DMK → WUH
Which side of the plane to sit from Don Mueang International Airport (Bangkok) to Wuhan Tianhe International Airport (Wuhan)?
Left Side of the Plane
The Left Side is superior for its dramatic views of the Mekong River, the rugged Northern Vietnam mountains, and the expansive Dongting Lake in China.
Bangkok Urban Sprawl
Aerial views of the Thai capital and the winding Chao Phraya River shortly after takeoff.
Mekong River Border
The winding water path that forms the natural boundary between Thailand and Laos.
Indochina Highlands
Rugged, mist-covered mountain ranges across Northern Laos and Vietnam.
Dongting Lake
One of the largest freshwater lakes in China, offering stunning reflections in Hunan Province.
Yangtze Basin
The massive river system and industrial arteries as the flight enters Hubei.
Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to avoid the glare of the rising sun while capturing the deep blues of Dongting Lake. Keep your camera ready about 45 minutes before landing for the best lake views.
Khao Yai National Park
Dense evergreen forests and mountainous terrain of the Dong Phayayen-Khao Yai complex.
Southern China Karst
Unique limestone tower formations visible near the Guangxi and Guangdong borders.
Changsha Skyline
The sprawling metropolitan area of Hunan's capital visible mid-flight.
Wuhan City Center
Expansive views of the Three Towns of Wuhan and the iconic Yangtze bridges during descent.
The right side is ideal for evening flights to witness the sunset over the Chinese mainland. During the final approach, this side often provides a clearer view of the massive bridge infrastructure connecting the districts of Wuhan.
