Which side of the plane to sit from Ngurah Rai (Bali) International Airport (Denpasar) to Don Mueang International Airport (Bangkok)?
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.
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.
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.
