iss072e757257 (March 5, 2025) --- Bangkok, Thailand—with a metropolitan population of about 11.4 million and split by the Chao Phraya river—is pictured from the International Space Station at approximately 1:48 a.m. local time as it orbited 257 miles above the Southeast Asian nation. The dark area toward the center-right is part of the Phra Pradaeng District, a lush, green peninsula known as Bang Krachao. Preserved as an urban green space, it helps mitigate Bangkok’s pollution and urban density.
