Bangkok Cityscape
Panoramic views of the Chao Phraya River and the dense urban sprawl of the Thai capital.
Khao Sam Roi Yot
Dramatic limestone karsts and coastal marshes located along the Prachuap Khiri Khan coastline.
Strait of Malacca
One of the world's busiest shipping lanes becomes visible with dozens of cargo ships during descent.
Putrajaya Landmarks
Stunning views of the pink-domed Putra Mosque and the Perdana Putra during the landing pattern into KUL.
The Right Side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid harsh sunlight. Request a seat forward of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Putrajaya administrative center, which is frequently visible when the aircraft approaches Kuala Lumpur from the north.

Gulf of Thailand
Expansive views of the turquoise waters and distant fishing fleets shortly after takeoff.
Samui Archipelago
A bird's-eye view of the popular islands of Ko Samui, Ko Phangan, and Ko Tao mid-flight.
Titiwangsa Range
The lush, cloud-shrouded mountain spine of Peninsular Malaysia as you head south.
Choose the left side for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise over the Gulf, though be prepared for potential glare. This side is also excellent for spotting the scattered islands of Southern Thailand if the flight path remains slightly offshore.
