DMK → HKG
Which side of the plane to sit from Don Mueang International Airport (Bangkok) to Hong Kong International Airport (Hong Kong)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer unique views, the Right Side is generally superior for its perspective of the Thai coastline, the South China Sea, and the spectacular approach into Hong Kong, which often includes views of Macau and the world's longest sea-crossing bridge.

Chao Phraya River
A stunning view of the winding 'River of Kings' and the Bangkok city center if departing toward the south.
Central Vietnam Coast
Vistas of the turquoise waters and white sandy beaches near Da Nang and the Marble Mountains.
South China Sea
Dozens of cargo ships and tankers queued up in the waters, signaling the approach to one of the world's busiest ports.
Macau Skyline
Clear views of the Cotai Strip's massive casinos and the iconic Macau Tower shortly before touchdown.
HK-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge
An unparalleled top-down view of the 55-kilometer bridge system winding across the Pearl River Delta.
For the best experience, book an afternoon flight on the right side to catch the sunset over the South China Sea. During the arrival phase, stay alert as the plane maneuvers; the right side often gets the best angle of the Victoria Harbour skyline if the flight path circles the city.

Aerial views of the dense urban grid and bustling expressways surrounding Don Mueang upon takeoff.

The rugged, mist-covered mountain range that forms the border between Laos and Vietnam.

Lantau Big Buddha

The left side is preferable for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. It offers excellent views of the mountainous terrain over mainland Southeast Asia. During landing, watch for the lush greenery of the Hong Kong outlying islands.
