DMK Airbase
Direct views of the Don Mueang terminals and the Royal Thai Air Force base upon departure.
Pa Sak Valley
Distant views of the reservoir and the lush greenery bordering the Lopburi and Saraburi provincial hills.
Phitsanulok City
A clear aerial perspective of the urban city layout and the historic Nan River flowing through the center.
Temple District
Possible glimpse of the Wat Phra Si Rattana Mahathat temple grounds during the final approach into PHS.
The right side is ideal for morning flights. As the plane descends into Phitsanulok, keep an eye out for the Nan River cutting through the city. During the dry season (Nov-Feb), the visual contrast between the harvest-ready fields and the riverbanks is particularly striking.

Greater Bangkok
Bird's-eye view of Nonthaburi and Pathum Thani's sprawling suburbs during the initial climb out of Don Mueang.
Central Plains
Expansive 'Rice Bowl' landscapes featuring a patchwork of emerald green or golden yellow rice paddies depending on the season.
Chao Phraya River
Deeply meandering bends of Thailand's principal river as it winds through the agricultural heartland.
Nakhon Sawan Confluence
Spot the meeting point of the Ping and Nan rivers where they join to form the Great Chao Phraya.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh tropical sun glare. This side is better for observing the intricate irrigation canals and the wider river loops. Look for the massive Bueng Boraphet swamp near Nakhon Sawan.
