Our Recommendation
7.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior mix of the South China Sea coastline, the lush landscapes of central Vietnam, and a picturesque approach into the Gulf of Thailand's northern reaches near Bangkok.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏙️

Pearl River Delta

Aerial view of the dense urban clusters of Macau, Taipa, and Coloane islands during the initial climb.

🌊

South China Sea

Deep blue maritime views and passing merchant vessels on the busy shipping lanes below.

🏖️

Da Nang Coastline

Gliding past the central Vietnamese coast with views of the Son Tra Peninsula and white sand beaches.

⛰️

Annamite Range

Rugged, verdant mountain ridges as the flight crosses from Vietnam into southern Laos.

🌾

Chao Phraya Delta

The intricate network of canals and green rice paddies that define the fertile plains of central Thailand.

Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to avoid direct solar glare. Keep your camera ready about 50-60 minutes into the flight for the Vietnamese coastline. During the descent into DMK, the left side often provides a clearer view of the sprawling greenery surrounding the Bangkok metropolitan area.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🌉

HKZM Bridge

The world's longest sea-crossing bridge connecting Hong Kong, Zhuhai, and Macau is often visible immediately after takeoff.

🏙️

Zhuhai Skyline

Views of the modern skyscrapers and waterfront developments of neighboring Zhuhai, China.

⛰️

Truong Son Mountains

The high peaks of the northern Annamite range providing a dramatic backdrop over Laos.

💧

Mekong River

The winding brown ribbon of the Mekong marking the natural border between Laos and Thailand.

🏟️

Northern Bangkok

A close-up view of the dense urban fabric and sports complexes as the plane aligns with the DMK runways.

On afternoon flights, the right side is ideal for catching the sunset over the Thai mountains during the final descent. Watch for the bridge engineering immediately after rotation from MFM. During the rainy season (June-October), this side often offers views of towering cumulus clouds building over the mainland.
