LPT → BKK
Which side of the plane to sit from Lampang Airport (Lampang) to Suvarnabhumi Airport (Bangkok)?
Left Side of the Plane
The Left Side is generally preferred for this route as it offers better perspectives of the mountainous transition into the central plains and superior views of the Bangkok skyline and Don Mueang Airport during the standard approach patterns into Suvarnabhumi.

Doi Khun Tan Range
Lush green mountain ridges visible immediately after departure from Lampang.
Pasak Jolasid Reservoir
A massive earthen dam and reservoir that creates a stunning blue contrast against the green landscape.
Don Mueang Airport
Often visible during the descent, providing a unique aerial view of Bangkok's secondary international hub.
Bangkok City Center
Panoramic views of the dense skyscraper clusters in Sukhumvit and Sathorn as the plane maneuvers for landing.
Chao Phraya River
The winding 'River of Kings' cutting through the heart of the capital during the final approach.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and get the best lighting on the landscape. During the descent, keep your camera ready for the 'Bangkok loop' where the aircraft often circles over the city, offering a bird's-eye view of the dense urban sprawl and the Chao Phraya River. In the dry season (Nov-Feb), visibility is usually best in the early morning before the haze builds up.

Wang River Valley
Beautiful views of the river basin surrounding Lampang city shortly after takeoff.
Central Plains Mosaic
The 'Rice Bowl of Asia' reveals a geometric patchwork of emerald green and golden yellow paddy fields.
Western Horizon
Exceptional views of the sunset over the distant Tenasserim Hills on late afternoon flights.
Eastern Seaboard
Distant views of the industrial corridors and suburban expansion of the Greater Bangkok Area.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights (4:00 PM onwards) to witness spectacular tropical sunsets over the central plains. If the flight approaches Suvarnabhumi from the south, you may see the Gulf of Thailand and the Bang Pu coastal area. Be aware that the afternoon sun can be very intense on this side, making the cabin quite warm.
