CNX β SIN
Which side of the plane to sit from Chiang Mai International Airport (Chiang Mai) to Singapore Changi Airport (Singapore)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a stunning sequence of coastal views, starting with the Chao Phraya delta, followed by the tropical island chains of the Gulf of Thailand, and ending with a dramatic sweep of the Singaporean coastline and shipping lanes.
Chao Phraya Delta
The intricate network of rivers and canals where Bangkok meets the Gulf of Thailand.
Gulf Archipelagos
Aerial views of Ko Samui, Ko Phangan, and Ko Tao's turquoise fringes.
Malay East Coast
The long, sandy stretches of the Terengganu and Pahang coastlines.
Tioman Island
A lush, volcanic island rising sharply from the South China Sea.
Singapore Anchorage
An incredible view of hundreds of massive container ships waiting outside Changi.
Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise reflecting off the Gulf. During the final descent, look down for the 'Sea of Ships'βit is one of the densest maritime sights in the world. Clear weather is most common from February to April.
Tenasserim Mountains
The rugged, forested spine that divides Thailand and Myanmar.
Andaman Coastline
Distant views of the limestone karsts and islands near the Krabi region.
Kuala Lumpur Skyline
On clear days or night flights, the silhouette of the Petronas Towers can be spotted.
Strait of Malacca
Views of the world's busiest shipping channel along the western Malay Peninsula.
Johor-Singapore Causeway
The primary land link connecting Malaysia to the island nation of Singapore.
Choose the right side for afternoon flights to avoid the direct sun while still catching a vibrant sunset over the Andaman Sea. This side is also better for spotting the urban sprawl of Kuala Lumpur and Johor Bahru during the descent phase.
