Bang Khae vs Myeik
Tree cover and air quality for both, measured the same way: Sentinel-2 imagery at 10 m detail over a 2 km radius from each city centre, and the live US EPA air quality index. Same radius and same index, so the two numbers compare directly.
Bang Khae has more tree cover — 31.5% against 28.1%.
Myeik has cleaner air right now — AQI 22 against 24.

Air quality in detail
What each city is breathing
Concentrations in µg/m³, measured at the same moment as the index above. Lower is better in every row. Bang Khae is read from nearby ground stations and Myeik is modelled — worth knowing, since the two are not quite like for like.

Reading these numbers
What is actually being measured
Tree cover
The share of ground under canopy inside a 2 km radius of each city centre, read from Sentinel-2 satellite imagery at 10 m detail. It is a measurement of that circle, not of the whole municipality — which is exactly what makes the two comparable, since city boundaries are drawn to wildly different rules around the world. Bang Khae leads here at 31.5%.
Air quality index
The live US EPA index, computed from current pollutant concentrations — ground stations where a city has them nearby, and a model everywhere else. It moves hour to hour, so this is a snapshot rather than a verdict on either place: Bang Khae reads 24 (good) and Myeik reads 22 (good) right now.
Frequently asked
Bang Khae and Myeik, answered
Which has more trees, Bang Khae or Myeik?
Bang Khae, with roughly 98,960 trees inside its 2 km radius against 63,472. Tree cover tells a slightly different story from raw count: Bang Khae has the denser canopy at 31.5%.
Which has better air quality, Bang Khae or Myeik?
Myeik right now, at AQI 22 against 24 — a gap of 2 points. This is a live reading rather than an annual average, so it can reverse within a day.
How many more trees does each city need?
Bang Khae needs about 0 more to reach its canopy target, and Myeik about 4,292. The target is the same share of ground for both, so the figures are directly comparable.
Are these two measured the same way?
Yes — that is the point of the page. Identical radius, identical satellite source at 10 m detail, and the same US EPA index for air. Nothing here is adjusted for population, city limits or climate, so the numbers describe the same-sized circle of ground in each place.
