PNH → REP
Which side of the plane to sit from Phnom Penh International Airport (Phnom-penh) to Siem Reap International Airport (Siem-reap)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers the most dramatic views of the Tonle Sap Lake—the largest freshwater lake in Southeast Asia—and the historic Udong Mountain during the initial climb.

Phnom Penh Skyline
Excellent views of the capital city's rapid expansion and the riverfront during the initial ascent.
Udong Mountain
The twin peaks of the former royal capital with its white stupas are visible roughly 10 minutes after takeoff.
Tonle Sap Lake
Witness the massive expanse of the Great Lake, which changes size dramatically between wet and dry seasons.
Book a morning flight to avoid the haze and localized afternoon thunderstorms common in the tropics. During the monsoon season (June to October), the lake appears significantly larger and more vibrant green. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff to capture the historic stupas of Udong Mountain.

Mekong Confluence
See where the Mekong, Tonle Sap, and Bassac rivers meet in a unique four-way intersection near the city center.
Rice Paddock Mosaic
A beautiful patchwork of emerald green or golden brown rice fields dotted with sugar palm trees.
Siem Reap Periphery
Views of traditional Khmer wooden houses and the dense forest canopy surrounding the provincial capital.
The right side is ideal for seeing the intricate irrigation systems and rural village life of the Cambodian countryside. If landing towards the West, you may get a distant glimpse of the Angkor Wat temple complex, though this depends heavily on the specific air traffic control approach pattern.
