Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the Japanese southern coastline including the Kii Peninsula and Kyushu, followed by a dramatic crossing of the Mekong River and a panoramic approach into Bangkok.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🌊

Ise Bay

A beautiful panoramic view of the artificial island airport and the surrounding coastline of Aichi and Mie prefectures.

⛰️

Kii Peninsula

Stunning views of the rugged, forested mountains and the sacred Kumano Kodo region's jagged coastline.

🌋

Kyushu Coastline

Distant views of the volcanic peaks of southern Japan and the intricate island chains near Kagoshima.

🏖️

Central Vietnam

The aircraft typically makes landfall near Da Nang, offering views of the Son Tra Peninsula and white sandy beaches.

🛶

Mekong River

Cross over the massive, silt-heavy Mekong River as it winds through the lush green landscapes of Cambodia into Thailand.

🏙️

Bangkok Skyline

Detailed views of the urban sprawl, skyscrapers, and the winding Chao Phraya River during the final descent into Suvarnabhumi.

The right side is the clear winner for daytime flights to maximize views of Japan's southern islands and the Mekong Delta. If the flight arrives in the evening, the right side provides a stunning view of the sunset over the Indochina Peninsula and the glittering lights of the Bangkok metropolitan area during approach.

Left Side Highlights
6.8
🏗️

Port of Nagoya

Aerial view of one of Japan's largest and busiest industrial ports immediately after takeoff from Centrair.

🌊

Pacific Horizon

Expansive, uninterrupted views of the deep blue Pacific Ocean as the flight path tracks southwest toward Southeast Asia.

☁️

Tropical Cloudscapes

Spectacular towering cumulus clouds and atmospheric formations typical over the warm waters of the South China Sea.

🛳️

Gulf of Thailand

Clusters of massive cargo ships and tankers anchored in the gulf while waiting for entry into the Chao Phraya River delta.

For morning flights, the left side experiences significant sun glare; keep window shades partially closed until reaching the South China Sea. During night flights, look down to see the bright green LED lights of Vietnamese and Thai squid fishing boats dotting the dark ocean like stars.
