Which side of the plane to sit from Yangon International Airport (Yangon) to Tan Son Nhat International Airport (Ho Chi Minh City)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the Gulf of Martaban's turquoise waters, a distant view of Bangkok's skyline, and a spectacular approach over the sprawling, vein-like network of the Mekong Delta.

Gulf of Martaban
The dramatic transition from the muddy Salween River outlet to the deep blue of the Andaman Sea.
Bangkok Skyline
On clear days, the massive urban sprawl of Bangkok and the Chao Phraya River are visible to the south.
Tonle Sap Edge
The southern fringes of Cambodia's Great Lake and the surrounding floodplains.
Mekong Delta
An incredible tapestry of green rice paddies and brown alluvial river branches near the Vietnam border.
Vung Tau Coastline
Depending on the arrival pattern, views of the South China Sea and the shipping lanes approaching the city.
The right side is iconic for the Mekong Delta approach. For the best photography, choose a seat behind the wing to capture the river's complexity. During afternoon flights, the sun will be on this side, so window shades may be needed until the descent begins.

Yangon Gold
Aerial glimpses of the Shwedagon Pagoda and the Bago River immediately after takeoff from RGN.
Dawna Range
The rugged, forested mountains forming the natural border between Myanmar and Thailand.
Srinakarin Reservoir
Large, deep blue water bodies nestled within the western Thai highlands.
Dong Nai River
The winding industrial waterways and suburban expanses north of Ho Chi Minh City during the descent.
Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side provides better views of the inland mountainous terrain of Western Thailand and the dense urban grid of Northern Saigon during the final approach.
