GAU → BKK
Which side of the plane to sit from Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport (Guwahati) to Suvarnabhumi Airport (Bangkok)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a unique perspective of the distant Eastern Himalayas during the initial climb, followed by the vast network of the Ganges-Brahmaputra delta and the stunning rugged coastline of Myanmar.

Eastern Himalayas
On clear days, look north-west after takeoff to spot distant snow-capped peaks, including Kanchenjunga.
Ganges-Brahmaputra Delta
A spectacular view of the world's largest delta with thousands of interlocking river branches.
Bay of Bengal Coast
The dramatic meeting point of the Arakan Mountains and the blue waters of the Rakhine State coast.
Irrawaddy Delta
The vast, fertile alluvial plain where the Irrawaddy River meets the Andaman Sea.
The right side is the clear winner for geographic diversity. For the best view of the Himalayas, ensure you have a window seat away from the wing shortly after departure. Use the afternoon sun to illuminate the intricate water networks of the Bangladesh and Myanmar deltas. Winter months (November-February) offer the clearest skies for these vistas.

Brahmaputra River Valley
Immediate views of the massive, braided Brahmaputra river system surrounding Guwahati.
Meghalaya Plateau
Aerial views of the lush, cloud-prone Khasi and Jaintia Hills, known for being the wettest place on Earth.
Chin Hills
The mountainous terrain of western Myanmar covered in dense tropical deciduous forests.
Central Thailand Plains
The iconic 'Rice Bowl' of Asia, featuring a geometric tapestry of paddy fields and irrigation canals.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is better for spotting the lush greenery of the Meghalaya plateau and the dense jungles of interior Myanmar. Early morning departures often reveal mist-filled valleys in the northern sections of the flight.
