Khorat Plateau
The vast, patchwork agricultural landscapes of Northeastern Thailand, characterized by rice paddies and rural villages.
The Mekong River
Multiple scenic crossings of the mighty Mekong River, serving as a natural border between Thailand and Laos.
Pearl River Delta
Distant views of the massive urban clusters of Southern China, including the outskirts of the Guangdong megalopolis.
Qiantang River
The massive, winding Qiantang River, famous for the world's largest tidal bore, dominates the view during the landing sequence.
Zhejiang Industrial Heartland
A bird's-eye view of the rapid development and high-tech manufacturing hubs surrounding Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport.

Bangkok Skyline
Dramatic views of the Chao Phraya River and the dense urban sprawl of northern Bangkok shortly after takeoff from DMK.
Northern Highlands
The rugged, jungle-clad peaks of the Luang Prabang Mountain Range along the border of Thailand and Laos.
Guizhou Plateau
Mist-covered karst landscapes and deep river valleys as the flight traverses the mountainous terrain of Southern China.
West Lake
On specific northern approach patterns, you may catch a distant glimpse of Hangzhou's UNESCO-listed West Lake to the west.
