Nan Nakhon Airport is located 1 km North-West side of town, just before you are exiting town in direction of Pua. Nan Nakhon Airport was build in 2014 and the IATA code is NNT. It is a small, boutique like airport with an almost brand new terminal building. When entering the airport by private car, be aware that the airport is shared with the Royal Thai Airforce and you might end-up at the Airforce buildings. Next to Nan Nakhon Airport is free parking, but you can not leave your car there overnight. At the terminal are ATM's, some small souvenirs shops, a Coffee Shop and a small convince store. No 7/11 or restaurant yet, so if you are hungry take you own food with you. Next to the check-in counters are toilets. In case you have a lot of luggage, at the entrance of the terminal are trollies.

Arriving at Nan Nakhon Airport

First you will have to walk over the platform to the terminal. There is only 1 entrance, so not worry. And there is only 1 belt for the luggage. And while you are waiting, next to the luggage belt are toilets. When you walk into the arrival hall you will see on your left hand first a Coffee Shop and with some car-rental companies and taxi-transport companies (mini-vans). At the exit of the arrival hall are ATM's to get some Thai Baht, but I assume you had that already.
