DMK โ ROI
Which side of the plane to sit from Don Mueang International Airport (Bangkok) to Roi Et Airport (Roi Et)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a more scenic perspective of the Khorat Plateau's transition, featuring the expansive Lam Takhong Reservoir and better views of the urban landscape of Nakhon Ratchasima.
Bangkok Skyline
On clear days with a southern departure, you can see the dense skyscraper clusters of Sukhumvit and Sathorn.
Lam Takhong Reservoir
A stunning turquoise reservoir nestled between hills, marked by the distinctive wind turbines on the ridge.
Mittraphap Highway
Follow the 'Friendship Highway' as it snakes through the mountains, connecting Central Thailand to the Isan region.
Nakhon Ratchasima (Khorat)
The gateway to the northeast, appearing as a massive urban sprawl amidst the surrounding agricultural plains.
Isan Rice Paddies
Endless patchwork of rice fields that change from vivid green to golden yellow depending on the harvest cycle.
Sit behind the wing for an unobstructed view of the Lam Takhong Reservoir, which is the highlight of this route. If flying in late November, the fields below turn a brilliant gold, providing excellent photography opportunities during the 'Golden Hour' on late afternoon flights.
Pathum Thani Suburbs
View the sprawling residential grids and intricate canal systems north of Bangkok shortly after takeoff.
Saraburi Limestone Hills
Rugged karst formations and large-scale quarries visible as the aircraft approaches the central mountain range.
Pa Sak Jolasid Dam
One of Thailand's longest clay-core dams, appearing as a massive blue expanse to the north of the flight path.
Dong Phayayen Forest
The northern fringes of this UNESCO World Heritage site offer a glimpse of dense tropical canopy.
Early morning flights are recommended to avoid the midday haze that often obscures the Saraburi mountains. During the monsoon season (JuneโOctober), look for dramatic cloud formations building over the Pa Sak basin.
