Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of Thailand's central river systems, including the famous confluence in Nakhon Sawan and the stunning ancient ruins of Ayutthaya during the descent into Bangkok.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🛶

Pak Nam Pho Confluence

Watch the distinct colors of the Ping and Nan rivers merge to officially form the Chao Phraya River at Nakhon Sawan.

🌊

Chao Phraya Meanders

Follow the dramatic loops and oxbow bends of Thailand's 'River of Kings' as it flows south.

🏯

Ayutthaya Historical Park

A breathtaking view of the UNESCO World Heritage site's ancient prangs and temple ruins from several thousand feet.

⛳

Kantarat Golf Club

An unusual sight on final approach: a golf course situated directly between the two active runways of Don Mueang.

Sit on the right side for the best photography opportunities of the river systems. During late afternoon flights, you will experience a beautiful sunset over the central plains. Keep your camera ready about 10 minutes before landing for a clear view of the Ayutthaya ruins.

Left Side Highlights
6.8
🏙️

Phitsanulok Cityscape

Aerial views of the urban center and the Nan River winding through the city immediately after departure.

💧

Bueng Boraphet

The largest freshwater swamp and lake in central Thailand, visible as a vast body of water near Nakhon Sawan.

🌾

Central Plains Mosaic

Endless patterns of rice paddies that change from emerald green to golden yellow depending on the harvest season.

🏘️

Pathum Thani Suburbs

The dense residential sprawl and housing estates marking the entry into the Greater Bangkok Area.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. Look out for the shimmering waters of Bueng Boraphet approximately 15 to 20 minutes after takeoff. This side is better for seeing the rural landscape transition into urban density.
