KHN → DMK
Which side of the plane to sit from Nanchang Changbei International Airport (Nanchang) to Don Mueang International Airport (Bangkok)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the dramatic karst landscapes of Southern China and a more iconic approach to Bangkok, featuring the winding Chao Phraya River and the dense city skyline during the descent into Don Mueang.
Guangxi Karst Peaks
Spectacular views of the iconic limestone 'sugarloaf' mountains that define the landscape of Southern China.
Nanling Mountains
A major mountain range separating Central and Southern China, featuring dense forests and deep valleys.
Bangkok City Skyline
As the plane enters the final approach for DMK, the sprawling skyscrapers of the Thai capital are clearly visible.
Chao Phraya River
The 'River of Kings' winding through the heart of the city can often be seen during the final turns toward the runway.
This is the prime side for sunset enthusiasts on late afternoon flights, as the sun sets over the Thai-Laos border. During the approach to Don Mueang, the plane often maneuvers in a way that gives the right side a panoramic view of the Bangkok metropolitan area.
Nanchang Urban Core
Clear views of the modern skyline and the expansive Gan River shortly after departure from Changbei.
Luoxiao Mountains
The rugged, forested ridges bordering Jiangxi and Hunan provinces provide a dramatic green backdrop.
Mekong River Basin
Aerial glimpses of the mighty Mekong as it winds through the borders of Laos and Thailand.
Isan Plateaus
The distinctive rectangular agricultural patchwork and rural villages of Northeastern Thailand.
Choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat blur. On morning flights, this side receives direct sunlight early on, so keep the shade down until reaching cruising altitude to avoid glare while viewing the Chinese mountain ranges.
