Bangkok Urban Core
Aerial views of the sprawling Bangkok metropolis and the winding Chao Phraya River shortly after takeoff from DMK.
Gulf of Thailand Coast
Scenic views of the coastline stretching down toward Hua Hin, where the blue water meets the white sandy shores.
Phang Nga Bay
The flight's crown jewel; spectacular limestone formations and emerald waters visible during the approach to HKT.
Floating Villages
Look for the unique stilted settlements like Koh Panyi nestled among the islands of the bay.
For the best experience, book a seat behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Phang Nga Bay islands. Late afternoon flights provide the most dramatic lighting for photography over the bay, as the sun illuminates the limestone cliffs from the west.

Samut Songkhram Salt Fields
Intricate geometric patterns of traditional salt evaporation ponds visible early in the flight.
Tenasserim Range
The dense, jungle-covered mountain range that defines the border between Thailand and Myanmar to the west.
Andaman Sea Coastline
Views of the rugged western coast and the narrowest point of the Kra Isthmus as the plane turns south.
Mai Khao Beach
On a western approach (Runway 09), you'll pass directly over this beach famous for plane spotting just before touchdown.
The right side is ideal for sunset flights, offering a panoramic view of the sun dipping into the Andaman Sea. In the morning, however, this side can be quite bright and hot due to direct sunlight; keep your window shade down until you reach the southern islands to avoid glare.
