SIN β†’ PNH

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The Right Side provides a superior perspective of the Malaysian coastline shortly after takeoff and offers the most dramatic views of the Mekong River and the Phnom Penh city center during the descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏝️

Tioman Island

The lush, mountainous silhouette of Malaysia's Tioman Island often appears shortly after reaching cruising altitude.

πŸ’§

The Mekong River

The massive, silt-heavy Mekong River comes into view, appearing like a giant brown ribbon winding through the green landscape.

πŸ™οΈ

Phnom Penh Skyline

During the standard approach to Runway 23, the right side offers a direct view of the city's rapidly growing skyline and the Vattanac Capital Tower.

πŸ›οΈ

Royal Palace

Glimpse the distinct yellow roofs of the Royal Palace and the Silver Pagoda located near the riverfront.

🀝

The Four Faces Confluence

View the 'Chaktomuk' where the Mekong, Tonle Sap, and Bassac rivers meet in the heart of the city.

Choose the right side for the best chance to see the city landmarks during landing. Since most flights arrive in the morning or midday, the sun will be behind the plane or on the left, providing perfect lighting for photography of the Mekong and the city skyline.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡¬

Changi Coastal View

Excellent views of the Singapore Straits, the massive cluster of anchored cargo ships, and Pulau Ubin immediately after takeoff.

🌊

Gulf of Thailand

Panoramic views of the deep blue waters and occasional offshore oil platforms as the flight heads north.

πŸ–οΈ

Sihanoukville Coastline

On clear days, the white sand beaches and developed coastline of Cambodia's southern resorts are visible in the distance.

🌾

Cambodian Floodplains

A vast tapestry of bright green rice paddies and rural villages connected by narrow dirt roads as you cross into Cambodian territory.

πŸŒ…

Western Horizon

For afternoon flights, this side experiences a beautiful sunset over the Gulf of Thailand during the final leg of the journey.

Sit on the left for evening flights to catch the sunset over the sea. During takeoff from SIN, look out for the intricate patterns of the Singaporean shoreline. This side is typically quieter for glare during morning flights.
