Central Thai Plains
A patchwork of emerald rice paddies and irrigation canals stretching across the Chao Phraya basin.
Sittaung River Valley
The winding silver ribbon of the Sittaung River as the aircraft enters the heart of Myanmar.
Uppatasanti Pagoda
A massive, golden landmark that is a near-replica of Yangon's Shwedagon, highly visible on the approach to Naypyidaw.
Naypyidaw Boulevards
The famous 20-lane wide highways and organized government zones of the purpose-built capital city.
The right side is essential for seeing the unique architecture of Naypyidaw. Keep your camera ready about 15 minutes before landing to capture the Uppatasanti Pagoda. For afternoon flights, the lighting on the golden monuments and the green landscape is particularly vibrant.

Western Bangkok
Aerial views of the Chao Phraya River and the sprawling western suburbs of the Thai capital shortly after takeoff.
Tenasserim Hills
The rugged, jungle-clad mountain range that forms the natural border between Thailand and Myanmar.
Srinagarind Reservoir
If the flight path trends south, the massive turquoise waters of this Kanchanaburi landmark are visible.
Kayin State Highlands
Mist-covered peaks and limestone karsts typical of eastern Myanmar's dramatic topography.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is also best for viewing the dense forest canopies of the border region. During evening flights, you may catch a glimpse of the sun setting over the distant Andaman Sea horizon.
