BKK → KHH
Which side of the plane to sit from Suvarnabhumi Airport (Bangkok) to Kaohsiung International Airport (Kaohsiung)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides an impressive transition from the tropical plains of Thailand to the mountainous regions of Laos and the dense urban sprawl of Hanoi, ending with a great view of Kaohsiung's city center.
Bangkok Metropolis
Aerial views of the Chao Phraya River and Bangkok's dense urban grid immediately after takeoff from Suvarnabhumi.
Laotian Highlands
Rugged, mist-covered mountain ranges in Northern Laos, offering dramatic textures and deep green valleys.
Red River Delta
The intricate patchwork of rice paddies and winding waterways surrounding the city of Hanoi in Northern Vietnam.
Gulf of Tonkin
A scenic transition from the lush coastline of Northern Vietnam into the deep blue expanse of the South China Sea.
Kaohsiung Cityscape
A clear view of the 85 Sky Tower and the urban layout of Taiwan's second-largest city during the final descent.
Select a window seat on the left to capture the dramatic mountain ranges of Northern Laos and the expansive Red River Delta. On the final approach into KHH, this side usually faces the city, providing views of the Love River. Afternoon flights are ideal to avoid direct sunlight while photographing the landscape.
Khorat Plateau
The vast, flat agricultural heartland of Northeast Thailand visible as the flight heads toward the border.
Annamite Range
The long mountain chain forming the border between Laos and Vietnam, characterized by dense, ancient jungles.
Central Vietnam Coast
Views of the South China Sea coastline near Da Nang and the white sands of the Son Tra Peninsula.
Paracel Islands
Possible sightings of remote coral atolls and turquoise reefs depending on the specific seasonal flight corridor.
Kaohsiung Port
Spectacular views of massive container ships and the extensive industrial infrastructure of the harbor during landing.
The right side is perfect for coastal enthusiasts and ship-spotters. You will catch glimpses of the Vietnamese coastline and the busy maritime lanes of the South China Sea. During the landing phase, you will have a front-row seat to one of the world's busiest container ports. Morning flights are recommended on this side for the best lighting.
