Chao Phraya Estuary
A stunning view of the river winding through Bangkok and Samut Prakan before meeting the sea.
Samut Sakhon Salt Farms
Intricate, multi-colored rectangular grids of salt evaporation ponds along the coast.
Gulf of Thailand
Vast stretches of turquoise water dotted with cargo ships and traditional Thai fishing vessels.
Prachuap Khiri Khan Coast
Visuals of white sandy beaches and the distinctive curved bays of the southern upper peninsula.
Bandon Bay
Rich aquaculture landscapes including shrimp farms and mangroves during the final descent.
Book an early morning flight for a spectacular sunrise over the Gulf of Thailand. Sit ahead of the wing (Rows 5-12) to ensure an unobstructed view of the coastline. During the monsoon season (Oct-Dec), the sea views are often clearer early in the day before clouds build up.
