Which side of the plane to sit from Krabi Airport (Krabi) to Don Mueang International Airport (Bangkok)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers the most dramatic views of Krabi's iconic limestone karsts during departure and provides a better perspective of the scenic coastline and mountain ranges bordering Myanmar during the cruise phase.
Krabi Limestone Karsts
Spectacular views of the jagged limestone cliffs and lush green mangroves immediately after takeoff from Krabi.
Tenasserim Range
The rugged mountain spine forming the natural border between Thailand and Myanmar is visible to the west.
Hua Hin Coastline
Clear views of the popular resort town's long white sandy beaches and urban development as you fly north.
Samut Sakhon Salt Pans
Intricate geometric patterns of white salt evaporation ponds create a unique patchwork landscape during descent.
Don Mueang Golf Course
The unique sight of Kantarat Golf Club located right between the two parallel runways of Don Mueang Airport.
For the best experience, book a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the mountains and coastline perfectly. During the rainy season (June to October), choose early morning departures to avoid the clouds that typically build up over the western mountains by mid-afternoon.
Gulf of Thailand
An expansive view of the turquoise waters dotted with cargo ships and local fishing vessels.
Ang Thong Marine Park
On very clear days, you may spot the distant silhouettes of the islands near Koh Samui to the east.
Chao Phraya Estuary
The massive mouth of the 'River of Kings' where it empties into the sea, showing the scale of Bangkok's waterways.
Bangkok Metropolis
A sprawling view of the dense urban fabric of the capital as the plane aligns for its final approach.
Erawan Museum
Look for the giant three-headed elephant copper statue in Samut Prakan during the lower stages of descent.
The right side is fantastic for late afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the horizon. It also offers a better view of the shipping lanes and industrial ports of Samut Prakan. Be aware that haze in the Bangkok basin can sometimes obscure distant city landmarks.
