Which side of the plane to sit from Yangon International Airport (Yangon) to Dawei Airport (Dawei)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a spectacular vantage point for viewing the rugged Tanintharyi mountain range and the intricate river deltas along the eastern coastline.
Yangon Outskirts
Aerial view of the sprawling suburbs and the Bago River immediately after departure.
Salween River Delta
The massive mouth of the Salween River near Mawlamyine where fresh water meets the Andaman Sea.
Tanintharyi Mountains
Dense, evergreen-covered mountain ranges that form the natural border between Myanmar and Thailand.
Rural Landscapes
A patchwork of tropical forests and small agricultural settlements nestled in the valleys.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and get the best contrast on the mountains. Look out for the massive golden pagodas dotting the hills near Mawlamyine about 20-30 minutes into the flight.
Gulf of Martaban
Observe the unique, swirling sediment plumes in the shallow, silt-heavy waters of the gulf.
Andaman Coastline
Unspoiled white sand beaches and rocky coves as the plane tracks south toward Dawei.
Coastal Archipelagos
Small, uninhabited islands and fishing villages scattered along the coastline near Ye.
Dawei Peninsula
The final approach offers views of the fishing fleets and the long, thin strip of land protecting the bay.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to catch the sunset over the Andaman Sea. Watch for the 'color line' where the muddy river water abruptly transitions into the deep blue of the open ocean.
