REP → PNH
Which side of the plane to sit from Siem Reap International Airport (Siem-reap) to Phnom Penh International Airport (Phnom-penh)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the Tonle Sap Lake, Southeast Asia's largest freshwater lake, and the unique hydrological systems that define the region's geography.

Tonle Sap Lake
Witness the massive scale of this UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, which acts as a natural flood reservoir.
Floating Villages
Spot clusters of floating houses and fishing communities near the edges of the lake shortly after takeoff.
Phnom Krom
A prominent hill near the lake's edge featuring an ancient 9th-century Angkorian temple visible on the summit.
Chaktomuk Confluence
The unique four-face river junction where the Tonle Sap, Mekong, and Bassac rivers meet near the city center.
The right side is essential for seeing the Tonle Sap Lake system. During the wet season (June to October), the lake is nearly five times its dry-season size, offering a spectacular watery landscape. Request a seat behind the wing to ensure your view of the floating villages isn't obstructed.

Cambodian Rice Paddies
An endless patchwork of emerald green or golden rice fields depending on the harvest season.
Mekong River Curves
The massive Mekong River becomes visible on the left as the aircraft approaches the capital.
Phnom Penh Skyline
Clear views of the city's developing skyline, including the Vattanac Capital and Exchange Square towers.
Sit on the left for better lighting on morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the rising sun. This side provides an excellent perspective of the urban expansion of Phnom Penh during the final descent into PNH.
