🧂

Samut Sakhon Salt Pans

Brilliant white and pink geometric ponds used for salt production shortly after takeoff.

🏖️

Hua Hin & Cha-am

Clear views of the long sandy beaches and high-rise hotels of these premier resort destinations.

⛰️

Khao Sam Roi Yot

The 'Mountain of Three Hundred Peaks' featuring dramatic limestone cliffs rising from the marshes.

🌊

Prachuap Khiri Khan Bays

The stunning curved shorelines of Ao Noi, Ao Manao, and Ao Prachuap visible in quick succession.

⛰️

Tenasserim Range

The rugged, forest-covered mountain range that forms the natural border between Thailand and Myanmar.

🌴

Southern Plantations

Vast, organized grids of oil palm and rubber trees that characterize the landscape of Southern Thailand.

This is the premier side for photography. For the best lighting on the landscape, book an afternoon flight to have the sun behind you. Watch for the 'Kra Isthmus', the narrowest part of the Malay Peninsula, as you pass Chumphon.

🌊

The Gulf of Thailand

Vast expanses of deep blue water stretching toward the horizon.

🚢

Maritime Traffic

Large cargo vessels and fishing fleets congregating near the mouth of the Chao Phraya River.

🍤

Coastal Aquaculture

Intricate patterns of shrimp and fish farms visible along the coastline during the initial climb.

🏝️

Samui Archipelago

On very clear days during descent, the distant silhouettes of Ko Samui and Ko Pha Ngan may be visible to the east.

Choose this side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and heat. During the final descent into Nakhon Si Thammarat, look out for the lush mangrove forests where the land meets the sea.
