Which side of the plane to sit from Dubai International Airport (Dubai) to Suvarnabhumi Airport (Bangkok)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side is typically superior for this route, offering iconic views of the Dubai skyline including the Burj Khalifa shortly after takeoff, followed by the turquoise waters of the Gulf of Thailand and the coastline during the descent into Bangkok.

Dubai Coastline
Unparalleled views of the Burj Khalifa and the skyscrapers of Sheikh Zayed Road during the climb out of DXB.
Palm Jumeirah
The world-famous tree-shaped man-made island is frequently visible if the flight path tracks westward before turning east.
Bay of Bengal
Beautiful deep blue ocean vistas and tropical cloud formations mid-flight.
Gulf of Thailand
The scenic coastline and islands near Chonburi as the aircraft begins its final approach.
Laem Chabang Port
A birds-eye view of one of the world's busiest container ports and massive cargo ships.
The right side is essential for the iconic 'Dubai view'—book a window seat far from the wing for the best photography. For afternoon departures, this side will experience the sun's glare, so keep the window shade partially down until sunset, which is often spectacular over the Indian Ocean. When landing at Suvarnabhumi, the right side usually offers better views of the city's outskirts and the Gulf coast.

Hajar Mountains
Stunning views of the jagged, arid mountain range spanning the UAE and Oman shortly after departure.
Mumbai Outskirts
The sprawling northern metropolitan area of India's commercial hub is often visible depending on the exact airway.
Irrawaddy River
Myanmar's major river system carved through the green landscapes of Southeast Asia.
Tenasserim Hills
Dense, mist-covered tropical forests along the border between Myanmar and Thailand.
On the left side, choose a seat forward of the wing to capture the Hajar Mountains clearly. For the overnight 'red-eye' flights common on this route, this side provides the best view of the sunrise as you approach the Indochinese Peninsula. During the monsoon season (June-September), look for dramatic lightning displays over the Bay of Bengal.
