Songkhla Lake
Thailand's largest natural lake, featuring a unique lagoon system visible shortly after departure from HDY.
Gulf Archipelago
Clear views of Ko Samui, Ko Pha-ngan, and Ko Tao sparkling in the turquoise waters of the Gulf.
Hua Hin Coastline
The long sandy stretches of Prachuap Khiri Khan and the popular resort town of Hua Hin.
Gulf of Thailand Shipping
Scores of cargo ships and colorful fishing boats dotting the approach to the Chao Phraya delta.
Bangkok Cityscape
A panoramic view of the metropolitan sprawl and the city's skyscrapers during the final turn toward Suvarnabhumi.
The right side is the clear winner for coastal scenery. For the best lighting, choose a morning flight to have the sun behind you. During the rainy season (May-October), keep an eye out for dramatic cloud formations over the Gulf. Ensure you have your camera ready within 5 minutes of takeoff to capture the sprawling Songkhla Lake.
