Our Recommendation
8.4

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers a more diverse visual experience, featuring the Baltic islands, dramatic Iranian desert geology, and the most consistent views of the Bangkok city skyline during the final approach.

Right Side Highlights
8.4
🏝️

Island of Gotland

A clear view of Sweden's largest island in the Baltic Sea, featuring its distinct coastline and the historic city of Visby.

πŸ”οΈ

Mount Ararat

On clear days, the legendary snow-capped volcanic cone near the Turkish border is visible rising high above the surrounding terrain.

🏜️

Dasht-e Kavir

The Great Salt Desert in Iran offers mesmerizing, swirling salt patterns and vast, desolate landscapes that look like another planet.

🌊

Bay of Bengal Coastline

The transition from the Indian subcontinent to the sea often provides views of the vast river deltas and the shimmering coastline.

πŸ™οΈ

Bangkok City Skyline

During the descent into Suvarnabhumi, this side frequently offers a panoramic view of the dense skyscrapers and the winding Chao Phraya River.

The right side is ideal for catching the sunset shortly after departing Stockholm. It provides the best geological views over the Iranian plateau. For arrival into BKK, the right side is statistically more likely to offer a view of the city center and the iconic Mahanakhon building if the aircraft is landing from the north.

Left Side Highlights
7.6
πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡ͺ

Stockholm Archipelago

Immediately after takeoff, witness the stunning network of over 30,000 islands and islets that make up the Swedish coast.

πŸ”οΈ

Caucasus Mountains

If the flight path trends south of the Black Sea, the snow-capped peaks of the Caucasus range provide a jagged, majestic horizon.

🌊

Caspian Sea Coast

Views of the world's largest inland sea, showing the transition from the arid plains to the deep blue water.

πŸ”οΈ

Hindu Kush Peaks

Aerial views of the high-altitude, rugged terrain of Central Asia, often visible during the middle stages of the flight.

🌾

Central Thai Plains

As the flight descends, the landscape transforms into a brilliant patchwork of emerald-green rice paddies and water channels.

The left side is the 'sunrise side' for this eastbound journey. While it offers beautiful morning light over Thailand, be prepared to lower your window shade during the night to avoid early morning glare. It is excellent for spotting the initial departure from Sweden and the high mountains of Central Asia.
