Chon Buri vs Nong Chok
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.
Nong Chok has more tree cover — 61.8% against 24.7%.
Chon Buri has cleaner air right now — AQI 24 against 25.

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. Nong Chok leads here at 61.8%.
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: Chon Buri reads 24 (good) and Nong Chok reads 25 (good) right now.
Frequently asked
Chon Buri and Nong Chok, answered
Which has more trees, Chon Buri or Nong Chok?
Nong Chok, with roughly 194,150 trees inside its 2 km radius against 60,060. Tree cover tells a slightly different story from raw count: Nong Chok has the denser canopy at 61.8%.
Which has better air quality, Chon Buri or Nong Chok?
Chon Buri right now, at AQI 24 against 25 — a gap of 1 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?
Chon Buri needs about 12,887 more to reach its canopy target, and Nong Chok about 0. 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.
