Mae Hong Son Airport

Mae Hong Son Airport (HGN) is a small regional airport in northern Thailand that opened in the 1970s and serves as the main air gateway to Mae Hong Son province and its dramatic mountain scenery. The single-terminal airport handles mostly domestic flights and is important for travelers heading to Pai, local hill-tribe villages and Chiang Mai connections. Ground access is straightforward—short taxis and motorbike taxis link the airport to Mae Hong Son town, with minivan and bus services to nearby cities; public-transport options are limited but practical for most visitors. There are no major airline hubs here; services are primarily operated by Nok Air and other regional carriers. Fares tend to be affordable, especially on low-cost domestic routes, making HGN a convenient option for budget travelers visiting northern Thailand.
