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 48 Bangkok shopping 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.
