BKK → PNH
Which side of the plane to sit from Suvarnabhumi Airport (Bangkok) to Phnom Penh International Airport (Phnom-penh)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior mix of coastal vistas, the rugged Cardamom Mountains, and the dramatic approach over the Mekong-Tonle Sap river confluence.

Gulf of Thailand
Distant glimpses of the blue waters and the coastal regions of Chonburi and Rayong.
Cardamom Mountains
Rugged, jungle-covered peaks along the border region between Thailand and Cambodia.
Mekong-Tonle Sap Junction
The iconic Chaktomuk where the Mekong, Tonle Sap, and Bassac rivers meet near the city center.
Phnom Penh Skyline
Prime view of the central business district, the Royal Palace, and the Independence Monument during the final approach.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to catch the sun reflecting off the Mekong River. During the final descent, this side provides an unparalleled view of the Royal Palace and the riverside area. The Cardamom Mountains are most impressive in the early morning when mist clings to the peaks.

Bangkok Outskirts

Vast expanses of rice paddies stretching across the Thai-Cambodian border regions.
Tonle Sap Lake
The largest freshwater lake in Southeast Asia is often visible to the north during the mid-flight segment.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. Watch for the massive Tonle Sap Lake about 20 minutes before landing, which changes size significantly between the dry and wet seasons.
