Which side of the plane to sit from Dawei Airport (Dawei) to Myeik Airport (Myeik)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular vantage point of the Andaman Sea coastline and the northern islands of the Mergui Archipelago, providing a more diverse and iconic landscape than the inland hills.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Andaman Coastline

The dramatic meeting point of the turquoise sea and the lush Burmese coastline.

🏝️

Mali Kyun

Also known as Tavoy Island, this large mountainous island is a major landmark after takeoff.

🚤

Mergui Archipelago

The northern fringes of the world-famous chain consisting of over 800 remote islands.

🌿

Mangrove Estuaries

Intricate tidal forest networks that create complex green patterns along the shore.

⛴️

Myeik Harbor

A bustling view of maritime activity and fishing vessels as the plane descends into Myeik.

The right side is superior for photography as it faces away from the morning sun on this southbound route, reducing window glare. Watch for the distinct silhouette of Mali Kyun shortly after departure. As you approach Myeik, the density of the islands increases significantly, offering a stunning preview of the archipelago's remote beauty.

Left Side Highlights

⛰️

Tanintharyi Range

Rugged peaks that form the natural border between Myanmar and Thailand.

🐍

Tanintharyi River

A winding waterway that snakes through the deep valleys east of the coast.

🌳

Pristine Rainforest

Vast expanses of dense, untouched tropical greenery covering the inland terrain.

🚜

Rural Agriculture

Small-scale palm oil and rubber plantations interspersed with local settlements.

Sit on the left for early morning flights to see the sun rising over the Thai-Burmese mountain border. During the monsoon season (May-October), this side is often obscured by thick clouds clinging to the mountain peaks. Keep an eye out for the Tanintharyi River, which parallels the flight path further inland.
