Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Munich to Bangkok. Left side wins both ends of the flight. At takeoff you get the Bavarian Alps and the lake district south of Munich; at landing you get the Chao Phraya River and Bangkok's skyline. During the cruise the left side also faces generally south, giving better views of the Himalayas and Tibetan Plateau as the route passes north of them.

During takeoff from Munich (MUC), sit on the Left side for the best views. Munich departures on runway 08R/26L or 08L/26R typically head southeast toward Austria. The left side gives you a clear view south toward the Bavarian Alps and the Inn Valley as you climb out. On a clear day you can see the entire Alpine front from the Zugspitze eastward. Notable sights include: Bavarian Alps (Zugspitze massif), Ammersee and Starnberger See lakes south of Munich, Inn Valley corridor into Austria, Munich city center to the northwest.

When landing at Bangkok International (BKK), sit on the Left side for the best views. Suvarnabhumi typically lands on runways 19L/19R or 01L/01R. Approaches from the north bring you over the Gulf of Thailand on the left side, with Bangkok's dense urban grid and the Chao Phraya River snaking through the city visible before touchdown. The right side faces inland agricultural flatlands with less visual interest. Notable sights include: Gulf of Thailand coastline, Chao Phraya River delta and meanders through Bangkok, Bangkok city center high-rise cluster, Bang Pakong River estuary to the east.
