Which side of the plane to sit from Myeik Airport (Myeik) to Dawei Airport (Dawei)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers spectacular views of the Andaman Sea and the northern fringes of the Myeik Archipelago, featuring turquoise waters and scattered tropical islands.
Kadan Kyun
Aerial view of the largest island in the archipelago, showcasing its rugged peaks and dense jungle canopy.
Andaman Coastline
Continuous views of the pristine coastline with hidden white sand beaches and coral reefs visible through clear water.
Mangrove Forests
Intricate, labyrinthine patterns of green mangrove ecosystems where the land meets the sea.
Myeik Fishing Fleets
Small traditional fishing vessels creating white wakes across the deep blue surface of the ocean.
Choose the left side for morning flights to have the sun behind you, revealing the true colors of the coral reefs and sandbars. Use a polarized lens for photography to cut through the water's surface reflection.
Tanintharyi Range
The dramatic, undulating peaks of the mountain range that forms the natural border between Myanmar and Thailand.
Tanintharyi River
The winding path of the river as it snakes through the valley before reaching the sea near Myeik.
Rubber Plantations
Symmetrical patterns of vast agricultural estates stretching across the low-lying coastal plains.
Dawei Outskirts
The transition from dense forest to the traditional stilt-house villages on the approach to Dawei.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to catch the golden hour light hitting the Tanintharyi Hills. Be aware that during the monsoon season (June-September), the mountains are often obscured by thick cloud banks.
