VTBT Bang Phra Airfield

Welcome to THAI FLYING CLUB!

We are the first and the oldest flying club in the Kingdom of Thailand, and we are committed to the development and promotion of General Aviation. Bang Phra Airport is the most challenging and exciting airport to land in all of Thailand because we are right next to a mountain. Pilots who learn to land here can land anywhere. We are also the representative of IAOPA in Thailand and Southeast Asia.

How to find us

The Thai Flying Club is located at Bang Phra Airfield (VTBT) about 3 Kilometers East of the small village of Bang Phra. We are about a 90-minute drive Southeast of Bangkok or a 45-minute drive North of Pattaya. If you are coming from Bangkok, you can take a taxi to Sriracha (about 8 km North of Sriracha) to the Bang Phra Golf Club. We are right near the Golf Club and they can direct you. You can also come by Bus: Go to Ekkamai Skytrain Station. Walk to Ekkamai Bus Station. There are buses leaving from Ekkamai Bus Station (in Bangkok) every 30 minutes. Take the bus to SRIRACHA. Ask to get off in BANG PHRA (about 8km North of Sriracha). Near the 7-Eleven shop, you will find many Motorcycle Taxis or Tuk-Tuk Taxis. Ask them to take you to "Snambin Bang Phra" (Bang Phra Airport). The airport is located on the University Campus "Kaset Rajamangala" near Bang Phra Golf Club. You enter the University and go straight past the clock tower, and you will come to the runway. You will see the clubhouse across the runway. Use the Google map because finding the Thai Flying Club is not easy. Enjoy the adventure.
