Weather Briefing
MVFRPattani Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 10,000 feet and 7 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west (260°) at 11 knots with gusts to 26 knots. Runway 26 is favored with a 11-knot headwind and 0-knot crosswind component. Student pilots and low-time aviators should exercise caution.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 7 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 10000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 1,800 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 26°C (79°F) with a dewpoint of 21°C, indicating moderate moisture conditions.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 24 hours. The forecast shows a transition between VFR and IFR conditions. Pilots should monitor the forecast closely and have an alternate airport plan. Expected weather includes: Thunderstorm Rain. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 06:00Z and 15:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About Pattani Airport
Overview
Pattani Airport (VTSK) is a medium-sized airport located in southern Thailand at coordinates 6.785460, 101.153999. Situated near the city of Pattani, the airport serves the transportation needs of the Pattani Province in the southern region of the country. Its modest elevation of 8 feet MSL indicates a flat terrain characteristic of the coastal area.
Flying Conditions
Southern Thailand experiences a tropical maritime climate with significant precipitation and consistent temperatures. Pilots should anticipate potential moisture-related challenges, particularly during the monsoon seasons which can impact visibility and runway conditions. The airport's low elevation of 8 ft MSL suggests minimal altitude-related performance considerations for aircraft operations.
Notable Features
The airport features a single runway (08/26) with an asphalt surface measuring 4,593 feet in length. Its geographical position near the coast implies potential maritime wind influences that could affect approach and departure procedures. The relatively short runway length requires careful performance planning for aircraft operations.
Approach Considerations
Runway 08/26 provides directional flexibility based on prevailing wind conditions. Pilots should conduct thorough preflight planning to understand weight, performance, and potential wind vector implications for takeoff and landing. The airport's coastal location may introduce localized wind shear or turbulence considerations during approach and departure phases.
