Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular view of Bali's volcanic peaks immediately after takeoff and a superior perspective of the tropical islands in the Gulf of Thailand during the descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🌋

Mount Agung

Dramatic views of Bali's highest and most sacred volcano shortly after departing Denpasar.

🏖️

Belitung Island

Clear views of the island's unique white sand beaches and granite rock formations in the Java Sea.

🏝️

Koh Samui Archipelago

Stunning aerial perspectives of Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, and the surrounding marine parks.

🏙️

Bangkok Skyline

Panoramic views of the Chao Phraya River and the dense urban landscape of central Bangkok on descent.

Sit on the right for the best chance to see Mount Agung, but be sure to book a morning flight as clouds typically obscure the volcano by noon. During the descent into DMK, this side often sees the glittering lights of the Chonburi coast at night.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🌋

East Java Volcanoes

Distant silhouettes of Mount Semeru and the Bromo complex visible shortly after reaching cruise altitude.

🏝️

Karimunjawa Islands

A collection of 27 islands in the Java Sea known for coral reefs and turquoise lagoons.

🌊

Western Gulf Coast

Aerial views of the Thai coastline near Hua Hin and Prachuap Khiri Khan.

🧂

Samut Sakhon Salt Pans

Colorful geometric patterns of coastal salt farms visible during the final approach to Bangkok.

The left side is preferable for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh tropical sun. It provides excellent views of the sunset over the Malay Peninsula during late-day departures from Bali.
