UTH → BKK
Which side of the plane to sit from Udon Thani Airport (Udon Thani) to Suvarnabhumi Airport (Bangkok)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is generally more scenic, providing views of the massive Pa Sak Jolasid Dam mid-flight and the spectacular Bangkok skyline and Chao Phraya River during the final descent into Suvarnabhumi.
Pa Sak Jolasid Dam
A massive earth-fill dam and reservoir, often featuring the iconic 'floating' railway bridge.
Bangkok Skyscrapers
Unrivaled views of the capital's dense urban center and modern high-rises during the descent.
Chao Phraya River
The majestic river curves significantly as it nears the Gulf, visible just before landing.
Bang Kachao
The distinctively shaped 'Green Lung' of Bangkok, visible as a massive verdant loop in the river.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to catch the sunset over the central plains. It provides the most consistent views of the Bangkok skyline during the standard landing patterns.
Udon Thani Cityscape
Immediate views of Udon Thani's urban sprawl and landmarks like Nong Prajak Park after departure.
Isan Plateau
A vast tapestry of rice paddies and agricultural grids typical of the Northeastern Thai landscape.
Khao Yai Fringes
The distant forested peaks of the Dong Phayayen-Khao Yai Forest Complex appearing to the south.
Gulf of Thailand
On certain approach paths from the south, views of the coastline and shipping lanes near Chonburi.
Morning flights offer beautiful sunrise views over the Isan plateau. If the wind requires a southern approach to BKK, sit here to see the industrial coast.
