Hua Hin airport's terminal: The seaside resort has yearned for air connection which is lacking. BOONSONG KOSITCHOTETHANAHua Hin may soon get a long-awaited steady international air link for the first time in years with the arrival of AirAsia from Malaysia. Commercial air services to Hua Hin were sporadic in the past as airlines retreated due to inadequate passenger traffic volumes. In late 2013, Nok Air commenced flights from its Don Mueang hub in Bangkok to Hua Hin but they were suspended shortly after wards. Its relatively short distance from Bangkok -- about three hours' drive -- has been blamed for making commercial air transport to Hua Hin unpopular.
