PoodMaiDai Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Clear enough to do slow shutter photography on the stars? Or is it close enough to the city to still have some light pollution? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffreyMcCollum Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 At the prices they are charging to enter, not clear enough won't even go near that place or any of the national parks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amexpat Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 I take it you don't have a Thai drivers license. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackArtemis Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Go up on the 13th, it's a new moon. Even on the 15th there will be only 3% illumination as the moon begins to turn into a waxing crescent. The moon may be the largest light pollution you face. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rancid Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 How high is it and does that get above the rancid burning that is tolerated year after year? Have you considered a different hemisphere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackr Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Like this? Inthanon is going to be your best bet in Thailand for sure. Ang Khang (though half the altitude and frequently cloudy) might also be ok as there's a large grassy area within the Project to set up a camera. I don't think anywhere in Southeast Asia compares to even UK for the night sky... just too much dust and humidity. Best skies I've ever seen were in Oz in WA hundreds of miles from a city . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffreyMcCollum Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 I take it you don't have a Thai drivers license. I do, as well as work permit, government health card, THai Socail security number card, Tax ID, and Yellow book. Sure I pay more taxes than 99% of thais I think the real question is when was the last time you went there ? They only want to see a blue card and mine is still 2 years away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was up to Doi Khum yesterday just before sunset to see the lights. you could see hundreds of fires burning all over and a haze over the valley. It's going to be a very bad year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes sir, just like that. Great pic! Is it yours? Was up to Doi Khum yesterday just before sunset to see the lights. you could see hundreds of fires burning all over and a haze over the valley.

cbrer Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 At the prices they are charging to enter, not clear enough won't even go near that place or any of the national parks Just last week I through Khao Yai on my bike. 40b + 30 for the bike. Phra Viharn NP in Srisaket - Free. 3 different NP's in Ubon. One was 20-40b (I forget which), the other two were free. Oh well, i guess you're happy staying at home being angry with made-up systems you think are in place. OP, Doi Inthanon should be perfect for it. About the best in Thailand. Have fun and make sure to post your wonderful pics. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
