NRT → BKK
Which side of the plane to sit from Narita International Airport (Tokyo) to Suvarnabhumi Airport (Bangkok)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is superior for this route as it provides a front-row seat to Mount Fuji shortly after departure from Tokyo, followed by panoramic views of the Japanese archipelago and the diverse terrain of mainland Southeast Asia.

Mount Fuji
The most iconic view of the flight, appearing on the right roughly 15-20 minutes after takeoff from Narita.
Japanese Mainland
Continuous views of the rugged mountains and coastal cities of Honshu and Shikoku.
Taipei Surroundings
Potential views of the northern tip of Taiwan and the outskirts of Taipei depending on the airway.
Annamite Range
The lush, mist-covered mountains spanning the borders of Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia.
Chao Phraya River Delta
The winding river and fertile green plains of central Thailand during the final approach.
The right side is a must for photography enthusiasts wanting to capture Mount Fuji; sit behind the wing for the best composition. For daytime flights, keep your window shade open during the first hour and the last hour for the best scenery. Note that winter months provide the clearest views of Fuji's snow-capped peak due to lower humidity.

Pacific Ocean Coastline
Expansive views of the deep blue waters along the eastern seaboard of Japan.
South China Sea
A long stretch over the sea offering glimpses of remote islands and shipping vessels.
Da Nang Coastline
Clear views of the central Vietnamese coast and the Marble Mountains during the cruise phase.
Gulf of Thailand
Aerial perspective of the turquoise waters and busy maritime traffic approaching Bangkok.
Select this side if you prefer to avoid direct sunlight during afternoon flights, as the sun will be on the right side. It is also the best side for viewing the sunrise on early morning red-eye departures. On final descent into BKK, look for the coastal industrial zones and the Bang Pu Recreation Center.
