Thandwe airport serves Ngapali and is in fact closer to the beach than it is to the town of Thandwe. Mid-range and luxury hotels offer complimentary airport transfer, and have dedicated desks in the airport arrival area. If you do not have transport arranged, taxi prices will vary according to the location of your hotel location – but should cost no more than K5000. There is a currency exchange and coffee shop/bar at the airport.

Note that flights from Yangon and Sittwe to Thandwe run regularly throughout the year but flights from other locations are sometimes cancelled, particularly in the rainy season.
