Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏙️

Bangkok Urban Core

Dramatic views of the dense Bangkok skyline and the Chao Phraya River shortly after takeoff from DMK.

🌊

Gulf of Thailand

Expansive views of the turquoise gulf as the flight path follows the eastern coastline of the peninsula.

🏝️

Samui Archipelago

Aerial perspectives of Koh Tao, Koh Phangan, and Koh Samui, known for their fringing reefs and crystal waters.

🏖️

Malay Peninsula Coast

The scenic transition from the Thai southern provinces to the Malaysian states of Terengganu and Pahang.

🚢

Singapore Anchorage

An incredible sight of hundreds of cargo ships and tankers anchored in the Singapore Strait during the final descent.

Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is particularly rewarding for spotting the Samui islands approximately 45-60 minutes into the flight. During the descent into SIN, look out for the Indonesian Riau Islands in the distance.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🏞️

Tenasserim Hills

The rugged, jungle-clad mountains that form the natural border between Thailand and Myanmar to the west.

⛰️

Banjaran Titiwangsa

The 'Main Range' of Peninsular Malaysia, featuring ancient rainforests and high-altitude peaks.

🏗️

Klang Valley

On clear days, the urban sprawl of Greater Kuala Lumpur and the Genting Highlands can be spotted.

🌉

Strait of Malacca

Views of the world's busiest shipping channel and the western coastline of the Malay Peninsula.

🏢

Johor Bahru Skyline

The rapidly developing skyline of Malaysia's southern gateway and the Causeway connecting to Singapore.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh tropical sun glare. It provides a better perspective of the mountainous interior of Malaysia. Keep an eye out for the distinct urban grid of Johor Bahru just before landing.
