Which side of the plane to sit from Suvarnabhumi Airport (Bangkok) to Fuzhou Changle International Airport (Fuzhou)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the sprawling Southeast Asian mainland and the dramatic, rugged coastline of Fujian Province. As you approach Fuzhou, the view of mainland China's mountainous terrain and major cities like Xiamen is stunning.
Bangkok Cityscape
Immediately after takeoff, witness the massive sprawl of Bangkok and the winding Chao Phraya River.
Annamite Range
Cross the dense, mist-covered mountains that form the natural border between Laos and Vietnam.
Red River Delta Fringe
Catch glimpses of the vibrant green agricultural patterns of Northern Vietnam's coastal plains.
Xiamen Skyline
As the flight nears its destination, the dense high-rises and bridges of Xiamen are often visible.
Fujian Highlands
The final descent offers views of the rolling tea-growing hills and terraced landscapes of rural Fujian.
For day flights, the left side avoids the harshest direct sunlight when flying northeast. During evening flights, you may catch a spectacular sunset over the Asian mainland. Look out for the massive bridge networks connecting coastal islands near the Fujian-Guangdong border.
Gulf of Thailand
Early in the flight, see the deep blue waters and cargo ships departing from the Laem Chabang port.
Da Nang Coastline
Depending on the specific airway, the beautiful white sand beaches of Central Vietnam can be seen.
Hainan Island
Pass by the southern tip or eastern coast of China's tropical island province, Hainan.
Taiwan Strait Traffic
Observe one of the world's busiest shipping lanes with dozens of vessels visible on a clear day.
Fuzhou Outer Islands
The approach over the East China Sea reveals the rocky, wind-swept islands guarding the entrance to Fuzhou.
The right side is excellent for maritime enthusiasts as the flight path largely parallels the busy shipping corridors of the South China Sea. If flying in the morning, be prepared for significant glare as the sun rises over the Pacific. Keep an eye out for small coral atolls during the mid-flight segment.
