REP β†’ DMK

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side is highly recommended for the spectacular aerial views of the Angkor Archaeological Park and its temples shortly after takeoff, as well as the mountainous terrain along the Thai-Cambodia border.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
πŸ›•

Angkor Wat

The world-famous temple complex and its massive moat are often visible within minutes of takeoff.

πŸ”οΈ

Phnom Kulen

The forested ridges of the sacred mountain range that served as the ancient capital of the Khmer Empire.

πŸ—ΊοΈ

International Border

The visible geographic and agricultural transition between the Cambodian and Thai border regions.

🌳

Khao Yai National Park

Distant views of the lush, mountainous terrain of one of Thailand's premier nature reserves.

β›³

DMK Golf Course

A unique view of the Kantarat Golf Club located right between the runways at Don Mueang Airport.

The right side is essential for spotting the Angkor temples; look out the window immediately after takeoff (approx. 3-5 minutes). For the best photography of the ruins, mid-morning flights offer the most balanced lighting without heavy shadows.

Left Side Highlights
7.0
🌊

Tonle Sap Lake

The vast expanse of Southeast Asia's largest freshwater lake visible shortly after departure.

πŸ™οΈ

Siem Reap Cityscape

A clear view of the urban layout and the winding Siem Reap River as you climb.

🌾

Central Thai Plains

Intricate patterns of rice paddies and irrigation canals across the eastern provinces of Thailand.

🚀

Chao Phraya River

The main artery of Thailand winding through the landscape as you approach the capital.

🏒

Bangkok Skyline

The dense cluster of skyscrapers in the distance as the flight descends into the metropolitan area.

Choose this side for morning flights to have the sun behind you while viewing the lake. It is also the better side for seeing the city center skyline in the distance during the final descent into Don Mueang.
