Our Recommendation
8.4

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides an excellent vantage point for the South Korean coastline, the western edge of Taiwan, and a sweeping view across the Indochinese Peninsula's diverse terrain.

Right Side Highlights
8.4
🚢

Busan Harbor

A massive industrial view of one of the world's busiest container ports and the Nakdong River delta upon takeoff.

⛰️

Taiwan Strait

On clear days, the western coastline and high peaks of Taiwan are visible as you head southwest.

🌳

Annamite Mountains

Rugged, jungle-covered peaks bordering Vietnam and Laos, providing a dramatic change in scenery.

🌾

Khorat Plateau

The vast, checkered agricultural landscape of Northeastern Thailand, characterized by rice paddies and rural villages.

🛶

Chao Phraya Delta

The intricate network of canals and lush greenery leading into the heart of the Thai capital.

The right side is unbeatable for sunset flights, as the sun sets over mainland Southeast Asia. During the dry season (November to February), visibility is usually at its peak, though be mindful of agricultural haze in March and April which can obscure the Khorat Plateau.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🇯🇵

Tsushima Island

Visible shortly after departure from Busan as you cross the Korea Strait towards the South China Sea.

🌊

Central Vietnam Coast

Stunning views of the turquoise waters near Da Nang and the Marble Mountains on clear days.

💧

Mekong River

The majestic 'Mother of Water' appearing as a winding silver ribbon near the Thai-Laos border area.

🌃

Bangkok Outskirts

Glittering city lights and the winding Bang Pakong River during the final descent into Suvarnabhumi.

For morning departures, the left side is preferable to avoid the direct glare of the sun. It offers better views of the Vietnamese coastline if the flight path stays closer to the shore. Watch for the 'Dragon Bridge' lights if arriving in Da Nang's vicinity at dusk.
