Hua Hin 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.
Hua Hin has more tree cover — 38.8% against 28.1%.
Myeik has cleaner air right now — AQI 22 against 27.

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. Hua Hin leads here at 38.8%.
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: Hua Hin reads 27 (good) and Myeik reads 22 (good) right now.
Frequently asked
Hua Hin and Myeik, answered
Which has more trees, Hua Hin or Myeik?
Hua Hin, with roughly 70,577 trees inside its 2 km radius against 63,472. Tree cover tells a slightly different story from raw count: Hua Hin has the denser canopy at 38.8%.
Which has better air quality, Hua Hin or Myeik?
Myeik right now, at AQI 22 against 27 — a gap of 5 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?
Hua Hin 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.
