Stargazing in Bangkok, Thailand

Bangkok's tropical humidity and urban Bortle 8–9 make it one of the more challenging major cities for stargazing. Conditions improve significantly during the cool, dry season (November–February), when clearer skies and lower humidity help transparency. Khao Yai National Park (3 hours north-east) offers Bortle 4 darkness. Bangkok's low latitude (13.8°N) gives good access to southern-sky objects like Centaurus and the Scorpius tail.
