Khao Yai National Park
Breathtaking views of the UNESCO World Heritage site's dense forest canopies and rugged mountain ridges.
Lam Takhong Reservoir
A massive, deep blue body of water nestled in the valley, serving as a major visual landmark near Nakhon Ratchasima.
Khao Yai Wind Farm
Spot the rows of towering white wind turbines spinning on the ridges near Sikhio, a testament to Thailand's green energy.
Wat Phra Dhammakaya
The enormous, golden, UFO-shaped temple complex in Pathum Thani is clearly visible during the descent into Bangkok.
Chao Phraya River
The 'River of Kings' provides a stunning backdrop with its wide bends and industrial ports just before landing.
The right side is the 'landmark side.' For the best experience, book a morning flight when the sun illuminates the Khao Yai mountains and the reservoir from the east. Keep your camera ready about 30-40 minutes into the flight for the reservoir and wind turbines. If the plane lands on Runway 21, you will get a spectacular view of the northern suburbs and the Pathum Thani temple complexes.

Mun River Meanders
Catch immediate views of the winding Mun River as it snakes through the Ubon Ratchathani landscape shortly after takeoff.
Isan Rice Paddies
Vast stretches of agricultural patchwork quilts reflecting the changing seasons of the Khorat Plateau.
Phanom Dong Rak Range
On clear days, look south to see the distant mountain range that forms the natural border between Thailand and Cambodia.
Bangkok Skyline
During the descent, witness the dense cluster of skyscrapers in Sukhumvit and Silom shimmering in the distance.
Don Mueang Golf Course
A unique view of the Kantarat Golf Club situated right between the two runways at DMK during the final touchdown.
Sit on the left for evening flights (typically 4:30 PM onwards) to avoid the direct glare of the setting sun. This side is also best for spotting the sprawling urban density of central Bangkok if the flight approaches from the north. Aim for a seat in front of or behind the wing (Rows 1-10 or 25+) to ensure an unobstructed view of the Isan plains.
