Phu Laen Kha Range
The rugged hills and sandstone formations near Chaiyaphum visible shortly after takeoff.

A highlight of the route; a massive reservoir known for its scenic railway bridge cutting across the water.
Ayutthaya Plains
The historic heartland of Thailand, characterized by ancient temple ruins and winding river bends.
Chao Phraya River
The 'River of Kings' winding through the outskirts of the capital city.
Don Mueang Airport
On clear days, you can often spot the runways of Bangkok's second airport to the west.
