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 50 Bangkok rooftop bars 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 rooftop bars does this cover?

50 of the 83 rooftop bars we list in Bangkok carry Google popular-times data, spread across 17 districts. The other 33 have no histogram on Google Maps, so they are not in any figure on this page.

When are Bangkok rooftop bars busiest?

Saturday at 21:00, averaging 72% of peak across the 50 rooftop bars with a reading for that hour. Monday is the calmest day of the week, peaking at 57.2%.

When are Bangkok rooftop bars quietest?

Sunday at 16:00, averaging 19.3% of peak across 50 rooftop bars. Only hours when at least half as many rooftop bars 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 rooftop bars quieter on a weekday?

Quietest window Monday to Friday is 23:00–01:00 at 45.2% of peak; on Saturday and Sunday it is 16:00–18:00 at 30.2%. The peaks differ more than the troughs: 61.9% at 21:00 on weekdays against 64.7% at 21:00 at weekends.

Which Bangkok rooftop bars stay quiet at the weekend?

Wow rooftop (Sunday 15:00–17:00, 7% of peak); PIN.BKK (Saturday 19:00–21:00, 8% of peak); Run Brothers (Sunday 11:00–13:00, 9.5% of peak). All 10, each with its own window, are listed above.
