Several ground transport options meet arriving flights:
A hire car works well if you plan to explore coastal districts such as Khanom or Sichon.
The city's signature landmark is Wat Phra Mahathat Woramahawihan, a major temple with a tall white chedi. Old city walls and a shadow puppet workshop are also worth a look. Beyond town, Khao Luang National Park offers waterfalls and forest trails, while Khanom is known for quiet beaches.
Morning and evening flights to Bangkok tend to fill up around Thai public holidays, so plan ahead for those dates. Confirm your Bangkok airport before booking a connection. Arriving about 90 minutes before a domestic departure is usually enough at an airport of this size.
