Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a stunning coastal journey along the Gulf of Thailand, culminating in a panoramic view of the Chao Phraya River delta and the dense Bangkok skyline during the descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏖️

Gulf of Thailand Coast

A continuous view of the turquoise shoreline and white sand beaches stretching toward the north.

🌊

Songkhla Lake

The massive lagoon system near Hat Yai, visible shortly after reaching cruising altitude.

⛱️

Hua Hin Coastline

The popular resort town of Hua Hin and its long sandy beaches visible as the Gulf narrows.

🚤

Chao Phraya Delta

The mouth of the 'River of Kings' where the muddy river waters meet the blue sea.

🏢

Bangkok City Center

A spectacular bird's-eye view of Sukhumvit, Silom, and the dense skyscraper clusters before landing.

The right side is unbeatable for morning flights to witness the sunrise over the ocean. During the landing phase at DMK, this side typically provides the most iconic views of the Bangkok skyline and the winding Chao Phraya River. Sit behind the wing for the clearest views.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🌾

Narathiwat Wetlands

Lush green agricultural plains and tropical wetlands surrounding the airport upon departure.

⛰️

Khao Luang Range

Views of the highest peaks in Southern Thailand rising from the Nakhon Si Thammarat mountain chain.

🌄

Tenasserim Hills

The rugged mountain border between Thailand and Myanmar visible in the distance to the west.

🧂

Samut Sakhon Salt Farms

Intricate white and blue geometric grids of salt evaporation ponds as the plane nears Bangkok.

🏙️

Thon Buri District

The suburban expansion and canal networks of Western Bangkok during the final approach.

Choose the left side for afternoon flights to enjoy the landscape without the direct glare of the sun. It is particularly scenic during the rainy season when the inland mountains are vibrant green and cloud formations are dramatic over the hills.
