THS â BKK
Which side of the plane to sit from Sukhothai Airport (Sukhothai) to Suvarnabhumi Airport (Bangkok)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides unparalleled views of Thailand's historical trajectory, featuring the UNESCO World Heritage sites of both Sukhothai and Ayutthaya, as well as the significant river confluence at Nakhon Sawan.

Sukhothai Historical Park
The rectangular moat and ruins of the 13th-century capital are often visible shortly after takeoff.
Pak Nam Pho
The distinct confluence where the Ping and Nan rivers merge to form the Chao Phraya in Nakhon Sawan.
Ayutthaya Historical Park
A stunning aerial view of the island city, featuring ancient brick prangs and chedis surrounded by water.
Bangkok Skyline
As the aircraft descends, the dense skyscrapers of Sukhumvit and Sathorn appear on the horizon.
Don Mueang Airport
A clear view of one of the world's oldest international airports, recognizable by its unique runway-adjacent golf course.
The right side is the 'history' side. For the best experience, book an afternoon flight; the western sun hits the ruins of Ayutthaya (about 15-20 minutes before landing), making the red brick structures glow. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff for the Sukhothai ruins.

Yom River Meanders
Watch the serpentine path of the Yom River as it flows through the northern plains.
Rice Bowl Vistas
Vast stretches of emerald green or golden rice paddies depending on the harvest season.
Phetchabun Range
Distant views of the mountain range that separates the central plains from the Isan plateau.
Bang Pakong River
The wide, winding river mouth visible as the plane makes its final approach into Suvarnabhumi.
Select the left side for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise over the mountains without direct glare. This side is typically quieter visually but offers a peaceful perspective of the rural landscape and the eastern periphery of the Bangkok metro area.
