Which side of the plane to sit from Muscat International Airport (Muscat) to Suvarnabhumi Airport (Bangkok)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a more consistent view of the diverse landscapes across the Indian subcontinent and the mountainous terrain of Myanmar, providing better opportunities to see coastal features and river deltas.

Gulf of Oman Coastline
Aerial views of the rugged Omani coastline and the turquoise waters of the Gulf immediately after takeoff from Muscat.
Indus River Delta
The complex network of distributaries where the Indus River flows into the Arabian Sea near the Pakistan-India border.
Ahmedabad and Central India
Depending on the specific airway, views of major Indian urban centers and the varied agricultural patterns of the interior.
Sundarbans and Ganges Delta
The vast, emerald-green mangrove forests and intricate water channels of the world's largest river delta.
Arakan Mountains
The dramatic, densely forested mountain ranges of Western Myanmar that rise sharply from the coastal plains.
Chao Phraya River Basin
The final descent offers views of the winding Chao Phraya River and the sprawling outskirts of Northern Bangkok.
Choose the left side for evening flights to witness the golden hour glow on the landscape without direct sun glare. This side is also superior for viewing the transition from the arid Middle East to the lush tropics of Southeast Asia. Keep your window shade open during the mid-flight crossing of India for interesting geometric agricultural patterns.

Port of Muscat
A glimpse of the industrial and maritime activity around the MCT airport during the initial climb.
Open Arabian Sea
A long stretch of deep blue maritime scenery, often featuring cargo ships on major global shipping lanes.
Andaman Sea Islands
Views of remote island chains and turquoise reefs as the flight crosses from the Bay of Bengal toward Thailand.
Myeik Archipelago
The southern tip of Myanmar reveals hundreds of pristine, untouched islands and white sand beaches.
Tenasserim Hills
The border mountains between Myanmar and Thailand, covered in thick tropical rainforest.
Bangkok Skyline
On a southern approach (Runway 01), the right side may offer a distant view of the city's impressive skyscraper clusters.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to stay in the shade and avoid the harsh southern sun. While it features more open water during the middle of the flight, the approach into Bangkok from the south can provide stunning views of the Gulf of Thailand and the city's urban density if the flight path tracks over the water before turning north.
