Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the dramatic karst landscapes of Southern China and the crossing of the majestic Mekong River as you enter Thailand.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
⛰️

Wuyi Mountains

Lush, mist-covered peaks and tea-growing valleys in Fujian and Jiangxi provinces.

🪨

Guangxi Karst Formations

Iconic limestone pillars and tower-karst landscapes typical of the Guilin and Liuzhou regions.

🌊

Mekong River

A stunning aerial view of the wide, winding river that forms the natural border between Laos and Thailand.

🌾

Khorat Plateau

The vast agricultural patchwork of Northeast Thailand, dominated by shimmering rice paddies.

🏙️

Bangkok Northern Suburbs

Low-altitude views of the dense residential grids and golf courses surrounding Don Mueang.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as it stays in the shade. The karst topography over Guangxi is a major highlight; look out for it roughly 90 to 120 minutes into the flight. Ensure you have your camera ready for the Mekong crossing.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏝️

Zhoushan Archipelago

Brief glimpses of the island clusters off the Zhejiang coast shortly after takeoff.

🌃

Pearl River Delta

Distant views of the massive urban light clusters of Guangzhou and Shenzhen on night flights.

🌲

Annamite Range

Dense, rugged forest canopies covering the mountainous borders of Vietnam and Laos.

💧

Chao Phraya Basin

The intricate network of canals and fertile wetlands as the plane descends into Central Thailand.

On morning flights, the left side receives direct sunlight, which can be intense; keep the window shade partially down. During evening flights, this side is excellent for seeing the city lights of the coastal Chinese megacities.
