Which side of the plane to sit from Don Mueang International Airport (Bangkok) to Trang Airport (Trang)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side offers a more dramatic landscape transition, featuring the dense jungle-covered Tenasserim Hills and the iconic limestone karst formations that define the Southern Thai landscape as you approach Trang.
Kaeng Krachan Jungle
Sprawling views of Thailand's largest national park with its dense, mist-covered mountain ridges.
Tenasserim Range
Rugged mountains forming the natural border between Thailand and Myanmar to the west.
Khao Sok Landmarks
Occasional distant views of the limestone towers and reservoirs in the Khao Sok area.
Southern Karst Formations
Dramatic limestone cliffs and hills that emerge from the flat landscape as the plane prepares to land.
Andaman Sea Glimpses
On clear days, the distant horizon reveals the sparkle of the Andaman Sea and its scattered islands.
The right side is superior for geological enthusiasts; the karst formations near Trang are spectacular during the descent. Try to book a seat behind the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the view of the dramatic mountain ranges near the Myanmar border.
Chao Phraya Delta
Aerial views of the winding river meeting the sea just after departure from Don Mueang.
Gulf of Thailand Coast
Continuous views of the eastern coastline of the Malay Peninsula throughout the mid-flight.
Prachuap Khiri Khan Bays
Striking views of the curved bays and coastal hills near the narrowest point of Thailand.
Khao Luang Range
The highest peaks of Southern Thailand visible as the flight crosses towards the west coast.
Rubber Plantations
Vast, orderly grids of rubber and palm oil plantations during the final descent into Trang.
Sit on the left side during morning flights (typically 07:00–10:00) to avoid direct sunlight and get the best lighting for coastal photography. Look out for the distinctive 'S' shapes of the river mouths south of Bangkok shortly after takeoff.
