Which side of the plane to sit from Trang Airport (Trang) to Don Mueang International Airport (Bangkok)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers the most consistent views of the Gulf of Thailand coastline and a superior perspective of the Bangkok skyline and the Chao Phraya River during the final approach.
Gulf of Thailand
Expansive views of the turquoise waters, dotted with fishing boats and large cargo vessels.
Hua Hin Coastline
Clear views of the popular resort towns and long stretches of sandy beaches along the western Gulf.
Bang Kachao
The 'Green Lung' of Bangkok, a massive curve in the Chao Phraya River filled with dense vegetation.
Bangkok Urban Core
A breathtaking panorama of the city's skyscrapers and dense urban sprawl during the descent.
Chao Phraya River
Watch the 'River of Kings' snake through the heart of the capital just before touchdown.
The right side is the 'money side' for this route, especially during the landing phase at DMK. For morning flights, this side avoids the direct glare of the sun. The most critical moment is the last 10 minutes of the flight when the plane maneuvers over the Gulf and into the city, offering a spectacular urban display.
Tenasserim Hills
The rugged, forested mountain range that forms the natural border between Thailand and Myanmar.
Khao Sam Roi Yot
Dramatic limestone massifs and peaks rising sharply from the coastal plains of Prachuap Khiri Khan.
Phetchaburi Salt Pans
Intricate, geometric patterns of salt evaporation ponds visible as the flight nears the northern Gulf.
Sunset Horizons
Ideal for evening flights to catch the sun dipping below the western mountain ranges.
Select the left side for late afternoon or evening flights to enjoy the sunset. This side provides a better look at the inland geography and the mountainous spine of the Thai peninsula. Keep an eye out for the unique cloud formations that often cling to the Tenasserim peaks.
