Which side of the plane to sit from Incheon International Airport (Seoul) to Siem Reap International Airport (Siem-reap)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior mix of terrestrial highlights, including the industrialized East China coast, the iconic Mekong River, and the best vantage point for sunsets on afternoon departures.
Incheon Islands
The intricate network of islands and bridges near Seoul during the initial ascent.
Zhejiang Coastline
Aerial views of the massive urban and industrial development along China's eastern seaboard.
The Mekong River
The powerful 'Mother of Water' snaking its way through the lush Indochinese landscape.
Phnom Kulen
The sacred mountain plateau that served as the capital of the Khmer Empire in the 9th century.
Tropical Sunset
Vibrant horizon colors over the Gulf of Thailand on late afternoon flights.
The right side is perfect for afternoon departures, offering front-row seats to the sunset over Southeast Asia. Keep your camera ready about 30-45 minutes before landing to capture the winding Mekong River. Also, look out for the unique square patterns of Cambodian rice paddies as the aircraft descends toward the airport.
East China Sea
Expansive views of the deep blue waters and major international shipping lanes.
Central Vietnam Coast
The white sandy beaches of Da Nang and the rugged Marble Mountains are visible during clear weather.
Annamite Range
Densely forested mountain ridges that define the border between Vietnam and Laos.
Tonle Sap Lake
Southeast Asia's largest freshwater lake, which drastically changes size depending on the season.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. This side is particularly rewarding during the final approach into Siem Reap, as you get a great look at the vastness of the Tonle Sap basin. During the wet season (May-Oct), the lake appears significantly larger and more brown due to sediment.
