Which side of the plane to sit from Suvarnabhumi Airport (Bangkok) to Lampang Airport (Lampang)?

Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a vantage point for the Pasak Jolasid Dam and the colossal Mae Moh open-pit mine, a geographic marvel unique to this route.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
💧

Pasak Jolasid Dam

Thailand's longest clay-core dam, creating a massive shimmering reservoir in the Lopburi area.

🏔️

Phetchabun Mountains

Dramatic views of the limestone karsts and high peaks lining the eastern horizon.

🏗️

Mae Moh Lignite Mine

A staggering open-pit mine, one of the largest in SE Asia, featuring colorful layered earth and giant machinery.

🏡

Lampang Valley Basin

A scenic approach over the Wang River and the traditional teak-house clusters of the northern valley.

Best for late morning and afternoon flights. The highlight is the Mae Moh Mine, which appears on the right just as the plane begins its final approach. The scale of the mine is best appreciated from several thousand feet up.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏙️

Bangkok Urban Sprawl

Vast views of the metropolitan area and the Chao Phraya River immediately after takeoff.

🛕

Ayutthaya Historical Park

Aerial perspectives of the ancient capital's stupas and temple complexes north of Bangkok.

🌾

Central Plains Heartlock

Endless patchwork of emerald rice fields stretching across the Ang Thong and Sing Buri provinces.

⛰️

Doi Khun Tan Range

Rugged, forested mountain ridges that define the natural border of the Lampang province.

Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. During the descent, watch for the dense jungle of the national parks bordering the valley. If taking off to the south, you might see the Gulf of Thailand before the plane turns north.
