WUH → DMK
Which side of the plane to sit from Wuhan Tianhe International Airport (Wuhan) to Don Mueang International Airport (Bangkok)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the iconic Guilin karst landscape, the Mekong River basin, and better lighting for photography on afternoon flights.
Guilin Karst Mountains
Spectacular views of the world-famous limestone peaks and dramatic topography of Guangxi province.
Mekong River Crossing
A high-altitude view of the mighty Mekong River as it snakes through the borders of Laos and Thailand.
Luang Prabang Range
The densely forested mountain peaks of Northern Thailand and Laos, offering deep green vistas.
Pasak Cholasit Dam
One of Thailand's largest reservoirs, visible as a massive body of blue water shortly before the descent begins.
Kantarat Golf Club
The unique sight of the golf course located directly between the two runways at Don Mueang Airport during touchdown.
The right side is ideal for mid-to-late afternoon flights as the sun is behind the plane, illuminating the karst mountains of China perfectly. Keep your camera ready for the Mekong River crossing, which is a major landmark on this route. This side also avoids direct glare for most of the flight duration.
Yangtze River Bend
Upon departure from Wuhan, enjoy a panoramic view of the massive Yangtze River and its busy commercial ports.
Changsha Urban Sprawl
Views of the capital of Hunan province and its numerous river bridges as you cruise southward.
Annamite Range
The eastern edges of the rugged mountains separating Laos and Vietnam, often shrouded in a sea of clouds.
Khorat Plateau
The flat, agriculturally rich landscape of Isan in Northeast Thailand, characterized by intricate paddy field patterns.
Bangkok Skyline
On final approach, clear views of the dense skyscrapers of central Bangkok and the Rama IX bridge.
Sit on the left for early morning flights to see the sunrise over the South China Sea horizon. During the descent into DMK, this side provides a better angle of the city's high-rise clusters if the wind is blowing from the north.
