SUBDMK

Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the Bangkok city skyline and the Chao Phraya River during the final descent, alongside early views of the Madura Strait and potential glimpses of Borneo's coastline.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🏝️

Madura Island

Clear views of the Madura Strait and the coastline of Madura Island immediately after departing Surabaya.

🌳

Kalimantan Horizon

On clear days, the distant coastline and river deltas of Indonesian Borneo (Kalimantan) are visible across the Java Sea.

🏙️

Bangkok Urban Sprawl

An expansive view of the Thai capital's dense skyline and the winding Chao Phraya River during the final approach to DMK.

🚤

Gulf of Thailand

Deep blue waters dotted with fishing fleets and cargo ships entering the busy ports near Bangkok.

The right side is ideal for morning flights, providing excellent lighting for photos of the Bangkok cityscape. Watch for the 'Green Lung' (Bang Kachao) bend in the river just before landing at Don Mueang.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌋

East Java Volcanoes

Distant views of the dramatic volcanic peaks of East Java, including Mount Arjuno, shortly after takeoff.

🚢

Riau Archipelago

Glimpses of the scattered islands near the Singapore Strait and the busy maritime traffic in the South China Sea.

🏖️

Gulf of Thailand Coastline

Scenic views of the Thai coastline near Hua Hin and Phetchaburi as the aircraft begins its northern descent.

Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the setting sun over the Gulf. This side is also better for spotting the dense island clusters of the Riau region during the mid-flight segment.
