Takhli Royal Thai Air Force Base
Takhli Royal Thai Air Force Base, coded TKH, is a military installation located in Nakhon Sawan Province in central Thailand. Historically, the base gained prominence during the Vietnam War era when United States Air Force units operated from Takhli under agreements with the Royal Thai government, flying strike missions into Southeast Asia during the 1960s and early 1970s. Today the facility remains under Royal Thai Air Force control, supporting national defense operations and periodic joint exercises rather than any civilian passenger traffic. TKH is not accessible for commercial flights, and its infrastructure reflects decades of continued use as strategic military airfield within Thailand's air defense network.
