Which side of the plane to sit from Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport (Taipei) to Suvarnabhumi Airport (Bangkok)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the Vietnamese coastline and the sprawling Mekong River delta systems, providing a more diverse landscape throughout the journey.
Taiwan West Coast
Aerial views of the urban corridors between Taipei and Kaohsiung against the backdrop of the Central Range.
South China Sea
Deep blue oceanic vistas dotted with international cargo ships and remote coral atolls.
Da Nang Shoreline
The striking curves of central Vietnam's coast, including the Son Tra Peninsula and My Khe Beach.
Mekong River
The massive waterway snaking through the Indochina peninsula as the flight crosses from Vietnam to Laos.
Samut Prakan Canals
Intricate networks of traditional canals and modern industrial zones on the southeast approach to Bangkok.
Morning flights are ideal to avoid the harsh glare of the sun which will be on the opposite side. Look out for the Vietnamese coast approximately two hours after departure from Taipei. If landing at Suvarnabhumi from the south, this side provides the best view of the Gulf of Thailand coastline.
Hainan Island
The northern tip of China's tropical island province is often visible during the mid-flight segment.
Truong Son Mountains
Rugged, mist-covered mountain ranges defining the border between Vietnam and Laos.
Khorat Plateau
The vast, flat agricultural landscape of Northeast Thailand characterized by geometric rice paddies.
Chao Phraya Delta
The fertile plains of central Thailand where the main river system winds toward the sea.
Suvarnabhumi Terminal
A close-up view of the iconic tubular architecture of the BKK airport during final taxiing.
Choose a late afternoon flight for a chance to witness a sunset over the mountains of Laos and Thailand. Be aware that during the dry season (December to March), visibility on this side can sometimes be reduced by agricultural haze over the Thai plains.
