Gulf of Martaban
Views of the sediment-rich, reddish-brown waters where the Salween River meets the Andaman Sea.
Bilauktaung Range
The densely forested Tenasserim Hills, offering views of remote peaks and deep green valleys.
Gulf of Thailand Coast
Glimpses of the eastern coastline near Trat and the islands dotting the border of Cambodia.
Cardamom Mountains
An expansive view of one of Southeast Asia's largest remaining rainforest wilderness areas.
Phnom Penh Confluence
The spectacular sight of the Tonle Sap and Mekong rivers meeting at the heart of the city during landing.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun will be behind the aircraft, illuminating the Cardamom Mountains perfectly. It offers a more dramatic transition from sea to mountains. During the monsoon season (May-Oct), the rivers look particularly impressive due to high water levels and vibrant sediment colors.

Dawna Range
Crossing the rugged mountain ridges that define the border between Myanmar and Thailand.
Chao Phraya Basin
The intricate patchwork of rice paddies and irrigation canals in the central Thai plains.
Tonle Sap North

Mekong River Crossing
The majestic Mekong River winding through the Cambodian landscape as the flight prepares for descent.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. This side provides the best view of the Shwedagon Pagoda upon departure if the plane takes off towards the south. Keep an eye out for the distinct change in landscape from the mountainous Thai border to the flat, fertile central plains.
