Embeddable widgets

Five iframes that put live Thai data on your own page: air quality, weather, the baht rate, a festival countdown and the entry-rule change. Copy the snippet, paste it into your page, and it refreshes itself every 30 minutes. Free to use, including commercially — the one condition is the attribution link at the bottom of each widget.

Air quality (PM2.5 + US AQI)

Current US AQI, the EPA band it falls in, PM2.5 and PM10 in µg/m³, and one line on what that means for time spent outdoors.

Swap the last segment for any of the 7 cities we track: /widget/aqi/bangkok, /widget/aqi/chiang-mai, /widget/aqi/phuket, /widget/aqi/pattaya, /widget/aqi/koh-samui, /widget/aqi/krabi, /widget/aqi/hua-hin

Open-Meteo Air Quality API, refreshed every 30 minutes.

Weather now + 3-day outlook

Temperature and conditions right now, whether it is raining, and highs, lows and rain probability for the next three days.

<iframe src="https://bestofthailand.org/widget/weather/bangkok" width="300" height="250" style="border:0;max-width:100%" title="Bangkok weather" loading="lazy"></iframe>

Same 7 cities: /widget/weather/bangkok, /widget/weather/phuket, /widget/weather/chiang-mai, /widget/weather/koh-samui, /widget/weather/pattaya, /widget/weather/krabi, /widget/weather/hua-hin

Open-Meteo forecast API, refreshed every 30 minutes.

Thai baht rate + converter

Baht per US dollar, euro and pound, with a converter that runs in the visitor's browser — typing in it fires no requests.

Copy this

<iframe src="https://bestofthailand.org/widget/currency" width="300" height="250" style="border:0;max-width:100%" title="Thai baht exchange rate" loading="lazy"></iframe>

European Central Bank daily reference rates via Frankfurter. ECB publishes once per weekday, so the date shown is the rate's own date.

Festival countdown

Days, hours and minutes to the next occurrence, switching to "Happening now" while the festival runs and to "dates to be confirmed" once a lunar date has passed unverified.

Copy this

<iframe src="https://bestofthailand.org/widget/festival/loy-krathong" width="300" height="250" style="border:0;max-width:100%" title="Loy Krathong countdown" loading="lazy"></iframe>

One per festival: /widget/festival/songkran, /widget/festival/loy-krathong, /widget/festival/chinese-new-year, /widget/festival/vegetarian-festival, /widget/festival/yi-peng

Our own festival registry, where every date is verified by hand and never extrapolated.

Entry-rule countdown

Days until the visa-exempt stay drops from 60 to 30 days, with the extension rule and its ฿1,900 fee.

Copy this

<iframe src="https://bestofthailand.org/widget/entry-rules" width="300" height="250" style="border:0;max-width:100%" title="Thailand entry-rule change countdown" loading="lazy"></iframe>

Our visa research in /visa, re-verified whenever the rules move.

Terms of use

  • Attribution stays visible. Every widget ends with a “Live data by bestofthailand.org” link. Keep it on screen and clickable — don’t crop it, hide it with CSS, or cover it. We don’t ask you to use any particular rel value; mark it nofollow if that’s your policy for third-party links.
  • Free, no key, no sign-up. Personal blogs, hotel sites, forums and commercial pages alike. No limit on page views. If a widget ever starts costing us more than it’s worth, we’ll say so here before changing anything.
  • The readings are indicative. Air quality and weather come from a modelled forecast API, not from a sensor on the street; exchange rates are ECB reference rates, not what a booth will hand you. Don’t use them for medical, financial or immigration decisions — for entry rules, read the visa page and then the embassy’s own site.
  • Embed the page, don’t scrape it. The widget URLs are stable and meant to be iframed. Re-serving the numbers as your own feed, or restyling the widget so the source disappears, isn’t covered by this permission.
  • The markup can change. We may restyle a widget or add a line to it. The URLs above stay put, so an embed you paste today keeps working; if we ever retire one, it will redirect rather than 404.
  • Sizing. Each widget is drawn to fit 300×250 and stretches to any width — set width="100%" and keep the height at 250 or more. The card follows the visitor’s light or dark system setting.

Building something that needs a number we don’t publish yet? Tell us what you need — every widget above is a window onto a page that carries the same numbers with their sources and their dates: PM2.5 and US AQI by city, the forecast and the season guide, the baht converter and money guide, the festival calendar behind the countdown, and the entry requirements checklist behind the 60-to-30-day rule card.
