LPQ â REP
Which side of the plane to sit from Luang Phabang International Airport (Luang Prabang) to Siem Reap International Airport (Siem-reap)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the iconic approach into Siem Reap, featuring potential views of the Angkor Archaeological Park and the rugged Dangrek Mountains.
Dangrek Mountains
The dramatic cliff-like escarpment that defines the natural border between Thailand and Cambodia.
Angkor Wat Complex
A potential bird's-eye view of the world's largest religious monument and its massive rectangular moat.
Tonle Sap Horizon
The shimmering expanse of Southeast Asia's largest freshwater lake appearing on the southern horizon.
Khorat Plateau
Views of the high plateau in northeastern Thailand as the flight path skims the border.
This is the 'scenic side' for the landing. Try to book a seat in front of the wing for an unobstructed view of the Angkor temples. In the afternoon, you will experience a stunning sunset over the Cambodian plains as you descend.
Luang Prabang Karst
Breathtaking limestone mountains and deep valleys immediately visible after takeoff.
Mekong River Meanders
The massive Mekong River snaking through the emerald-green landscape of northern Laos.
Annamite Range
Distances views of the rugged mountain chain that forms the border between Laos and Vietnam.
Cambodian Lowlands
The transition from mountainous terrain to the flat, grid-like rice paddies of northern Cambodia.
Choose this side for morning flights to enjoy the soft sunrise light illuminating the Mekong. It offers the most consistent views of the dense Laotian jungle canopy during the first half of the journey.
