🌆

Bangkok Cityscape

Excellent views of the distant high-rises of Sukhumvit and the Chao Phraya River on the climb out of DMK.

🏞️

Lam Takhong Reservoir

A stunning blue body of water tucked against the edge of the Khorat Plateau hills near Nakhon Ratchasima.

⛰️

Khao Yai Ridges

Distances views of the lush, protected forests and mountain peaks of the Khao Yai National Park system.

💧

The Mekong Border

The winding Mekong River marks the international border, appearing as a massive silver ribbon on the descent.

⛰️

Laos Karst Mountains

Spectacular jagged limestone peaks of the Khammouane region in Laos visible across the river just before landing.

The 'Money Shot' is on the right during the final 10 minutes of flight. As the plane turns to align with the KOP runway, you get a panoramic view of the Mekong and the dramatic mountains in Laos. Choose a seat forward of the wing for the clearest views of the river.

🏙️

Pathum Thani Urban Sprawl

Aerial views of the northern Bangkok suburbs and the massive Rangsit university complexes shortly after takeoff.

🌾

Central Plains Mosaic

The intricate patchwork of rice paddies and irrigation canals stretching across the provinces of Ayutthaya and Saraburi.

⛰️

Phu Phan Northern Slopes

Dense forest canopies and rugged terrain of the Phu Phan mountain range as the flight enters the Isan region.

🌅

Golden Hour Horizon

On late afternoon flights, this side provides unobstructed views of the sunset over the Khorat Plateau.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct tropical sun. During the rainy season, you will see the most vibrant green hues of the rice fields from this side.
