Our Recommendation
7.8

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.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
๐Ÿ™๏ธ

Bangkok Sprawl

Watch the dense urban grid of the capital fade into the lush countryside during climb-out.

๐ŸŒณ

Khao Yai Range

The dark green silhouettes of Thailand's oldest national park visible to the north.

๐Ÿ’ง

Mun River

The silver ribbon of the Mun River snaking through the eastern agricultural heartland.

๐Ÿ˜๏ธ

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.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
๐ŸŒŠ

Gulf View

A brief glimpse of the Gulf of Thailand if the flight path circles south after takeoff.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

Dรขngrรชk Escarpment

The high cliffs defining the natural border between Thailand and Cambodia in the distance.

๐Ÿบ

Phanom Rung

The site of an ancient Khmer temple situated atop a prominent extinct volcano near Buriram.

๐Ÿงฉ

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.
