BKK β BAH
Which side of the plane to sit from Suvarnabhumi Airport (Bangkok) to Bahrain International Airport (Bahrain)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers the most dramatic coastal transitions, featuring the rugged Musandam Peninsula and the spectacular skylines of the UAE before descending into Bahrain.
Tenasserim Hills
The forested mountain range that forms the natural border between Thailand and Myanmar shortly after takeoff.
Irrawaddy Delta
The vast network of river mouths and mangrove forests where the Irrawaddy River meets the Andaman Sea.
Gulf of Khambhat
The unique funnel-shaped bay on the coast of Gujarat, known for its extreme tidal ranges and silt-heavy waters.
Musandam Peninsula
Stunning views of the 'Fjords of Arabia,' where jagged limestone cliffs drop vertically into the clear blue sea.
UAE Coastline
Unrivaled views of the Burj Khalifa and the Palm Jumeirah as the flight tracks along the northern Emirates.
Muharraq Island
A close-up view of the historic architecture and modern developments of Muharraq just before touchdown at BAH.
The right side is essential for seeing the UAE landmarks. Aim for a window seat away from the wing for an unobstructed view of the Musandam Peninsula's cliffs. On night flights, this side provides a brilliant view of the continuous string of lights from Dubai to Abu Dhabi.
Chao Phraya River
Aerial views of the winding 'River of Kings' as the aircraft climbs away from the Bangkok metropolis.
Western Ghats
The lush, UNESCO-listed mountain range running along the western coast of the Indian subcontinent.
Mumbai Skyline
Distant views of India's financial capital and its sprawling coastline if the flight takes a southerly route.
The Empty Quarter
The northern fringes of the Rub' al Khali, the world's largest contiguous sand desert, showing vast orange dunes.
Qatar Peninsula
Clear views of the Pearl-Qatar and the futuristic Doha skyline during the final approach phase.
Gulf Oil Platforms
Intricate offshore industrial structures dotting the turquoise waters of the Persian Gulf.
Choose the left side for sunset views on evening departures from Bangkok. During the final 45 minutes of the flight, keep your camera ready for the distinctive geography of the Qatari peninsula and the artificial islands of the Gulf.
