Which side of the plane to sit from Suvarnabhumi Airport (Bangkok) to Singapore Changi Airport (Singapore)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior view of Bangkok's urban landscape on departure and the iconic Singapore skyline paired with the massive shipping fleets in the Strait of Malacca during descent.
Bang Kachao
Known as Bangkok's 'Green Lung', this massive oxbow bend in the Chao Phraya River is visible immediately after takeoff.
Titiwangsa Mountains
The rugged, cloud-capped granite spine of the Malay Peninsula stretching across the horizon.
Strait of Malacca
View one of the world's busiest shipping lanes, often filled with a constant stream of international vessels.
Marina Bay Sands
During a southern approach (Runway 02L/R), passengers get a prime view of the CBD, Gardens by the Bay, and the Singapore Flyer.
The right side is ideal for sunset views over the Strait of Malacca. For the best chance to see the Singapore skyline, hope for a 'southerly arrival' into Changi. During the monsoon season (Nov-Feb), expect more cloud cover over the mountains.
Gulf of Thailand
Expansive views of the turquoise waters and patterns formed by traditional Thai fishing nets near the coast.
Tioman Island
On clear days, the volcanic peaks and lush rainforests of this Malaysian island are visible to the east.
Johor River Delta
Intricate patterns of mangrove forests and river systems as the flight crosses into the southernmost tip of Malaysia.
Singapore Anchorage
Dozens of massive cargo ships and tankers waiting outside the port, creating a glowing city of lights at night.
Choose this side for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the western sun. It is particularly scenic if the flight path takes a more easterly route over the South China Sea, offering glimpses of remote Malaysian islands.
