Chiang Mai Skyline
Excellent views of the Ping River and the dense urban grid of the old city upon takeoff.
Khun Tan Range
The rugged mountain spine that separates the Chiang Mai and Lampang basins.
Phu Kradueng
The famous heart-shaped flat-topped mountain is often visible in the distance near the Loei border.
Huai Luang Reservoir
A massive body of water that signals the final approach into Udon Thani Airport.
Isan Farmlands
A beautiful patchwork of rice paddies and red-earth fields characteristic of Northeast Thailand.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to catch the golden hour light over the Isan plateau. Look for the distinct change in topography where mountains suddenly drop off into the flat Khorat Plateau. Keep your camera ready during the final 10 minutes of flight for the best agricultural patterns.
