Which side of the plane to sit from Singapore Changi Airport (Singapore) to Phuket International Airport (Phuket)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a continuous panorama of the Malay Peninsula's western coastline, featuring major cities, mountainous islands, and the spectacular limestone formations of Phang Nga Bay during the descent into Phuket.

Kuala Lumpur Skyline
On clear days, look for the distant silhouette of the Petronas Twin Towers and the KL Tower.
Penang Island
A clear view of George Town and the two long bridges connecting the island to mainland Malaysia.
Langkawi Archipelago
The cluster of 99 islands known for their lush rainforests and mountainous terrain.
Phang Nga Bay
Stunning emerald waters dotted with vertical limestone karsts, including the famous 'James Bond Island' area.
Mai Khao Beach
As the plane touches down at HKT, you'll see the famous plane-spotting beach directly below.
The right side is significantly more scenic for this route. For the best experience, take a morning flight when the sun is behind the aircraft, illuminating the Malaysian coast and Thai islands. Request a seat in the front or rear third of the cabin to avoid wing obstruction of the Phang Nga Bay karsts during the final 15 minutes of the flight.

Strait of Malacca
View one of the world's busiest shipping lanes filled with massive container ships and tankers.
Andaman Sea
Expansive views of deep blue tropical waters as the flight moves away from the coastline.
Sunset Horizon
On late afternoon flights, this side offers unobstructed views of the sun setting over the ocean.
The left side is generally quieter visually, focusing on the maritime activity of the Strait. It is the preferred side for evening flights to avoid direct glare while still catching the orange glow of the sunset over the Andaman Sea. Choose a seat behind the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the horizon.
