DMK → LOE
Which side of the plane to sit from Don Mueang International Airport (Bangkok) to Loei Airport (Loei)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides an exceptional view of Thailand's iconic flat-topped mountain, Phu Kradueng, and the rugged Phu Luang plateau during the approach into Loei.
Greater Bangkok
Aerial views of the northern Bangkok suburbs and the Pathum Thani residential sprawl shortly after takeoff.
Central Plains Rice Paddies
The vast 'rice bowl' of Thailand, featuring intricate irrigation networks and vibrant green fields.
Phu Kradueng Plateau
The famous heart-shaped or bell-shaped flat-topped mountain, one of Thailand's most recognizable natural landmarks.
Phu Luang Sanctuary
A high-altitude plateau known for its unique flora and dramatic cliffs, visible just before descending into Loei.
Choose the left side for morning flights (7:00-10:00 AM) to avoid direct sun glare. Keep your camera ready about 15 minutes before landing to capture the distinct silhouette of Phu Kradueng. During the rainy season (June-October), the landscape is incredibly lush and green.
Don Mueang Golf Course
A unique bird's-eye view of the Kantarat Golf Club located right between the airport runways.
Pasak Jolasid Dam
A massive reservoir in Lopburi province that looks like a giant inland sea from the air.
Phetchabun Mountains
The rugged mountain range that separates Central Thailand from the Isan plateau.
Nam Nao National Park
Dense, misty forest canopies and ridge lines as the flight crosses into the northern hills.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the Phetchabun mountains. The Pasak Jolasid Dam is most impressive at the end of the monsoon season when water levels are at their peak. Look out for the white Buddha statues nestled in the hillsides of Saraburi mid-flight.
