Pick the month before the day
June is the generous sample in Bangkok — 45 min of golden light — while March tightens the window to about 41 min. Between December and June the sunset point migrates 48° — from 246° WSW to 294° WNW — which is enough to put a fixed foreground in or out of the light depending on the season. June days run 12 hr 56 min; by December they shrink to 11 hr 19 min.

Find the months when sunset faces your spot
Pick the direction your subject faces the sky. Months whose sunset lands within ±10° light up in the table above. Disabled shortcuts have no matching row in this visible mid-month sample.
Each row samples the 15th of the month at these coordinates, so dates near a month boundary can differ from the printed row — around here day length moves up to ~1 min per day in the fastest season. Clock times follow Asia · Bangkok, including any daylight-saving change.

The moon over Bangkok is a Full Moon, 99% lit. Treat this as lighting context, not a visibility forecast.
They are map-search starting points, not ranked recommendations; current access, closures, permits, safety, and unobstructed views have not been verified. The selected-date sunset bearing is 258° WSW; if a composition faces elsewhere, use the bearing planner in the month table above to find sampled months that align. This mathematical bearing is a planning aid and does not prove visibility.
In Bangkok, the evening golden hour window runs 42 min on the selected date and approaches from 258° WSW. Arrive 15 minutes before its start when that window occurs, then choose a position with an open view toward that bearing. Don't rely on the generic “one hour before sunset” rule here — the real window shifts with the season, so check the computed times for your date.
See the calculation method and limits before relying on the estimate in terrain-sensitive or safety-critical conditions.
