Dawna Range
Rugged mountain ridges surrounding the Mae Sot valley visible immediately after takeoff.
Central Thai Plains
A vast patchwork of agricultural lands stretching as far as the eye can see.
Ayutthaya Historical Park
Aerial perspective of the ancient ruins and temple complexes of the former capital.
Bangkok Skyline
A panoramic view of the capital's skyscrapers appearing on the horizon during descent.
Chao Phraya River
The winding 'River of Kings' appearing as a silver ribbon guiding the path toward the city.
Book a window seat ahead of the wing for unobstructed views. Morning flights (08:00-10:00) offer the crispest visibility of the mountains before the afternoon haze sets in. Keep your camera ready as you pass over Ayutthaya, as the plane usually begins its final descent configuration here.

Myanmar Border
The Moei River carving its way through the landscape, marking the international boundary.
Western Forest Complex
Views of the dense, lush green canopy of Thailand's most significant wildlife sanctuaries.
Suphan Buri Paddies
Perfectly geometric rice fields that change color from vibrant green to gold depending on the season.
Kantarat Golf Club
The unique sight of a golf course situated right between the two runways at Don Mueang.
The right side is ideal for afternoon or sunset flights to witness the sun dipping behind the western mountains. During the rainy season (June-October), this side provides dramatic views of cloud formations over the border ranges. Look down just seconds before touchdown to see golfers playing between the runways.
