Our Recommendation
8.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side is the clear winner for its unparalleled views of the high-altitude mountain ranges of Central Asia and the spectacular sunrise over the Bay of Bengal during typical overnight schedules.

Left Side Highlights
8.8
🏙️

Moscow Skyline

Aerial views of the Russian capital's sprawling urban landscape and surrounding emerald forests during departure.

🏔️

Hindu Kush Peaks

Dramatic, jagged snow-capped mountains and deep valleys visible while crossing through Central Asian airspace.

🌾

Ganges Delta

The intricate, shimmering network of river branches and lush green agricultural patterns of the Indian subcontinent.

🌅

Bay of Bengal Sunrise

A stunning maritime sunrise that lights up the horizon as the flight nears the coast of Southeast Asia.

🏙️

Bangkok Panorama

A sweeping view of the Thai capital's dense skyscraper clusters and the Chao Phraya River during final descent.

Most flights from Moscow to Bangkok depart in the evening and arrive the next morning. Sitting on the left side ensures you witness a spectacular sunrise over the ocean. For the best mountain views over Afghanistan and Pakistan, ensure your window is clear of frost, which often builds up during the long trek over the cold Central Asian high altitudes.

Right Side Highlights
7.6
🌊

Caspian Sea

The eastern coastline and unique salt flats of the world's largest inland body of water visible early in the flight.

🏜️

Karakum Desert

The vast, rippling orange sand dunes of Turkmenistan that create a mesmerizing geometric pattern from above.

🏞️

Indus River

The life-giving artery of Pakistan snaking through the arid landscape with its fertile green banks.

🏝️

Andaman Sea Coast

The transition from the deep blue sea to the tropical green of the Thai mainland as you enter regional airspace.

🚢

Gulf of Thailand

Views of the busy maritime shipping lanes and coastal aquaculture farms near the Samut Prakan province.

The right side is ideal for catching the sunset over the Russian plains shortly after takeoff. If the aircraft approaches Suvarnabhumi from the south (a common occurrence during the monsoon season), this side offers a superior view of the coastal mangrove forests and the Gulf of Thailand. Use a flight tracking app to check the landing direction on the day of travel.
