Get outside in about half an hour, maybe you'll get a glimpse:
A solar eclipse can be visible across Thailand from 4.05pm to 5.53pm Monday, the first day of the Lunar New Year.
The eclipse will be fully at 5.02pm, and 15 provinces can clearly see the phenomenon. They include Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Nong Khai, Uttaradit, Phitsanulok, Udon Thani, Nakhon Ratchasima, Ubon Ratchathani, Chon Buri, Surat Thani, Phuket, Songkhla, Pattani and Chachoengsao.
Another solar eclipse will take place on July 22, 2009.

Just had a look and the sun is about a third covered, this was through sunglasses and a tinted helmet visor, wouldn't recommend using the naked eye due to the dangerous changes in light intensity - even through both layers of protection I can still see it several minutes after with my eyes shut.
Unfortunately I don't have the filters for photographing the sun!
