BKK โ UBP
Which side of the plane to sit from Suvarnabhumi Airport (Bangkok) to Ubon Ratchathani Airport (Ubon Ratchathani)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a scenic journey over the northern edge of the Khao Yai mountain range and captures the serene beauty of the Mun River basin as you approach the Isan plateau.
Bangkok Sprawl
Watch the dense urban grid of the capital fade into the lush countryside during climb-out.
Khao Yai Range
The dark green silhouettes of Thailand's oldest national park visible to the north.
Mun River
The silver ribbon of the Mun River snaking through the eastern agricultural heartland.
Ubon Suburbs
A clear view of the city's expansion and the local landmarks upon the final descent.
Morning flights are best for the left side to avoid the harsh afternoon sun. Look for the distinct change in terrain from the flat central plains to the hilly Khorat Plateau. During the rainy season from June to October, the landscape is exceptionally vibrant green.
Gulf View
A brief glimpse of the Gulf of Thailand if the flight path circles south after takeoff.
Dรขngrรชk Escarpment
The high cliffs defining the natural border between Thailand and Cambodia in the distance.
Phanom Rung
The site of an ancient Khmer temple situated atop a prominent extinct volcano near Buriram.
Isan Paddies
A vast mosaic of agricultural fields that change from emerald green to golden yellow depending on the season.
The right side is preferable during late afternoon flights to avoid direct sunlight. If the plane departs to the south from Suvarnabhumi, you will get an excellent view of the coastline. Watch for the Phanom Rung temple site if the sky is clear.
