Gateway to Bokeo Province and the Golden Triangle.

Location

Ton Phueng, Laos

Bokeo International Airport (IATA: BOR, ICAO: VLBK) is a small regional airport serving Ton Phueng district in Bokeo Province, northwestern Laos. It is situated near the confluence of the Mekong River and close to the Golden Triangle Special Economic Zone, a major commercial and tourist area. The airport serves limited domestic routes within Laos and is intended to support the growing tourism and trade activity in the region. Its international designation reflects its proximity to borders with Thailand and Myanmar, though scheduled international service remains limited.

Passenger volumes are relatively low compared to larger Lao airports such as Wattay International in Vientiane or Luang Prabang International Airport.
