Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a more diverse landscape, featuring the Mekong River border crossing, the rugged Phetchabun mountain ranges, and superior views of the Bangkok urban sprawl during the final descent.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🌊

Mekong River

A spectacular view of the massive Mekong River acting as the international border shortly after takeoff.

⛰️

Phetchabun Mountains

Distant vistas of the emerald-green mountain ridges that separate the Khorat Plateau from the Central Plains.

💧

Pasak Jolasid Dam

One of Thailand's largest reservoirs, offering a beautiful blue contrast to the surrounding greenery.

🌆

Bangkok Skyline

A panoramic view of the capital's high-rise buildings and the winding Chao Phraya River on final approach.

Ideal for late afternoon flights to witness the sunset over Central Thailand. Sit here for the best chance to see the shimmering reservoirs and the dense urban core of Bangkok. During the monsoon season (June-October), this side often provides dramatic views of thunderheads building over the mountains.

Left Side Highlights
6.5
🏙️

Savannakhet Cityscape

A final view of the French colonial architecture and the Second Thai-Lao Friendship Bridge during initial climb.

🌾

Isan Agricultural Plains

Vast, intricate patchwork of rice paddies and rural villages characteristic of Northeastern Thailand.

🏭

Chachoengsao Industrial Hub

Modern industrial landscapes and large-scale logistics centers as the flight enters the Greater Bangkok area.

This side is preferable for morning flights as the sun remains on the right side, reducing glare. It is excellent for photographers interested in the geometric patterns of Southeast Asian agriculture and the transition from rural to industrial zones.
