Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The Left Side is highly recommended for its breathtaking final approach views, offering a bird's-eye perspective of the iconic limestone karsts and emerald waters of Phang Nga Bay.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Gulf of Thailand Coastline

Panoramic views of the coastline where the Chao Phraya River meets the sea shortly after takeoff.

🏝️

Phang Nga Bay

Dramatic limestone formations and small tropical islands scattered across the turquoise sea during descent.

🚤

Floating Fishing Villages

Clusters of traditional stilted houses and fishing boats visible in the mangrove estuaries near Phuket.

🏙️

Samut Prakan Hub

A clear view of the industrial and urban density bordering Bangkok's southern edge.

Book a window seat on the left (Seat A) to see Phang Nga Bay. On morning flights, this side is shaded from direct sunlight, making it better for photography. The best views occur roughly 10-15 minutes before landing.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Bangkok Skyline

A distant but expansive view of the city's high-rise clusters and the winding Chao Phraya River.

🧂

Samut Sakhon Salt Pans

Vibrant, geometric patterns of coastal salt evaporation ponds that reflect the sky like mirrors.

⛰️

Tenasserim Range

The misty blue ridges of the mountain range forming the natural border between Thailand and Myanmar.

🏖️

Andaman Sea Coast

Views of the long, sandy stretches of Khao Lak and the Andaman coastline as the plane turns for its final approach.

The right side (Seat F or K) is the place to be for late afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the Andaman Sea. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff to capture the unique geometric shapes of the coastal salt farms.
