On Boxing Day the skies will go dark across Thailand – solar eclipse
cool;
since Yalla is expecting 81%, Phuket should be around 70%
https://thethaiger.com/hot-news/environ ... ar-eclipseThe skies will go dark in Thailand around midday on Boxing Day. The sun will partly vanish and a ghostly pall will shadow the Kingdom. But it’s all good. It’s a solar eclipse, a completely natural phenomenon.
While Singapore, Sri Lanka, India and Indonesia will all enjoy a full solar eclipse, Thailand will experience a partial one, whereby the moon only partly obscures the sun. In Bangkok, the sun will be obscured by 56%, and by 40% in the Mae Sai district of Chiang Mai. However, Yala will witness the most impressive spectacle, with the moon set to eclipse 81% of the sun in the southern city.

Thanks for mentioning this. Hadn't heard anything about it. Actually it will be visible throughout most of the region.phuketrichard wrote: ↑Sat Dec 21, 2019 2:43 pm cool;

Good luck Solar fans.
I have been thru a few fairly complete solar eclipses, One "total".
Quite dramatic, in a spooky kind of way.
Definitely worth catching, better than drugs - you get a kind of strange sense of dis-location on a really deep level.
All your inbuilt unconscious senses are screaming - Hang on, something is just not right here!
'Hope you get a good one!

Re: On Boxing Day the skies will go dark across Thailand – solar eclipse
It lasts for nearly four hours which seems odd, I saw a total eclipse in 1999 in the UK and it was all over and done with in less than 30 mins if my memory serves me. Anyway, here's the map...

You can use an xray to see it. I just took the best photo you're going to see of this thing today.
