Pa Sak Jolasid Dam
A stunning view of Thailand's longest clay-core dam and its massive reservoir in Lopburi province.
Khao Yai National Park
Distant vistas of the lush, forested mountain ridges of the Dong Phayayen-Khao Yai Forest Complex.
Red Lotus Lake
The vibrant pink hues of Nong Han Kumphawapi are visible just south of Udon Thani during the winter descent.
Isan Plateau
The landscape shifts to the unique red soil and varied agriculture characteristic of Northeast Thailand.
The right side is essential for seeing the Red Lotus Lake (Talay Bua Daeng) during its peak season from December to February. For the best lighting, choose morning flights to have the sun behind the plane while viewing the Pa Sak Jolasid Dam. Ask for a seat well forward of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the dam's scale.

Bangkok Skyline
Panoramic views of the capital's skyscrapers and the winding Chao Phraya River shortly after takeoff.
Don Mueang Airport
A clear aerial perspective of Bangkok's historic second airport as you climb north.
Central Plain Mosaics
Infinite patterns of emerald rice paddies and intricate irrigation canals stretching toward the horizon.
Ayutthaya Ruins
On clear days, the distinct shapes of ancient stupas in the historic park are visible north of the city.
Sit on the left for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Central Plains. This side avoids direct morning sun, making it better for photography during early departures. Keep an eye out for the historic temples of Ayutthaya about 15 minutes into the flight.
