Which side of the plane to sit from Don Mueang International Airport (Bangkok) to Yangon International Airport (Yangon)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior vantage point for witnessing the transition from Bangkok's urban sprawl to the rugged border mountains and the dramatic silty coastline of the Gulf of Martaban.

Chao Phraya River
Aerial views of the iconic river's loops and the sprawling Bangkok skyline immediately after takeoff.
Tenasserim Mountains
Dense, misty tropical forest canopies covering the rugged border range between Thailand and Myanmar.
Gulf of Martaban
The striking visual of the Andaman Sea's tea-colored silty waters meeting the Burmese coastline.
Irrawaddy Delta Fringe
Vibrant green rice paddies and a complex network of irrigation canals as you descend into Yangon.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. During the final descent, keep a sharp eye out for the golden glint of the Shwedagon Pagoda in the distance, which is often visible if the plane approaches from the east. This side is also best for capturing the dramatic color change of the coastal waters during the monsoon season.

Don Mueang Layout
A clear view of the airport's unique layout and the RTAF base during the initial climb out.
Dawna Range
View of the interior mountainous terrain and deep valleys of Eastern Myanmar's Kayin State.
Salween River
Glimpses of the powerful Salween River as it winds through the northern hills toward the sea.
Northern Yangon Suburbs
The rapid urbanization and industrial development zones on the northern outskirts of the capital.
The right side is excellent for afternoon flights as the sun will be on the opposite side, providing clear, shadow-rich views of the mountain ridges. It offers a more industrial perspective of Yangon's expansion. Ensure your window is clean as the high-altitude mountain views are perfect for long-range photography.
