BAH → BKK
Which side of the plane to sit from Bahrain International Airport (Bahrain) to Suvarnabhumi Airport (Bangkok)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the diverse landscapes across the Indian subcontinent and the dramatic mountain ranges of Southern Iran, combined with better lighting for the eastward journey.
Zagros Foothills
The rugged, folded rock formations of Southern Iran's coastal mountain ranges.
Thar Desert
The golden expanse of the Great Indian Desert across Rajasthan.
Ganges River Basin
The vast, fertile plains and winding tributaries of Northern India.
Irrawaddy River
The sprawling river delta and lush green heartland of Myanmar.
Bangkok Suburbs
The dense urban sprawl and northern perimeter of the Thai capital on descent.
For the typical overnight flight, the left side provides a front-row seat to a spectacular sunrise over Southeast Asia. It also avoids direct southern sun exposure, which can make the cabin hot and the window glare intense during daytime segments.
Amwaj Islands
A perfect aerial view of Bahrain's iconic man-made island clusters shortly after takeoff.
Gulf of Oman
Deep blue waters where the Persian Gulf meets the Arabian Sea.
Indian West Coast
Potential views of the Mumbai coastline depending on the specific flight corridor.
Mergui Archipelago
Breathtaking views of hundreds of untouched islands off the coast of Myanmar.
Chao Phraya River
The 'River of Kings' winding through Bangkok during the final approach.
The right side is best for those wanting to see the Bahraini coastline upon departure. On arrival in Bangkok, if the flight approaches from the south, this side provides excellent views of the Gulf of Thailand and the shipping lanes.
