Which side of the plane to sit from Guilin Liangjiang International Airport (Guilin) to Suvarnabhumi Airport (Bangkok)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior perspective of the Laotian mountain ranges and the sprawling Bangkok cityscape during the descent, especially during the golden hour.
Search flights from KWL to BKK
Guangxi Highlands
Dramatic ridges and deep valleys as the flight leaves the Guilin basin.
Northern Laos Ranges
Remote and rugged mountain terrain characterized by steep slopes and narrow river valleys.
Bangkok Metropolis
A stunning panorama of the Thai capital's skyscrapers and the Chao Phraya River on final approach.
Sunset Horizon
On evening flights, this side offers unobstructed views of the sunset over the Southeast Asian mainland.
The right side is highly recommended for afternoon flights to capture the sunset. During the approach into Suvarnabhumi, if the aircraft lands from the north (Runway 19), this side offers the clearest views of central Bangkok's high-rises and the Chao Phraya River. Ensure your window is clean for the karst views immediately after takeoff from Guilin.

Guilin Karst Peaks
Aerial views of the iconic limestone formations and the Li River winding through the landscape.
Annamite Mountains
Dense, misty forests and rugged ridges along the border of Vietnam and Laos.
Mekong River Crossing
A wide-angle view of the mighty Mekong River as it flows toward the South China Sea.
Isan Plains
The vast, colorful agricultural patterns of Thailand's northeastern plateau region.
Opt for the left side on morning flights to avoid direct glare. It provides the best view of the dramatic transition from the karst mountains of Guangxi to the tropical plains of Indochina. Keep an eye out for the Mekong River approximately halfway through the journey.
