Which side of the plane to sit from Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (Guangzhou) to Siem Reap International Airport (Siem-reap)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is the preferred choice for this route as it offers breathtaking views of the central Vietnamese coastline and provides the highest probability of spotting the Angkor Wat temple complex during the final descent into Siem Reap.

Pearl River Delta
Dense urban sprawl of Guangzhou and the interconnected cities of the GBA shortly after departure.
South China Sea Coast
Striking views of the turquoise waters meeting the rugged coastline of southern Guangdong province.
Da Nang Shoreline
Clear views of the Son Tra Peninsula and the white sandy beaches of central Vietnam midway through the flight.
Annamite Mountains
Dense tropical rainforests and jagged peaks stretching across the border of Vietnam and Laos.
Angkor Archaeological Park
The iconic spires of Angkor Wat and surrounding moats are frequently visible on the left side during standard landing patterns.
Book a window seat behind the wing to ensure your view of the temples isn't obstructed. Afternoon flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, perfectly illuminating the Vietnamese coastline and the temple ruins for photography. Keep a close eye out approximately 15 minutes before landing for the distinct rectangular moats of the Angkor complex.

Leizhou Peninsula
A patchwork of red-soil agricultural fields and wind farms at the southernmost tip of mainland China.
Hainan Island
The northern coast of China's tropical island province, including views of the Qiongzhou Strait.
Gulf of Tonkin
Busy maritime lanes filled with cargo ships and local fishing fleets scattered across the sea.
Bolaven Plateau
The high altitude coffee-growing region of Southern Laos characterized by deep green vegetation.
Tonle Sap Lake
Southeast Asia's largest freshwater lake appearing as a massive inland sea as the plane descends into Cambodia.
The right side is excellent for viewing the vastness of the Tonle Sap Lake during the rainy season (June to October) when it expands significantly. For morning flights, this side avoids the direct glare of the sun. Watch for the 'floating villages' on the lake's edge during the final approach phase.
