KOP → DMK
Which side of the plane to sit from Nakhon Phanom Airport (Nakhon Phanom) to Don Mueang International Airport (Bangkok)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a stunning view of the Mekong River winding along the border with Laos immediately after departure, followed by the vast agricultural patchwork of the Isan plateau and a better angle of the Bangkok skyline during the descent.

Mekong River Border
Dramatic views of the massive Mekong River which serves as the natural international border between Thailand and Laos.
Phu Phan Mountain Range
Rolling forested hills that contrast sharply with the surrounding flat agricultural plains of the Northeast.
Khorat Plateau Paddies
Endless grids of rice fields that change from vibrant green to golden yellow depending on the harvest season.
Bangkok Urban Sprawl
A panoramic perspective of the dense city center and high-rise buildings as the aircraft aligns for its final approach.
Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is particularly scenic during the rainy season (June to October) when the Mekong is full and the rice paddies are at their most vibrant green. Keep your camera ready in the first 5 minutes for river views and the last 10 minutes for the city.

Sakon Nakhon Agricultural Basin
View of the rural heartland of Northeast Thailand, dotted with small villages and irrigation ponds.
Pa Sak Jolasid Dam
A massive reservoir in Lopburi province that appears as a vast inland sea amidst the central plains.
Pathum Thani Canals
The intricate 'khlong' network of Central Thailand, showcasing traditional waterway-based urban planning.
Kantarat Golf Club
The famous and highly unusual golf course situated directly between the two runways at Don Mueang Airport.
The right side is the best choice for afternoon or evening flights to catch the sunset over the central plains. Look for the Pa Sak Jolasid Dam roughly 20 minutes before landing. As the plane touches down at DMK, look out the window to spot golfers playing right next to the taxiways.
