level 2 was the boarding area. On the arrival hall there were 4 immigration counters all counters were opened for the Tiger Airways flight from Singapore. Private taxis were available and it cost about B300 to the town area. No fast food outlet in this airport only 2-3 restaurants in the arrival area. Security was tight all luggage had to be screened upon entry to the terminal. Once past immigration there's only a small vat refund counter and 1 small shop in the boarding area. The boarding area has 4 gates 1-3 for the domestic while 4 was used for the international flights. There was no aerobridge available for gate 4 passengers hence 1 has to use 1 flight of stairs to level 1 and walk about 25 m to the aircraft. Facilities were limited however the airport was clean and staff were friendly.

Regional airport not that busy. Efficient check-in. Services pretty basic but everything works. Newer TG Business Lounge very nice.
