Mergui Archipelago
An incredible chain of hundreds of granite and limestone islands covered in thick tropical vegetation.
Coral Reef Lagoons
Crystal clear turquoise rings surrounding the islands, indicating healthy coral reef systems below.
Pristine White Beaches
Isolated, crescent-shaped white sand beaches on remote islands that are largely inaccessible by land.
Lampi Marine National Park
A massive, ecologically significant island known for its biodiversity and Moken (Sea Gypsy) settlements.
Traditional Fishing Vessels
Small clusters of fishing boats and sea nomad rafts dotting the deep blue channels between islands.
The right side is essential for the world-class island views this route is famous for. Afternoon flights provide the best lighting for photography, as the sun will be behind or above the plane, illuminating the turquoise lagoons perfectly. A window seat away from the wing is highly recommended for an unobstructed view of the archipelago.

Tanintharyi Mountain Range
The dense, jungle-clad peaks that form the backbone of the narrow coastal strip bordering Thailand.
Coastal Mangrove Forests
Extensive emerald green mangrove ecosystems lining the intricate river mouths and estuaries.
Bokpyin Estuary
View of the major river outlets near Bokpyin, where silt creates unique patterns in the coastal waters.
Tropical Rainforests
Vast stretches of primary rainforest and rubber plantations typical of the Southern Tanintharyi region.
Sit on the left if you prefer viewing the rugged mainland geography. Morning flights are ideal to see the sun rising over the Tanintharyi mountains, though it may create some glare early on. Watch for the transition from dense jungle to coastal wetlands.
