Which side of the plane to sit from Don Mueang International Airport (Bangkok) to Krabi Airport (Krabi)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides an unparalleled vantage point of the Thai coastline along the Gulf of Thailand and the spectacular limestone karst formations of the Andaman Sea during the descent into Krabi.
Bangkok Skyline
A great view of the sprawling Bangkok metropolis and its skyscrapers as the plane climbs south.
Samut Sakhon Salt Pans
Look for the bright, geometric patterns of coastal salt evaporation ponds just south of the capital.
Hua Hin Coastline
Clear views of the popular resort town's long sandy beaches and the hills of Khao Takiab.
Limestone Karsts
The highlight of the trip: dramatic limestone cliffs jutting out of the landscape as you approach Krabi.
Krabi Mangroves
Detailed views of the winding river estuaries and dense mangrove forests surrounding the airport area.
This is the premier choice for photographers. Ensure you have a window seat away from the wing to capture the iconic karst mountains during descent. Afternoon flights provide a beautiful golden light over the coastline, though it may be warmer due to the sun's position.
Chao Phraya Delta
Watch the iconic river empty into the Gulf of Thailand shortly after departure from Don Mueang.
Sunrise Horizon
On early morning departures, this side offers unobstructed views of the sun rising over the open sea.
Krabi Inland Greenery
The approach offers views of deep green rubber plantations and palm oil estates characteristic of Southern Thailand.
Choose this side for early morning flights to enjoy the sunrise without the intense glare of the western sun later in the day. It offers a peaceful view of the open sea for the majority of the flight duration.
