Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior panoramic perspective of the Gulf of Martaban, the dramatic limestone topography of western Thailand, and a more detailed view of the Bangkok metropolitan skyline during the final descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
✨

Shwedagon Pagoda

A rare chance to see the golden icon of Yangon shimmering from above during initial climb.

🌊

Gulf of Martaban

The striking transition where the Irrawaddy silt meets the deep blue of the Andaman Sea.

💧

Khao Laem Reservoir

A massive, bright blue man-made lake nestled within the limestone karsts of Kanchanaburi.

⛰️

Tenasserim Hills

The spine of the Thai-Malay peninsula, offering dramatic ridges and deep valley views.

🏙️

Bangkok Cityscape

A sweeping view of the Chao Phraya River and the dense skyscraper clusters of the CBD during approach.

The right side is best for afternoon flights to avoid direct sunlight. During the final 15 minutes of the flight, keep your eyes peeled for the distinct bends of the Chao Phraya River and the massive Phra Pathom Chedi in the distance to the west.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Bago River Delta

Complex wetland ecosystems and agricultural patterns just east of Yangon city.

⛰️

Dawna Range

Densely forested mountain peaks that define the rugged border between Myanmar and Thailand.

🌾

Central Thai Plains

A vast, shimmering patchwork of rice paddies crisscrossed by ancient canal systems.

🏗️

Pathum Thani Hub

The expanding urban industrial landscape and large university campuses north of Bangkok.

Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind the aircraft, providing better lighting for the lush green landscapes of the Dawna Range. Watch for the silver reflection of the Sittaung River shortly after takeoff.
