Which side of the plane to sit from Roi Et Airport (Roi Et) to Don Mueang International Airport (Bangkok)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is generally superior for the approach into Bangkok, offering iconic views of the Chao Phraya River's meanders and the transition from the rural central plains to the sprawling urban landscape of Don Mueang.

Chi River Bends
The winding loops of the Chi River provide a silver contrast against the agricultural fields near the start of the journey.
Pa Sak Jolasid Dam
A massive reservoir in the distance that looks like an inland sea, surrounded by the limestone karst hills of Lopburi.
Ayutthaya Basin
The historical heartland of Thailand, featuring a complex network of ancient canals and modern irrigation systems.
Chao Phraya River
The 'River of Kings' comes into full view with its dramatic 'S' curves as the aircraft descends towards Pathum Thani.
RTAF Golf Course
A unique perspective of the Kantarat Golf Club, situated famously between the two main runways of Don Mueang Airport.
The right side is best for afternoon flights to keep the sun behind you, providing better lighting for photos. As the plane descends into the Bangkok basin, watch for the massive Chao Phraya River. If the flight lands from the north, you will get a perfect view of the golf course located right in the middle of the airport's taxiways.

Roi Et Landmark
Spot the 101-meter tall standing Buddha (Phra Phuttha Ratana Mongkhon Maha Muni) and Phalan Chai Lake shortly after takeoff.
Khorat Plateau Mosaic
The geometric beauty of Isan's rice paddies, which shift from emerald green in the monsoon to golden hues during harvest.
Khao Yai National Park
On clear days, the distant dark green ridges of the Dong Phayayen-Khao Yai Forest Complex are visible on the southern horizon.
Eastern Suburbs
The dense industrial and residential expansion of Samut Prakan and eastern Bangkok as the flight nears its destination.
Choose the left side for morning flights (before 10:00 AM) to avoid the direct glare of the sun. Keep your camera ready immediately after takeoff from Roi Et to capture the city's unique circular layout and massive Buddha statue. During the dry season, look for the shimmering salt flats that sometimes appear in the rural landscape.
