Both ends are in Asia. **Great circle** 674 km 418 mi **Estimated in the air** 1h 20m block time **Furthest from equator** 13.7°N at 0% along **One lap of Earth** 1.7% of 40,075 km Of the [292 routes catalogued here](https://orbitflights.app/routes), this is the 272nd longest. The Bangkok to Phuket route drawn as a great circle arc on a globe ## What the aircraft actually flies over From Bangkok the path crosses 345 km of open water, then Thailand. The furthest the great circle gets from the equator is 13.7°N, 0% of the way along. Holding a single compass bearing the whole way would cover almost exactly the same ground, so on this route the flat map and the globe agree. The heading barely moves: south-west out of Bangkok, south-west into Phuket. Over this distance the curve has too little room to bend the compass. One economy seat on it is about 100 kg of CO₂e each way, counting non-CO₂ warming.
