HKT → UTH
Which side of the plane to sit from Phuket International Airport (Phuket) to Udon Thani Airport (Udon Thani)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is superior for this route as it provides a front-row seat to the dramatic limestone karsts of Phang Nga Bay shortly after takeoff, followed by views of the Gulf of Thailand coastline and the urban expanse of Bangkok.

Phang Nga Bay
Spectacular views of thousands of limestone islands and emerald green waters within the first 10 minutes of flight.
Gulf of Thailand
Clear views of the coastline near Prachuap Khiri Khan where the peninsula narrows significantly.
Bangkok Skyline
On clear days, the dense skyscraper clusters of the capital and the loops of the Chao Phraya River are visible.
Pasak Jolasid Dam
One of Thailand's largest reservoirs, appearing as a massive blue body of water amidst the inland landscape.
Khorat Plateau
The transition into the dry, flat landscape of the Isan region as the flight turns northeast.
For the best experience, book a morning flight to see the sun illuminate the limestone cliffs of Phang Nga Bay. This is the most iconic view of the trip, so have your camera ready immediately after the landing gear retracts. During the descent into Udon Thani, the right side provides a great view of the rural Isan villages and seasonal agricultural patterns.

Phuket West Coast
Aerial views of the white sands of Bang Tao and Kamala beaches during the initial climb.
Khao Sok National Park
Deep green rainforest canopies and rugged mountain ridges visible as you head north over the mainland.
Tenasserim Range
The continuous mountain chain that forms the natural border between Thailand and Myanmar to the west.
Central Plains
A vast patchwork of emerald green rice paddies and agricultural canals extending toward the horizon.
Udon Thani City
Bird's eye view of the city center and the distinctive Nong Prajak Park lake during the descent.
The left side is preferable for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh tropical sun reflecting off the water. It offers a more mountainous perspective, especially over Southern and Central Thailand. Keep an eye out for the winding rivers of the central plains which look like silver threads during the rainy season from June to October.
