Access class note

Public web, file, catalog, or documented endpoint access with no paid gate implied in the source profile.

Used in layers

page reference only

Useful fields

layer name, geometry type, CRS/projection, bounding box, feature attributes, resolution/scale, update date

Reliability rating

Medium: useful public signal, but extraction can depend on dashboard or agency publishing patterns.

Runtime truth

Runtime role

Catalog only

Production ready

Not yet

Entity scope

No runtime entity scope yet.

Observation scope

No live observation ingestion yet.

Decision scope

Not wired into active decisions yet.

Runtime note

Profiled in the atlas and public pages, but not yet connected to live graph computation.

How this helps travel recommendations

Improves map context, nearby pivots, route geography, protected-area context, coast exposure, and destination coverage.

Developer reference

Best endpoint

Use OGC services, GeoJSON, SHP, STAC, PBF, or documented feature layers; record CRS, geometry type, and update date.

Recommended refresh

Check weekly for change detection, but treat the official publication period as the real cadence.

Travel scoring role

Improves map context, nearby pivots, route geography, protected-area context, coast exposure, and destination coverage.

Comparable / backup source

OpenStreetMap, Geofabrik, GISTDA, HDX, WorldPop, Protected Planet, Open Development Thailand, and official boundary layers.

Example request

# Source landing or publication page; inspect linked documents or resources before automation.
curl -L "https://www.ldd.go.th/"

Failure modes

  • Large layers can be slow or tiled.
  • CRS/projection mismatches can break maps.
  • Feature names and boundaries can vary across sources.
  • Geospatial layers can be large, tiled, or projection-specific.

Last checked and source confidence

Source confidence: Treat this profile as strongest for the exact role named above. It is weaker when the source is stretched into live availability, legal proof, or traveler-fit decisions it does not directly prove.
