DMK → UNN
Which side of the plane to sit from Don Mueang International Airport (Bangkok) to Ranong Airport (Ranong)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior vantage point for witnessing the dramatic transition from the urban sprawl of Bangkok to the geometric salt pans of the coast, the rugged Tenasserim mountain range, and the lush, rain-drenched mangroves of Ranong.

Bangkok Urban Sprawl
Aerial views of the densely packed city and the winding Chao Phraya River immediately after takeoff.
Samut Sakhon Salt Pans
Colorful geometric patterns of coastal salt evaporation ponds and aquaculture farms near the shoreline.
Tenasserim Range
The rugged, jungle-clad mountains that form the natural border between Thailand and Myanmar.
Kra Isthmus
The narrowest point of the Malay Peninsula, where the land bridge between the Gulf and the Andaman Sea is most visible.
Ranong Mangrove Forests
A spectacular final descent over one of Thailand's most preserved and expansive mangrove ecosystems.
The right side is the 'scenic' choice for this route. For the best experience, book an afternoon flight to see the mountains illuminated, but be prepared for some sun glare. During the rainy season (May-October), watch for dramatic cloud formations building over the Myanmar border mountains.

Gulf of Thailand
Expansive views of the deep blue waters and the occasional cargo ship entering the Bangkok port area.
Prachuap Khiri Khan Bays
Clear views of the distinctive curved bays and limestone karsts along the eastern coastline of the peninsula.
Morning Horizon
On early morning flights, enjoy the sunrise over the sea with stunning light reflections on the water's surface.
Ko Phaluai & Distant Islands
Distant sightings of the small islands dotting the Gulf as the plane tracks south toward the Kra Isthmus.
Sit on the left for morning departures to capture the sunrise over the Gulf. This side is typically quieter visually as it faces the open sea for much of the cruise, making it ideal if you want to avoid the harsh afternoon glare from the western sun.
