on 4/12, more as doubling capacity to handle pax. Apparently 18 different airlines use it now with 36 destinations, incl to countries like Malaysia, Vietnam, China. Remains in the hands of the Thai airforce.
I dk if it is far away from the small old terminal. I guess current minibuslines will remain the same with just slightly different end there (call the day before for pick up fom HTL)
For those coming str8 from EUR or NoAm to visit Pattaya it remains best to simply fly into Swampy and bus/taxi it from there.
