Every aircraft passing within roughly 80 km of Suvarnabhumi Airport that the network receives appears on the FlyItalyADSB live map: airliners on approach and departure, business and general aviation, and — where MLAT reaches — aircraft without full ADS-B. Nothing is filtered out; how much of the area is covered depends on the community's receivers near Bangkok.

How we count: a flight is a departure here when the network first sees it low near the airport (on the ground, or climbing away from it), an arrival when it last sees it low on approach. Where receivers don't reach low altitude the numbers stay below the real traffic. Connections and airlines come only from airline flights.
