REP → DMK
Which side of the plane to sit from Siem Reap International Airport (Siem-reap) to Don Mueang International Airport (Bangkok)?
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.
Search flights from REP to DMK
Angkor Wat
The world-famous temple complex and its massive moat are often visible within minutes of takeoff.
Phnom Kulen
The forested ridges of the sacred mountain range that served as the ancient capital of the Khmer Empire.
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.
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.

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