Historic Royal Thai Air Force Base in central Thailand.

Location

Takhli, Thailand

Takhli Royal Thai Air Force Base (IATA: TKH, ICAO: VTPI) is a military airfield located near Takhli in Nakhon Sawan Province, central Thailand. It serves primarily as an operational base for the Royal Thai Air Force and is not a commercial passenger airport. The base gained significant historical prominence during the Vietnam War era, when it was used extensively by the United States Air Force as a forward operating location for strike missions. It hosted F-105 Thunderchief units and other USAF aircraft throughout the 1960s. Today, Takhli remains an active Royal Thai Air Force installation and periodically hosts joint military exercises with allied nations, including the United States. Civilian and commercial operations at the airfield are extremely limited.
