DMK → UBP
Which side of the plane to sit from Don Mueang International Airport (Bangkok) to Ubon Ratchathani Airport (Ubon Ratchathani)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the winding Mun River and the scenic descent into Ubon Ratchathani, along with distant views of the Phanom Dong Rak mountain range.
Bangkok Panorama
A sweeping view of the Bangkok metropolitan area and the Chao Phraya River loop if the flight path turns south after takeoff.
Phanom Dong Rak Range
The dramatic escarpment that marks the natural border between Thailand and Cambodia to the south.
Mun River Meanders
The winding, dark waters of the Mun River, the longest river in Thailand, visible for a large portion of the descent.
Buriram Lakes
Scattered reservoirs and volcanic soil plains typical of the lower Isan region.
Ubon Confluence
A final view of the Mun River meeting its tributaries just before touchdown at UBP.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun will be on the opposite side, providing clear lighting for photography of the Mun River. Watch for the dramatic change in landscape from the wet Central Plains to the drier, sandy soils of the Khorat Plateau. During the rainy season (June-October), this side offers spectacular views of flooded paddy fields reflecting the sky.
Don Mueang North
Bird's-eye view of Pathum Thani's residential clusters and canal systems shortly after takeoff.
Khao Yai Edge
Distant views of the northern ridges of the Khao Yai National Park mountain range.
Lam Takhong Reservoir
Glittering views of the large reservoir and the surrounding wind turbines near Nakhon Ratchasima.
Isan Heartland
The geometric patterns of the vast Khorat Plateau agricultural plains stretching toward the horizon.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare while viewing the mountain silhouettes of the Khao Yai range. This side provides a great perspective of the high-speed rail construction and major highway arteries connecting Bangkok to the Northeast.
