Mekong Delta
The complex, emerald-green network of river branches and rice paddies in southern Vietnam.
Tonle Sap Lake
Southeast Asia's largest freshwater lake, appearing as a massive silver sheet in the Cambodian landscape.
Khorat Plateau Edge
The transition from the low-lying Cambodian plains to the slightly elevated plateau of Eastern Thailand.
Bangkok Suburbs
The sprawling residential developments and golf courses of Samut Prakan on the final approach.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side provides the best angle for spotting the Tonle Sap lake during the mid-flight segment. During the monsoon season (May-Oct), watch for dramatic cloud formations building over the Gulf of Thailand.
