Which side of the plane to sit from Suvarnabhumi Airport (Bangkok) to Diosdado Macapagal International Airport (Angeles City)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side is preferred for its diverse mix of coastal landscapes, featuring the Gulf of Thailand, the Mekong Delta's river network, and the dramatic turquoise bays of the Vietnamese coast before reaching the Philippines.
Chon Buri Coastline
Clear views of the Gulf of Thailand's eastern seaboard, including the industrial ports and sandy beaches near Pattaya.
Mekong Delta
The intricate network of the 'Nine Dragons' river system as it winds through Southern Vietnam into the sea.
Cam Ranh Bay
One of the finest deep-water harbors in the world, featuring striking blue waters and white sandy peninsulas.
South China Sea
A vast expanse of deep blue water often dotted with large cargo ships along international shipping lanes.
Subic Bay
Excellent views of the former naval base, surrounded by protected rainforests and the Bataan Peninsula.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to catch the sunset over the South China Sea. Watch for the dramatic change in water color as the plane transitions from the shallow Gulf of Thailand to the deep ocean and then back to the reefs of the Philippines.
Eastern Bangkok
Aerial views of the sprawling industrial and residential suburbs of Samut Prakan shortly after takeoff.
Tonle Sap Lake
Distal views of Cambodia's Great Lake, the largest freshwater body in Southeast Asia, depending on the flight corridor.
Annamite Range
Lush, rugged mountain ridges stretching across the border of Laos and Vietnam.
Mount Pinatubo
A spectacular view of the massive volcanic crater and its caldera lake during the final approach into Clark.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is particularly rewarding during the final 15 minutes of the flight for a close-up view of the Zambales mountain range and the famous Pinatubo volcano.
