Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the glittering Macau Cotai Strip upon departure, followed by the rugged Annamite Range in Vietnam and the iconic crossing of the Mekong River.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🎰

Macau Cotai Strip

Immediate views of the massive casino resorts like The Venetian and Parisian right after takeoff.

🏝️

Hainan Island

The flight path often skims the western edge of this tropical Chinese province, showing lush green forests.

⛰️

Annamite Range

Spectacular views of the rugged mountain chain that forms the natural border between Vietnam and Laos.

💧

Mekong River

A major highlight as you cross one of the world's longest rivers near the border of Laos and Thailand.

🌾

Khorat Plateau

Vast agricultural landscapes and rice paddies of northeastern Thailand as you approach the capital.

For a night flight, the right side is a must to see the neon lights of the Macau casinos. During the day, sit here for the best views of the Mekong River. Be aware that the afternoon sun can be intense on this side during the westbound leg into Bangkok.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🌉

HK-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge

A bird's-eye view of the world's longest sea-crossing bridge stretching across the Pearl River Delta.

🌊

South China Sea

Expansive views of the deep blue waters and scattered cargo ships navigating the busy maritime routes.

🏖️

Danang Coastline

Aerial perspective of the central Vietnamese coast, including the famous Son Tra Peninsula and marble mountains.

🛥️

Gulf of Thailand

As the plane turns for arrival, look for the turquoise waters and fishing fleets near the Thai coast.

🐍

Bang Pakong River

The winding river just east of Bangkok that signals the final descent into Suvarnabhumi.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and enjoy the sunrise over the South China Sea. It is also the best side for seeing the full scale of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge shortly after takeoff from MFM.
