Paro to Bangkok flight path: PBH to BKK

Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Paro to Bangkok. The right side wins primarily on the strength of the Paro departure, where the Himalayan peaks around Chomolhari dominate the climb-out, a scenic experience the flat delta cruise and modest Bangkok approach can't match on the left.

During takeoff from Paro (PBH), sit on the Right side for the best views. Departing Paro on runway 15 the aircraft banks south down the valley, and the snow peaks of Chomolhari and Jichu Drake near the Bhutan-Tibet border sit off to the west, putting them on the right side of the aircraft during the steep climb-out. The terraced rice fields and pine-forested ridgelines of the Paro valley also unfold directly below on that side. Notable sights include: Mount Chomolhari, Jichu Drake, Paro valley terraced fields, forested Himalayan foothills.

When landing at Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK), sit on the Right side for the best views. On the descent into Suvarnabhumi the flight path crosses the flat Chao Phraya delta, and depending on the runway in use, the Bangkok skyline and the river's braided channels are typically visible off the right side during the final turn. It's a modest view compared to the Himalayan departure, but still the more interesting side given the delta's waterways and city sprawl. Notable sights include: Chao Phraya River delta, Bangkok skyline, rice paddies and canals of the central plain.

The flight from Paro (PBH) to Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) takes 3h 10m.
