READING TONIGHT'S SKY…
How dark is the sky over Bangkok?
Sky class (estimate)Bortle 8 · City sky
Like most large cities, the centre of Bangkok sits high on the Bortle scale (around class 8), so the Milky Way and faint stars are lost to the glow. For dark sky, head well away from the city lights.
Even on the clearest, Moonless night, a bright city sky limits what you can see. For the Milky Way and faint stars from Bangkok, you'll need to travel well clear of the city lights.
