Bangkok to Perth flight path: BKK to JAD

Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Bangkok to Perth. The right (west-facing) side captures the more varied cruise scenery over Sumatra's coast and the Java Sea near Jakarta, plus a scenic coastal approach into Perth with the Indian Ocean and Swan River visible — more landmark density than the largely flat, ocean-dominated left side.

During takeoff from Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK), sit on the Left side for the best views. Departing south from Suvarnabhumi, the initial climb puts the Gulf of Thailand and Bangkok's eastern delta suburbs on the left, giving a brief glimpse of coastline and canal-cut rice paddies before the turn onto the southbound track. The right side mostly shows flat, featureless delta terrain. Notable sights include: Gulf of Thailand coastline, Chao Phraya River delta, Bangkok's eastern suburbs, patchwork rice paddies.

When landing at Perth Jandakot (JAD), sit on the Right side for the best views. On the approach into Jandakot, the flight path tracks down the Western Australian coast before turning inland, putting the Indian Ocean, Fremantle's harbor mouth, and the Swan River estuary on the right side. The left side shows Perth's inland suburbs and flatter terrain with fewer distinct features. Notable sights include: Indian Ocean coastline, Swan River mouth, Fremantle Harbour, Rottnest Island (distant offshore).

The flight from Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) to Perth Jandakot (JAD) takes 5h 45m.

The flight path crosses the Malay Peninsula near Kuala Lumpur, skirts the eastern coast of Sumatra and the Bangka Strait, passes near the West Java coast close to Jakarta, then continues over open Indian Ocean before making landfall on Australia's west coast near Shark Bay en route to Perth.
