Our Recommendation
7.8

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.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏙️

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.

Right Side Highlights
7.1
🏝️

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.
