CCU â BKK
Which side of the plane to sit from Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport (Kolkata) to Suvarnabhumi Airport (Bangkok)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the Andaman Sea coastline, the rugged Tenasserim mountain range, and the turquoise waters of the Gulf of Thailand during the final approach.
Search flights from CCU to BKK
Bay of Bengal
Expansive views of the open ocean transitioning into the shallower, lighter blues of the coastal shelf.
Myeik Archipelago
A stunning collection of hundreds of pristine, jungle-clad islands scattered along the Myanmar coast.
Tenasserim Hills
The dramatic, densely forested mountain frontier that forms the natural border between Myanmar and Thailand.
Gulf of Thailand
Aerial views of shipping lanes and fishing fleets as the flight crosses the upper tip of the Gulf.
Ancient City View
On clear days during the southern approach, you may spot the coastal temples and Samut Prakan landmarks.
Choose the right side for the most dramatic geographic transitions, from deep sea to rugged mountains. In the afternoon, this side offers spectacular sunset views over the water. Be sure to look for the 'hidden' islands of the Tanintharyi region, which are often untouched by tourism. Avoid seats directly over the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the coastline during the descent into Suvarnabhumi.

The Sundarbans
The eastern edges of the world's largest mangrove forest visible shortly after takeoff from Kolkata.
Irrawaddy Delta
A sprawling network of river branches and fertile silt islands as the flight crosses lower Myanmar.
Bago Yoma
The forested mountain range between the Irrawaddy and Sittaung rivers in central Myanmar.
Central Thai Plains
The iconic 'rice bowl' of Asia, featuring a vast grid of emerald green paddies and irrigation canals.
Bangkok Cityscape
Panoramic views of the dense urban sprawl and skyscrapers if the plane approaches from the north.
The left side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the southern sun. Keep an eye out for the massive sediment plumes in the Bay of Bengal where the Ganges system meets the sea. During descent, look for the intricate patterns of shrimp farms and salt pans that characterize the outer Bangkok perimeter.
