Which side of the plane to sit from Kaohsiung International Airport (Kaohsiung) to Suvarnabhumi Airport (Bangkok)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers a more diverse landscape, featuring the rugged mountains of Central Vietnam, the crossing of the Mekong River, and the expansive Tonle Sap lake in Cambodia.
Kaohsiung City
Clear views of the 85 Sky Tower and the city's urban grid immediately after takeoff.
Da Nang Coast
The beautiful coastline of Central Vietnam where the plane typically makes landfall from the sea.
Annamite Range
Stunning views of the lush, jungle-covered mountains that form the natural border between Vietnam and Laos.
Mekong River
The iconic waterway of Southeast Asia snaking through the landscape of Cambodia and Thailand.
Tonle Sap
The 'Great Lake' of Cambodia, visible as a massive, silver expanse of water on clear days.
Bangkok Skyline
A panoramic view of the Thai capital's dense urban center and sprawling suburbs during the descent.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. Look out for the Mekong River approximately 45-60 minutes before landing. In the dry season (February to April), visibility might be slightly reduced due to regional agricultural haze.
Kaohsiung Harbor
Aerial view of the massive container terminals and the busy shipping lanes of the Kaohsiung port area.
South China Sea
A long stretch of deep blue water with occasional sightings of cargo ships and fishing fleets.
Chon Buri Coastline
The eastern seaboard of Thailand, including views of popular coastal destinations near Pattaya.
Gulf of Thailand
Tropical waters dotted with small islands and coral reefs as the plane turns for the final approach.
Choose the left side for sunset flights if you want to see the sun dip into the Gulf of Thailand. During the monsoon season (May to October), this side often provides dramatic views of towering cumulonimbus clouds over the ocean.
