Abstract: At present, the climate has constantly been changing, especially the increase in global average temperature that results in the risk of severe climatic conditions such as heat wave, drought and flood. The objective of this study is to estimate land surface temperature (LST) by applying Landsat satellite data in Mueang Maha Sarakham District, Maha Sarakham Province, Thailand. The study focuses on investigating the temperature changes for the years 2006 and 2015. The research was conducted by analyzing the satellite data in the thermal infrared band with a geo-informatics package software mutually with mathematical models. The operation results indicated that the average LST was at 26.28°C in 2006 and 27.15°C in 2015. In order to verify the accuracy of the data in this study, the results of the annual satellite data analysis were brought to find out a statistical correlation with the LST data from the Meteorological Station of Thai Meteorological Department (TMD). The results indicated that there was a correlation of the data at a high level in 2006 and 2015. The results of this study indicated that the satellite data analysis method is reliable and can be used to analyze, track, and verify data to predict surface temperatures effectively.
