Which side of the plane to sit from Kuwait International Airport (Kuwait) to Suvarnabhumi Airport (Bangkok)?

The right side offers a superior sequence of coastal views, starting with the oil-rich Persian Gulf, the dramatic Makran coastline of Pakistan, and potentially the vibrant lights of Mumbai, concluding with a stunning approach over the Gulf of Thailand.

Persian Gulf Activity
Aerial perspective of offshore oil rigs, tankers, and the turquoise waters bordering the Arabian Peninsula.
Makran Coastal Range
Stunning views of the unique 'moonscape' rock formations and mud volcanoes along the coast of Pakistan.
Mumbai & Western Ghats
If the flight path tracks south, enjoy a bird's-eye view of Mumbai's peninsula and the lush Western Ghats mountain range.
Bay of Bengal
A vast expanse of water that provides spectacular, unobstructed sunrise or sunset views depending on the flight timing.
Gulf of Thailand
Views of the coastline near Samut Prakan and the shipping lanes leading into Bangkok's major ports.
The right side is ideal for evening departures to catch a sunset over the Bay of Bengal. During the day, keep your camera ready for the Makran Coast about 1.5 to 2 hours into the flight, as the geological formations are world-class. On approach to BKK, the right side often provides a clearer view of the coast before the final turn.

Kuwait City Skyline
Immediate views of the Kuwait Towers and the urban sprawl of the capital right after takeoff from KWI.
Zagros Mountains
Distanced but visible jagged peaks and desert landscapes of Southern Iran across the Persian Gulf.
Deccan Plateau
A cross-section of central India's diverse geography, featuring seasonal greenery and vast agricultural grids.
Myanmar Highlands
Dense tropical forests and the Bilauktaung Range as the aircraft enters Southeast Asian airspace.
Chao Phraya Delta
Views of the winding river and the northern suburbs of Bangkok during the final descent phase.
Choose this side for better views of the Kuwaiti coastline on departure. For overnight flights, the left side avoids direct moonlight glare, making it easier to spot the grid-like patterns of Indian cities. If the flight path is more northerly, you may catch the very distant silhouette of the Himalayas.
