At maximum the Sun is only 15° above the horizon to the east, so you will want an open view in that direction.

THE EXPERIENCE
What it will actually be like
Only 8.8% of the Sun is covered, so nothing about the daylight in Bangkok will change. Through a safe solar filter the Moon shows as a shallow notch on one edge of the disc.
SAFETY
Looking at it without hurting yourself
A certified solar filter stays on for the whole eclipse. The Sun is never completely covered here, and what remains is as dangerous to look at as an uneclipsed Sun. Sunglasses are not a filter.
Sunglasses, smoked glass, exposed film and phone screens are not filters. If you can see anything else through it, it is not dark enough.
04 · POSITION
Should I travel?
The path passes 2,927 km to the north of Bangkok and is 78 km wide. Only inside it is the Sun covered completely.
