Stuttgart to Bangkok is 5,580 miles (8,980 km), a flight of about 9 hours 50 minutes.
The right side tracks the Alps and Lake Constance at departure, then follows the flight path's southern exposure over the Balkans, Turkey's mountains, the Zagros range of Iran, the Persian Gulf coastline, and the Indian subcontinent before reaching Bangkok's river delta on arrival — far more varied terrain than the flatter, ocean- and steppe-dominated left side.
