How this is measured

Figures here average Google's popular-times histogram — 0-100 against each place's own historic peak, never a headcount — across the 42 Bangkok cafés & coffee that carry it, skipping hours with no reading. An hour is published once 3 places have a value for it and at least 25% as many as the day's fullest hour, and a quietest window is only picked from hours when at least 50% as many places are open as at that day's peak for opening hours. A category needs 10 places with data before it gets a page at all. The city-wide crowd calendar carries the full method, including how the quiet and busy labels are set.

Questions

How many Bangkok cafés & coffee does this cover?

42 of the 88 cafés & coffee we list in Bangkok carry Google popular-times data, spread across 10 districts. The other 46 have no histogram on Google Maps, so they are not in any figure on this page.

When are Bangkok cafés & coffee busiest?

Saturday at 13:00, averaging 69.9% of peak across the 42 cafés & coffee with a reading for that hour. Thursday is the calmest day of the week, peaking at 52.7%.

When are Bangkok cafés & coffee quietest?

Sunday at 08:00, averaging 27.3% of peak across 42 cafés & coffee. Only hours when at least half as many cafés & coffee are open as at that day's peak count towards it, so it is a time you can turn up to rather than an empty slot on the chart.

Are Bangkok cafés & coffee quieter on a weekday?

Quietest window Monday to Friday is 08:00–10:00 at 36.8% of peak; on Saturday and Sunday it is 08:00–10:00 at 35.5%. The peaks differ more than the troughs: 56.8% at 13:00 on weekdays against 69.5% at 13:00 at weekends.

Which Bangkok cafés & coffee stay quiet at the weekend?

TALK DIRTY COFFEE & CAFE (Saturday 08:00–10:00, 0% of peak); Fika Fika Café (Saturday 08:00–10:00, 0% of peak); Dean cafe (Saturday 11:00–13:00, 12% of peak). All 10, each with its own window, are listed above.
