Which side of the plane to sit from Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport (Chongqing) to Don Mueang International Airport (Bangkok)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the rugged Yunnan-Guizhou plateau and the most iconic perspectives of the Chao Phraya River and Bangkok's cityscape during the descent into Don Mueang.
River Confluence
The distinct Y-shaped meeting point of the Yangtze and Jialing Rivers in the heart of Chongqing.
Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau
Dramatic views of high-altitude peaks and deep valleys as the flight traverses the plateau edge.
Dianchi Lake
Potential sighting of the vast freshwater lake near Kunming depending on the specific air corridor.
Mekong River Bend
Spectacular views of the mighty Mekong River as it winds through the border regions of Laos and Thailand.
Bangkok Skyline
Premier views of the Chao Phraya River and the sprawling urban landscape of Bangkok on final approach.
The right side is ideal for avoiding the harsh morning sun while flying south. On evening flights, this side offers stunning sunset views over the distant mountains of the Thai-Myanmar border. Keep your camera ready during the final 15 minutes of the flight for the best city shots.
Chongqing Peninsula
A dense view of the skyscraper-heavy Yuzhong District and the Yangtze River immediately after takeoff.
Guizhou Karst Peaks
A vast landscape of unique cone-shaped limestone mountains characteristic of Southern China.
Laotian Highlands
Deep green tropical forests and rugged terrain as the flight passes over Northern Laos.
Mun River Basin
The intricate river systems and agricultural patchwork of Northeastern Thailand's Isan region.
Sit on the left for early morning flights to witness the sunrise over the Guizhou mountains. This side is also excellent for viewing the rural landscape of Thailand during the rainy season when the paddies are vibrant green.
