Which side of the plane to sit from Nanning Wuxu Airport (Nanning) to Suvarnabhumi Airport (Bangkok)?

Mekong River Crossing
A spectacular view of the massive Mekong River as it winds between the borders of Laos and Thailand.
Isan Farmlands
Intricate geometric patterns of rice fields and rural villages stretching across the Thai landscape.
Pa Sak Jolasid Dam
The largest reservoir in Central Thailand, often visible as a bright blue landmark during the mid-flight descent.
Bangkok Urban Sprawl
The dense skyline of the Thai capital, including high-rises and the Chao Phraya River in the distance.
BKK Terminal View
A great angle of Suvarnabhumi's iconic architecture and runway layout just before touchdown.
The right side is ideal for afternoon and sunset flights, as you can witness the sun dipping below the horizon over the Central Thai plains. For the best views of the Bangkok skyline, try to sit behind the wing. Note that during the 'burning season' (Feb-April), visibility may be reduced by haze over Northern Thailand and Laos.

Guangxi Karst Peaks
Dramatic limestone formations and jagged hills surrounding Nanning immediately after takeoff.
Annamite Range
Dense, cloud-topped mountain ridges forming the natural border between Vietnam and Laos.
Khorat Plateau
The vast, flat agricultural heartland of Northeast Thailand as the plane enters Thai airspace.
Khao Yai National Park
Views of the lush, forested mountain fringes of Thailand's oldest national park during descent.
Gulf of Thailand
On a southern approach, glimpses of the coastline and the shipping lanes near Samut Prakan.
Choose the left side for morning flights (before 10:00 AM) to avoid the harsh tropical sun glare. This side is also preferable if the flight path tracks further east, offering better views of the rugged Laotian terrain. During the rainy season (June-October), look for the vibrant green contrast of the Thai rice paddies.
