Chumphon Airport (IATA: CJM, ICAO: VTSE), is in Chum Kho subdistrict, Pathio district, Chumphon province in southern Thailand. The airport is 35 kilometres north of downtown Chumphon.
In 2008 the airport reopened after nine years of closure. The airport now serves as a gateway to the islands of the Gulf of Thailand.
