🇹🇭 Bangkok, Thailand
Bangkok is the capital of Thailand. Real-Earth coordinates 13.752°, 100.515°, population 6,704,000. The busiest sky in the country — monuments to circle, other pilots in the air and the city's own tower frequency on the radio. Skydex flies the real Earth here — the elevation, coastline and city layout under the aircraft come from the same data the map does, and the sky is shared with everyone else flying it.

🛩 Where to fly a drone in Thailand →
What you can do here
- Fly Bangkok in an FPV drone or as a gull, from 13.752°, 100.515° — keyboard and mouse, a gamepad, or a real RC transmitter over USB.
- Check the weather first: live wind, gusts and cloud over the city, plus the month-by-month flyable-days table above.
- Watch real traffic — aircraft overhead and ships on the water come from live ADS-B and AIS feeds, not from a script.
- Meet other pilots in the same sky: city chat room, radio, and the walkie-talkie frequency for Bangkok.
