Left Side Highlights
8.5
πŸ™οΈ

Bangkok & Chao Phraya

Aerial view of the river mouth and the expanding Bangkok metropolitan area shortly after takeoff.

πŸ–οΈ

Eastern Gulf Coast

Clear views of the Chonburi and Rayong coastlines as the flight heads south over the water.

🏝️

Ko Chang Archipelago

The dense, mountainous islands near the Thai-Cambodian maritime border are often visible in the distance.

πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡¬

Singapore Strait

One of the world's busiest shipping lanes with hundreds of cargo vessels and the Singapore skyline.

🚒

Riau Islands

A beautiful cluster of islands including Bintan and Batam with turquoise fringing reefs.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh western sun. This side provides the best view of the massive ship clusters waiting to enter Singapore. Keep your camera ready as you pass the equator for the transition into the Southern Hemisphere's Riau island chain.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
πŸ–οΈ

Hua Hin Coastline

Views of Thailand's western gulf resorts and the narrow strip of land separating the sea from the mountains.

🌴

Sumatran Swamplands

The vast, emerald-green wetlands and winding brown rivers of South Sumatra's eastern coast.

πŸ’Ž

Belitung Island

Famous for its white sand and giant granite boulders, easily spotted in the middle of the Java Sea.

🌊

Java Sea

Deep blue waters dotted with traditional Indonesian fishing platforms known as Bagang.

πŸŒ‹

Mount Salak

The dramatic volcanic peaks of West Java appear on the horizon during the final descent into Jakarta.

Choose the right side for late afternoon flights to catch a spectacular sunset over the Java Sea. It is also the better side for spotting the distinctive granite landscapes of Belitung Island. On approach to Jakarta, look for the 'Thousand Islands' (Kepulauan Seribu) scattered just north of the city coast.
