Which side of the plane to sit from Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (Mumbai) to Suvarnabhumi Airport (Bangkok)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side is preferred for its stunning coastal views upon departure from Mumbai and the scenic approach over the turquoise waters of the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand.
Arabian Sea Coast
Beautiful views of the Mumbai shoreline and the Backbay immediately after departure.
Deccan Traps
Unique geological step-like formations of the Indian plateau visible as the plane heads east.
Mergui Archipelago
Stunning clusters of hundreds of tropical islands off the coast of Myanmar in the Andaman Sea.
Gulf of Thailand
The sparkling blue waters and coastal contours as the flight maneuvers toward Bangkok.
Samut Prakan Shrimp Farms
The distinct geometric patterns of coastal aquaculture ponds during the descent into Suvarnabhumi.
For the most scenic experience, select a window seat on the right. This side offers the best chance to see the island archipelagos in the Andaman Sea if the flight path stays southerly. Landing during sunset provides a golden glow over the Gulf of Thailand. Use a polarized lens for photography to cut through the ocean haze.
Mumbai Skyline
A sprawling view of the financial capital's dense urban landscape and high-rises during takeoff.
Western Ghats
The lush, green mountain range that borders the Indian coast, particularly vibrant during the monsoon.
Irrawaddy Delta
Glimpses of the complex river systems and fertile plains of southern Myanmar.
Tenasserim Hills
The rugged, forest-covered mountain range forming the natural border between Myanmar and Thailand.
Bangkok Cityscape
Aerial views of the sprawling Thai capital's northern districts during the final approach.
Choose the left side for early morning departures to avoid direct sunlight and glare. This side offers better views of the Mumbai suburbs during takeoff and provides a cooler cabin environment. During the monsoon season (June to September), keep an eye out for dramatic cloud formations over the Bay of Bengal.
