Check any location's score before you buy or sell
Drop a pin or search any place in Thailand and get a 0–100 score computed from the real places around it — transit, markets, convenience stores, schools, hospitals, food — with the reasoning shown per category. Free, no sign-up.
Search, then drag the pin to the exact spot — the score recalculates as it moves.
How the score works
The score is computed from the real positions of 88,000+ places across Thailand, weighted by what property buyers actually care about. Each category measures the nearest place: full points within walking reach, fading with distance.
| Category | Weight | Measured from |
|---|---|---|
| Getting around | 35 | nearest station, terminal or pier |
| Shops & markets | 20 | malls, supermarkets, convenience stores, markets |
| Schools | 15 | schools and universities |
| Healthcare | 15 | hospitals and clinics |
| Food & cafés | 15 | restaurants, cafés, food courts |
Beyond the score: flood, slope, road access and forest-reserve checks from one pin
One pin runs several geodata checks at once. Every layer comes from a verifiable open source, credited right next to the numbers.
- River-flood risk — modelled flood depth for 10 / 100 / 500-year events from the JRC/Copernicus global model at ~90 m, with a map overlay of the flood zones.
- Slope and elevation — Copernicus DEM 30 m, translated into plain words plus a rough fill-volume estimate per rai.
- Road access — distance to the nearest drivable way from ~3 million mapped roads, the first check against a landlocked plot.
- Burning season — five years of NASA satellite fire detections within 10 km, with the Feb–Apr smoke window broken out.
- National forest reserve — checked against all 1,221 reserves in the Royal Forest Department's (approximate) boundary layer, as a prompt to verify title before any deposit.
All free, no sign-up, anywhere in Thailand — built for the moment before you buy land, place a deposit, or set an asking price.

What to use it for
- Buyers: compare up to four locations at once, see which leads on each category, then jump straight to listings in that area — the link keeps the comparison, so you can send it to whoever decides with you.
- Owners and agents: check a property's strengths before pricing and writing the listing — post for free and this score appears on your listing automatically.
- Planning the budget: found the area? Work out the loan with the mortgage calculator
- Already shopping along a line? Browse listings by station
Frequently asked questions
- How is the location score calculated?
- Out of 100 points across five things buyers actually weigh: getting around (35 — nearest station or terminal), shops and markets (20 — malls, supermarkets, convenience stores, fresh markets), schools (15), healthcare (15) and food (15). Each earns full points when the nearest place is within easy reach and fades to zero as it gets farther, based on 88,000+ places from OpenStreetMap.
- Is a low score a bad location?
- Not necessarily — it measures convenience, not value. Beachfront land and quiet hillside plots score low by design; the score tells you what daily life looks like there, which for some buyers is exactly the point.
- Where does the data come from and how fresh is it?
- Places come from the OpenStreetMap Thailand dataset and driving times from a routing engine we run over the same road network. We refresh the dataset regularly from the official extract.
- Can I compare several locations at once?
- Yes — up to four side by side. Check a spot, hit 'Add to comparison', repeat. The table breaks the score down category by category and marks which location leads on each. When two places both max out a category, which happens constantly in central Bangkok, the shorter distance wins the row and is tagged 'closer'. The address bar keeps the comparison, so the link opens the same table for anyone you send it to.
- Can I trust the score on a listing page?
- Each listing's score is computed from its own map pin with the same formula as this page. Listings without an exact pin show an approximate score measured from the centre of their subdistrict, and are labelled as such.
