Which side of the plane to sit from Suvarnabhumi Airport (Bangkok) to Nanning Wuxu Airport (Nanning)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the lush mountain ranges in Northern Laos and the iconic limestone karst formations of the Guangxi region as you approach Nanning.
Khao Yai National Park
The dense, mountainous jungles of Thailand's oldest national park visible to the east during the initial climb.
Annamite Mountains
Distal views of the dramatic mountain chain that separates Laos and Vietnam, often shrouded in misty clouds.
Guangxi Karst Peaks
The breathtaking limestone pillar formations typical of Southern China, becoming visible about 20-30 minutes before landing.
Nanning Rural Outskirts
Beautiful rural landscapes featuring traditional villages nestled between steep hills and winding river valleys.
Morning flights provide excellent lighting for photographing the Karst mountains. Choose a window seat away from the wing to fully capture the dramatic descent into Nanning. Seasonal fog in winter can obscure mountain views, so clear summer or autumn days are ideal.
Bangkok Cityscape
Aerial view of the sprawling Bangkok metropolis and the Chao Phraya River winding through the city shortly after takeoff.
Central Thailand Plains
A vast patchwork of emerald-green rice paddies and intricate irrigation canals stretching across the Thai heartland.
Mekong River
The mighty Mekong River carving through the landscape, marking the border between Thailand and Laos.
Luang Prabang Range
View of the rugged, forest-covered mountains of Northern Laos as the flight heads northeast toward the Chinese border.
Sit in the forward section to avoid wing obstruction of the Mekong River crossing. For evening flights, this side offers the best views of the sunset over the Indochinese peninsula. Watch for the city lights of Nanning during night arrivals.
