Tonight's sky above Thung Khru, Bangkok, Thailand
Whether tonight is a good night for stargazing from Thung Khru, Bangkok, Thailand comes down to four real things: the Moon phase, cloud cover, which planets are up, and the current Kp index.
Local sky character in Thung Khru
Tropical / equatorial latitudes · northern hemisphere · 6 m elevation
- The north celestial pole stands 13.6° above the horizon, so stars within 14° of it never set from here.
- About 61.8% of the whole sky rises above the horizon at some point in the year from this latitude.
- The Milky Way's core in Sagittarius culminates about 47.4° up, clearing the horizon haze comfortably.
- The Large Magellanic Cloud only reaches about 6.7° altitude, so it is a low, seasonal target rather than a year-round one.
- At 6 m elevation, roughly 0% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
Thung Khru is a town-scale settlement, so the edge of the built-up area is often dark enough for the Milky Way on moonless nights.

Calculated for these coordinates and today's date — not a fixed list.
- 2026-10-21 — Orionids peak — up to 20/hour
Radiant in Orion. Visible from both hemispheres. The Moon is 72% lit on peak night, so lunar interference is moderate.
- 2026-10-25 — Full Moon
A 99%-lit Moon washes out faint objects, but lunar terrain along the limb is at its most striking — plan bright targets and planets instead of deep sky.
- 2026-11-05 — Taurids peak — up to 5/hour
Radiant in Taurus. Favours the Northern Hemisphere, which includes Thung Khru, Bangkok, Thailand. The Moon is 18% lit on peak night, so lunar interference is low.
- 2026-11-09 — Darkest night of the coming month
The Moon is only 0% illuminated, giving the least lunar interference in the next 30 nights — the best window for the Milky Way and faint deep-sky targets from Thung Khru, Bangkok, Thailand.

- What is the stargazing light pollution level in Thung Khru, Bangkok, Thailand?
- Thung Khru, Bangkok, Thailand is a small city — typically Bortle class 4–5 (rural/suburban transition), where the Milky Way core can be glimpsed on clear, moonless nights.
