Which side of the plane to sit from Siem Reap International Airport (Siem-reap) to Sihanoukville International Airport (Sihanoukville)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the vast Tonle Sap Lake, the rugged Cardamom Mountains, and the stunning turquoise waters of the Gulf of Thailand with its tropical islands during the descent into Sihanoukville.
Tonle Sap Lake
Incredible views of Southeast Asia's largest freshwater lake, including seasonal floating villages and fishing nets.
Cardamom Mountains
Aerial perspective of the dense, lush rainforest and rolling peaks of one of the region's most biodiverse wilderness areas.
Koh Rong Archipelago
Stunning views of Koh Rong and Koh Rong Samloem islands surrounded by crystal clear waters on the approach.
Victory Beach
A close-up view of the rocky coastline and small piers located just north of the city center before touchdown.
The right side is essential for nature lovers. During the monsoon season (June to October), the Tonle Sap expands significantly, creating a massive inland sea effect. Look for the contrast between the dark green forest canopy of the Cardamoms and the bright blue of the Gulf of Thailand.
Siem Reap Plains
Geometric patterns of rice paddies and rural Cambodian villages immediately after takeoff from REP.
Phnom Krom
A glimpse of the ancient temple-topped hill situated at the northern edge of the Tonle Sap Lake.
Sihanoukville Port
The bustling deep-sea port and industrial developments visible as the flight approaches the southern coast.
Otres Beach Coastline
The long stretch of white sand along the mainland coast as the plane aligns for its final landing path.
Choose the left side if you are traveling in the afternoon to keep the sun behind you. This side provides a clearer view of the urban sprawl and industrial growth of Sihanoukville as you land.
