What does the Siem-reap to Pakse flight path pass over?

The flight path crosses northeast over the Tonlé Sap Lake's eastern arm, then transitions into the forested highlands of central Laos. The Dangrek Mountains form a low ridge to the north (not directly on the flight path but visible on the horizon). The terrain gradually rises from the Cambodian plains into Laotian uplands, with scattered river valleys and forest coverage dominating the landscape. No major cities lie directly on the route, but the Mekong River valley becomes increasingly visible as the aircraft descends toward Pakse.
