DAC โ BKK
Which side of the plane to sit from Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport (Dhaka) to Suvarnabhumi Airport (Bangkok)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers an unparalleled view of the world's largest river deltas and the rugged, forested mountain ranges of Myanmar.
Meghna River Estuary
The massive scale of the confluence of the Ganges and Brahmaputra as they flow into the Bay of Bengal.
Rakhine Yoma Mountains
Lush, green mountain ridges that run along the western coast of Myanmar.
Ayeyarwady Delta
An intricate patchwork of emerald rice paddies and winding river channels in the heart of Myanmar.
Yangon Outskirts
Distant views of the sprawling city of Yangon and its surrounding golden pagodas.
Pathum Thani Landscapes
The final descent offers views of the lush agricultural lands and golf courses north of Bangkok.
For the best experience, book a seat in the front of the cabin to avoid the engine exhaust heat blur. Morning flights on this side offer the best lighting for photography of the deltas, as the sun is positioned to the south and east. Be mindful of the monsoon season (JuneโSeptember) when heavy cloud cover often obscures the ground.
Bay of Bengal
Vast, deep blue oceanic views during the middle segment of the flight.
Coco Islands
Occasional distant views of these remote islands located between the Andaman Sea and the Bay of Bengal.
Gulf of Mottama
Observe the unique silty, brown waters where major rivers meet the Andaman Sea.
Chao Phraya River Mouth
The dramatic 'S' curves of Thailand's main river as it empties into the Gulf of Thailand.
Samut Prakan Coast
Views of the industrial shipping ports and the coastal salt farms during the final approach.
Choose the right side if you are on a late afternoon flight to enjoy a spectacular sunset over the Andaman Sea. This side is also superior during the final 15 minutes of the flight when the plane typically banks over the Gulf of Thailand, providing a clear view of the winding Chao Phraya river and the industrial coastline.
