Which side of the plane to sit from Kuala Lumpur International Airport (Kuala Lumpur) to Krabi Airport (Krabi)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a stunning coastal journey, featuring the busy shipping lanes of the Malacca Strait, the lush Langkawi archipelago, and the iconic limestone karst formations of the Andaman Sea during the approach into Krabi.
Search flights from KUL to KBV
Strait of Malacca
Watch the dense maritime traffic and cargo ships navigating one of the world's busiest shipping lanes shortly after takeoff.
Langkawi Archipelago
A spectacular view of the 'Jewel of Kedah' with its 99 islands, white sand beaches, and deep green rainforests.
Tarutao National Park
Aerial views of the pristine Thai marine park featuring untouched islands and vibrant coral reef outlines.
Krabi Karst Formations
Dramatic limestone pillars and cliffs rising from the turquoise sea as the plane descends into Krabi Airport.
Book an 'A' seat for the best panoramic views. Opt for a morning flight (before 11:00 AM) to avoid the afternoon haze and potential tropical thunderstorms that often obscure the coastline. On late afternoon flights, the sun will be behind you or to your left, providing a golden hour glow over the Andaman Sea, though it may cause some glare on the window.

The rugged mountain backbone of Peninsular Malaysia, featuring peaks covered in ancient tropical rainforest.
Royal Belum State Park
A vast expanse of one of the world's oldest rainforests located near the Malaysia-Thailand border.
Lake Temenggor
A massive man-made lake with intricate shorelines that looks like a blue sapphire nestled in the deep jungle.
Southern Thai Hinterlands
The rural landscape of Yala and Songkhla provinces, characterized by rubber plantations and small villages.
Choose a 'K' or 'F' seat on the right to see the inland mountain ranges. This side is particularly good for early morning flights as the rising sun illuminates the mist-covered valleys of the Titiwangsa Range. During the monsoon season (May to October), this side often experiences fewer window-obscuring clouds than the coastal side.
