CNX

When landing at Chiang Mai International Airport (CNX), sit on the Left side for the best views. Landing on runway 36 means approaching from the south and flying north, so the left side faces west. That's where Doi Suthep mountain rises sharply above the Chiang Mai valley, often visible with its distinctive ridge line as you descend over the city. Notable sights include: Doi Suthep mountain, Chiang Mai city grid and old moated quarter, Ping River valley, surrounding agricultural patchwork in the valley floor.
