Cardamom Mountains
Rugged, emerald-colored peaks of one of Southeast Asia's last remaining large rainforest corridors.
Gulf of Thailand
The shimmering coastline near Rayong and Chonburi becomes visible as the plane nears Thai airspace.
Chao Phraya River Mouth
The iconic 'Pig's Stomach' bend and the industrial ports of Samut Prakan during the final descent.
Erawan Museum
Look for the massive three-headed elephant statue visible just before touching down at Suvarnabhumi.
Choose the right side for the best approach views. As the flight descends into BKK, you will likely track over the coastline, offering views of the dense shipping traffic and the winding river. Late afternoon flights provide a stunning golden hour reflection off the Gulf.

Phnom Penh Panorama
Aerial view of the capital city's rapid expansion and the confluence of the Mekong and Tonle Sap rivers.
Tonle Sap Basin
Vast views of the fertile floodplains and the distant silhouette of Southeast Asia's largest freshwater lake.
Cambodian Heartland
A geometric patchwork of vibrant green rice paddies and rural villages characteristic of the lowlands.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh southern sun. During the monsoon season (May-Oct), this side provides dramatic views of towering cumulus clouds over the Cambodian plains.
