Stephen & I had our first visit to the Mae Sot airport this week to pick up a volunteer, and it was too wonderful not to mention. Please forgive the camera phone photos and cherish the fuzzy images they hold!
This is pretty much it. The arrival area is off to the left, and departures are to the right. There is one woman at the check-in/information counter.
There are no restaurants, but one little shop showcasing the treasures of Mae Sot, including some boxed food.
These are the departure & arrival boards, obviously permanent enough to be pasted together. We were there on a Thursday, so they had one flight come in at 10:35am, and it left again at 10:55am–a notably quick turnaround that included a pickup truck pulling up next to the plane to move luggage. And after that flight took off, their day was over.
And, last but not least, we thought the sign to enter security was worth capturing.
I’m sorry, I simply need to declare them, and then I can continue right through? I’m hoping this is a translation error.
Either way, we really loved the airport, and we’re dreaming of flying right out of Mae Sot for an adventure sometime soon!
What, no body scanner??!! That was a hilarious–just let them know if you have a weapon.
