Which side of the plane to sit from New Islamabad International Airport (Islamabad) to Suvarnabhumi Airport (Bangkok)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a majestic distant view of the Himalayan range during the first half of the flight and a better perspective of the lush Burmese mountain ranges.
Himalayan Skyline
On clear days, the northern horizon reveals the towering snow-capped peaks of the Great Himalayas.
Delhi NCR
A massive urban sprawl becomes visible as the flight passes over or near the Indian capital.
Ganges River System
Watch the intricate silver veins of the Ganges and Yamuna rivers snaking through the fertile plains.
Patkai & Arakan Hills
Rugged, densely forested mountain ridges along the border of India and Myanmar.
Irrawaddy River
The massive life-blood of Myanmar visible as it winds toward the Andaman Sea.
Book a window seat well forward of the wing for unobstructed views of the Himalayas. For morning departures, the sun will be on the right, making the left side much more comfortable for photography without glare. Keep an eye out for the distinct transition from the arid Punjab plains to the lush tropical greenery of Southeast Asia.
Punjab Farmlands
Geometric patterns of agricultural plots across the breadbasket of the subcontinent.
Thar Desert Edge
Distant views of the arid, golden landscapes of Rajasthan to the south.
Bay of Bengal Coast
The dramatic transition where the Indian subcontinent meets the deep blue of the bay.
Gulf of Thailand
Shipping lanes and numerous cargo vessels waiting to enter the busy Thai ports.
Bangkok Suburbs
Lush wetlands mixed with modern industrial developments on the approach to Suvarnabhumi.
The right side is ideal for sunset views if you are on an afternoon or evening flight. During the descent into Bangkok, look for the unique circular and square shapes of local shrimp farms. If the flight path approaches from the south, you may get a glimpse of the Gulf of Thailand's turquoise waters.
