HEL → BKK
Which side of the plane to sit from Helsinki Vantaa Airport (Helsinki) to Suvarnabhumi Airport (Bangkok)?
Left Side of the Plane
The Left Side is generally superior for this route as it offers closer perspectives of the dramatic mountain ranges of Central Asia and the Tibetan Plateau, along with a better view of the Finnish Archipelago upon departure.

Finnish Archipelago
Stunning aerial view of thousands of islands scattered in the Baltic Sea immediately after takeoff from Helsinki.
Caspian Sea
The vast expanse of the world's largest inland body of water, appearing bright against the arid Central Asian landscape.
Tien Shan Mountains
Breathtaking views of the 'Celestial Mountains' with snow-capped peaks spanning across the border of Kazakhstan and China.
Tibetan Plateau
Dramatic high-altitude landscapes with remote turquoise lakes and the rugged terrain of the 'Roof of the World'.
Northern Thailand Highlands
Lush green hills and misty forest valleys as the aircraft begins its descent into the tropical climate of Thailand.
Choose the left side (Seat A) for the most dramatic mountain scenery. Since most HEL-BKK flights are overnight, the left side provides a spectacular sunrise over Southeast Asia. In winter, keep an eye out for the northern lights during the first few hours of flight over the Baltics.

Baltic Coastline
Views of the Gulf of Finland and the Estonian coastline, with distant glimpses of coastal cities like Tallinn.
Kyzylkum Desert
An endless sea of red and gold sand dunes across Uzbekistan, offering spectacular colors during the golden hour.
Aral Sea Remnants
The hauntingly beautiful view of the retreating shoreline and white salt flats of the former sea bed.
Irrawaddy Delta
The intricate network of rivers and fertile green plains of Myanmar reflecting the sunlight before entering Thai airspace.
Bangkok Skyline
A sprawling view of the urban landscape with the Chao Phraya river snaking through skyscrapers during the final approach.
The right side (Seat L or K) is ideal for sunset views over the deserts of Central Asia. During the approach to Suvarnabhumi, this side often provides a better view of the Bangkok city center and the river if the wind is blowing from the south, requiring a northern approach.
