Which side of the plane to sit from Suvarnabhumi Airport (Bangkok) to Siem Reap International Airport (Siem-reap)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a strategic vantage point for the iconic Angkor Wat temple complex and its massive rectangular moats during the final approach descent into Siem Reap.
Northern Bangkok Suburbs
Aerial views of the sprawling Lat Krabang district and the outer canal systems of the Thai capital.
Phnom Kulen National Park
The sacred mountain range rising from the Cambodian plains, home to ancient hidden ruins.
Angkor Archaeological Park
Clear views of the massive moats and towers of Angkor Wat and the walled city of Angkor Thom.
Cambodian Rice Paddies
A patchwork quilt of vibrant green agricultural fields characteristic of the Banteay Meanchey province.
Request a window seat forward of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Angkor complex. During the dry season (Nov-Mar), the temples are most visible in the early morning light before the midday haze sets in. Keep your camera ready about 10 minutes before touchdown.
Bang Pakong River
The winding river snaking through Chachoengsao as the plane climbs out of Bangkok.
Aranyaprathet Border
The visible crossing point between Thailand and Cambodia, marked by the bustling Poipet casinos.
Tonle Sap Lake
Southeast Asia's largest freshwater lake, appearing like a vast sea on the horizon during descent.
Siem Reap City Center
The dense grid of the growing city and the Siem Reap River flowing toward the Great Lake.
The right side is spectacular during the monsoon season (June-October) when the Tonle Sap Lake expands significantly. Look for the shimmering reflections of the water and the small floating villages along the shoreline as the flight path aligns with the runway.
