During the Vietnam War the facility was known as Ubon Royal Thai Air Force Base, serving as a front-line base of the United States Air Force.

Nok Air ceased their service in mid-2008, and Thai Airways and Air Asia each ceased one of their own flights, so that in January 2009 there are only 2 Thai Airways (early morning and evening) and 1 Air Asia flight (mid-morning) each day. Thai Airways expects to reintroduce their afternoon service in late-January 2009. Nok Air now (Aug 2010) has three flights from Bangkok to Ubon.

It is south of Rte 3 (Thanon Sukhumvit) at km189, about a 45-minute drive from Pattaya (Thailand’s most popular beach resort).

It also serves as the U-Tapao Royal Thai Navy Airfield, home of the Royal Thai Navy First Air Wing. U-Tapao is the home of a large Thai Airways maintenance facility, servicing that airline’s aircraft as well as those of other customers. During the Vietnam War U-Tapao was a military base for United States Air Force B-52 Stratofortress bombers, known as “Bi-hasip-sawng” to the local people^{[citation needed]}. U-Tapao was a front-line base along with the other US bases at Korat, Udon, Ubon, Nakhon Phanom, and Takhli. The USAF B-52s made regular sorties over Thailand’s eastern neighbors, especially North Vietnam, carrying an average of 108 500- and 750-pound bombs per mission. Entertainer Bob Hope used to visit the base every year between 1964 and 1972 with his USO Christmas show.^[5]

U-Tapao Airport is situated in the town of Sattahip, about 45 minutes from Pattaya and around 160 km from Bangkok Airport.
