PRH → DMK
Which side of the plane to sit from Phrae Airport (Phrae) to Don Mueang International Airport (Bangkok)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers spectacular views of the winding Yom River upon departure and the historic confluence of the Ping and Nan rivers at Nakhon Sawan during the descent.
Yom River Meanders
Intricate, snake-like loops of the Yom River as it flows south from Phrae through the valley.
Nakhon Sawan Confluence
The dramatic point where the Ping and Nan rivers merge to officially form the Chao Phraya River.
The Rice Bowl
The flat, fertile central plains of Thailand, showcasing a geometric patchwork of irrigation canals and fields.
Pathum Thani Golf Courses
Numerous manicured green golf courses and luxury housing estates visible during the final approach to DMK.
DMK Approach
Excellent views of the airport's unique layout, including the golf course situated between the runways.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun will be on the opposite side. Keep your camera ready about 20-25 minutes into the flight for the Nakhon Sawan river confluence, which is a major geographical landmark.
Phi Pan Nam Range
Observation of the rugged, forested mountain ranges that define the landscape of Northern Thailand.
Phrae Basin
Vast stretches of emerald green rice paddies and rural villages nestled in the valley floor.
Pa Sak Jolasid Dam
Occasional distant views of the expansive reservoir surface reflecting sunlight during the mid-flight phase.
Pathum Thani Urbanization
The rapid transition from agricultural land to the dense industrial and residential outskirts of Greater Bangkok.
Sit on the left during early morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the rising sun. This side provides a better perspective of the mountainous terrain bordering the Phrae province.
