Which side of the plane to sit from Singapore Changi Airport (Singapore) to Krabi Airport (Krabi)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides an unparalleled view of the Andaman Sea's emerald waters and the iconic limestone cliffs of the Krabi coastline during the final descent.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🚢

Singapore Strait

View the world's busiest shipping lanes and hundreds of tankers right after takeoff.

🌊

Strait of Malacca

Expansive vistas of the historic waterway separating the Malay Peninsula from Sumatra.

🏝️

Koh Lanta

Spot the large, elongated island and its surrounding archipelagos as you enter Thai airspace.

⛰️

Limestone Karsts

The signature dramatic rock formations of the Krabi region rising vertically from the sea.

🏖️

Phang Nga Bay Edge

On the final approach, catch glimpses of the hidden lagoons and turquoise waters of the bay.

Book a window seat on the left (usually 'A') for the best panoramic views of the Andaman islands. During evening flights, this side offers spectacular sunsets over the sea. Watch for the dramatic shift from the deep blue of the open strait to the vibrant turquoise of the Thai coast as the plane begins its descent.

Right Side Highlights
7.0
🏙️

Johor Bahru

See the urban sprawl and the bridges connecting Singapore to the Malaysian mainland.

🌴

Malaysian Coastline

Views of extensive palm oil plantations and coastal fishing villages along the western shore.

⛰️

Titiwangsa Mountains

The rugged central mountain range of the Malay Peninsula covered in dense tropical rainforest.

🌉

Penang Island

Depending on the specific flight path, you may see the long bridges connecting Penang to the mainland.

🌳

Southern Thai Forests

Lush green canopies and rubber estates characteristic of the Krabi province interior.

Choose a window seat on the right (usually 'F' or 'K') to observe the diverse landscapes of Peninsular Malaysia. This side is preferable during morning flights to avoid the harsh afternoon sun glare. Look for the Titiwangsa Mountains peaking through the clouds mid-flight, which provides a beautiful contrast to the coastal scenery.
