Greater Caucasus
Dramatic views of Mount Elbrus and the rugged spine of the Caucasus mountains.
Caspian Sea
A vast expanse of blue with the Absheron Peninsula and Baku visible on the horizon.
Kyzylkum Desert
Intricate wind-swept sand patterns across the arid landscapes of Central Asia.
Himalayan Horizon
On clear days, the northern horizon reveals the distant, massive peaks of the Himalayas.
Indo-Gangetic Plain
The dense, vibrant agricultural patchwork and sprawling cities of Northern India.
Chao Phraya Basin
Lush tropical greenery and winding rivers as the flight descends into central Thailand.
Since KBP-BKK flights typically depart in the evening and fly southeast, choose the left side to witness a spectacular sunrise over the Asian continent. This side avoids the harsh glare of the southern sun during the latter half of the journey. Keep your window shade open as you cross Northern India to spot the massive Himalayan peaks to the north. Use a polarising filter for photos to cut through the high-altitude atmospheric haze over the Caspian region.

Black Sea Coast

Iranian Plateau
The stark, colorful rock formations and desolate ridges of northern Iran.
Indus River Delta
The massive, winding artery of the Indus river cutting through the Pakistani landscape.
Bay of Bengal

Bangkok Cityscape
A stunning aerial view of the skyscrapers and traffic arteries of the Thai capital on final approach.
The right side is ideal for travelers who enjoy seeing the transition from the arid Middle Eastern fringes to the tropical coasts of Southeast Asia. During the morning arrival in Bangkok, this side will be facing south/southwest, meaning you'll avoid direct sun glare, though the landscape may be flatter compared to the northern mountain views. Watch for the intricate river networks of the Irrawaddy Delta if the flight path swings south through Myanmar.
