TAS β BKK
Which side of the plane to sit from Tashkent International Airport (Tashkent) to Suvarnabhumi Airport (Bangkok)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior perspective of the high-altitude Karakoram range and the Hindu Kush shortly after departure, followed by the dramatic transition from the Ganges Delta to the Andaman coastline during descent.
Karakoram Giants
On a clear day, look south to see the jagged silhouettes of the Karakoram range, home to K2 and other 8,000-meter peaks.
Ganges-Brahmaputra Delta
Witness the world's largest delta, a mesmerizing web of thousands of river channels and islands entering the Bay of Bengal.
Gulf of Martaban
As the flight nears Thailand, enjoy views of the shallow, silt-rich turquoise waters of the Andaman Sea.
Bangkok Skyline
Depending on the landing pattern at Suvarnabhumi, you may see the sprawling urban density and skyscrapers of the Thai capital.
Chao Phraya River
During the final approach, the 'River of Kings' is often visible, winding through the heart of the Bangkok metropolitan area.
The right side is ideal for capturing the sunset if your flight is in the late afternoon. It also provides the best views of the coastal approach into Bangkok. If landing from the south (Runway 01), you will have an incredible view of the Gulf of Thailand and the massive container ships waiting at sea.
Tien Shan Mountains
Immediately after takeoff, the 'Celestial Mountains' provide a stunning backdrop of snow-capped peaks to the east.
Pamir Plateau
Cross over Tajikistan's rugged 'Roof of the World,' featuring some of the highest and most remote terrain on Earth.
Tibetan Plateau Edge
In the distance, the high-altitude desert landscapes of the western Tibetan plateau create a stark, beautiful horizon.
Irrawaddy River
View the massive, winding Irrawaddy River as it snakes through the lush green plains of central Myanmar.
Northern Thai Highlands
The final hour of flight reveals the dense, misty forests and rolling hills of Northern Thailand and the Shan State.
For daytime flights, the left side can experience significant sun glare when traveling southeast. Aim for a window seat behind the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the view of the Pamir peaks. During the winter months, the snow cover on the Tien Shan is particularly photogenic.
