Narathiwat Airport (IATA: NAW, ICAO: VTSC) is in Khok Khian subdistrict, Mueang Narathiwat district, Narathiwat province in southern Thailand.

Currently there are only direct flights from the Narathiwat Airport to Bangkok which operate on a daily and bi-daily basis, however recent planning by the Department of Airports suggests the terminal will undergo major upgrades which is resulting in the planning of additional routes to and from Narathiwat from both domestic and international airlines.[1]
