Andaman Islands
Aerial glimpses of the remote and beautiful Andaman and Nicobar island chain.
Mergui Archipelago
Over 800 tropical islands scattered across the turquoise waters off the coast of Myanmar.
Andaman Sea Coast
The dramatic meeting of white sands and limestone cliffs as you enter Thai airspace.
Samut Sakhon Salt Pans
Distinctive colorful geometric salt evaporation ponds seen during the descent.
Bangkok Skyline
A sweeping view of the Chao Phraya River and the dense urban sprawl of the capital.
The Right Side is the clear winner for island spotting. Try to book a flight that arrives mid-afternoon; the sun will be behind the aircraft, illuminating the turquoise waters of the Mergui Archipelago perfectly. Keep your camera ready as you cross the coastline near Samut Sakhon for unique agricultural patterns.
