Our Recommendation
8.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers superior views of the Gulf of Thailand's eastern coastline during departure and a more scenic perspective of the Brunei coastline, Muara Port, and Brunei Bay during the approach.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🏙️

Bangkok Skyline

Aerial view of the eastern suburbs and the modern infrastructure of Suvarnabhumi Airport during the initial climb.

🌊

Gulf of Thailand

Vast stretches of turquoise water and the bustling shipping lanes leading to the industrial ports of Rayong.

⚓

Muara Port

Brunei's primary maritime gateway, featuring massive container ships and industrial infrastructure along the coast.

🏝️

Brunei Bay

A complex network of mangrove islands and river estuaries that define the border between Brunei and Malaysia.

Choose a seat forward of the wing for unobstructed views of the coastline. For the most vibrant water colors, aim for a mid-morning departure when the sun is high but not directly overhead. Watch for the Temburong Bridge, a massive engineering feat crossing Brunei Bay.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🚤

Chao Phraya Delta

The intricate winding of the river mouth and the lush Bang Kachao 'Green Lung' area south of Bangkok.

🏖️

Gulf Islands

Distant views of the popular tourist islands like Koh Samui and Koh Phangan depending on the flight corridor.

🌳

Borneo Rainforest

Dense, ancient tropical canopy stretching across the Sarawak border as the plane transitions from sea to land.

🕌

Istana Nurul Iman

The world's largest residential palace, potentially visible near the Brunei River during the final descent into BWN.

This side is ideal for afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the South China Sea. During the approach, keep your eyes peeled for the golden domes of Brunei's famous mosques, which often catch the light beautifully against the green landscape.
