Prayer Times in Bangkok, Thailand

Praying in Bangkok

Bangkok currently has about 9 hours and 36 minutes of night, from Isha at 7:21 pm through to Fajr at 4:57 am. Everything else on this page hangs off the same two points: when the sun sets and when it comes back.

Today's timetable

The first call comes at 4:57 am, for Fajr. The sun appears at 6:12 am, which ends the Fajr period. Midday brings Dhuhr at 12:02 pm; Asr comes round at 4:15 pm. Sunset brings Maghrib at 5:51 pm; Isha is the last, at 7:21 pm. That is some 11 hours and 39 minutes between the sun coming up and going down.

Elsewhere in Thailand

5 other cities in Thailand are listed on this site, each with its own calculated timetable. If you are travelling within the country, use the page for where you actually are; the difference is small but real.

The last third of the night

Between Isha at 7:21 pm and Fajr at 4:57 am there are about 9 hours and 36 minutes. The final third of the night carries particular weight in the tradition, and it is measured from Isha to Fajr rather than by the clock.

A note on the method used

These times follow Umm Al-Qura University, Makkah. Dhuhr, Asr and Maghrib are largely settled across methods; Fajr and Isha are where authorities part company. Asr is Hanafi on this page, so expect it later than a Shafi timetable would show. A small gap between this page and your nearest masjid is nothing to worry about; go with theirs.

Ramadan timings

Suhoor ends at Fajr — 4:57 am today — and the fast breaks at Maghrib, 5:51 pm. Around 12 hours and 54 minutes without food or water today. The monthly table further down shows the window widening or narrowing day by day, which helps when planning meals a week ahead.

Finding the qibla

Face west-north-west — roughly 287° on a compass — and you are pointed at the Kaaba. That puts the Kaaba roughly 6,453 km — 4,010 miles — from here.

Through the year

Bangkok is close enough to the equator that the seasons barely register in the prayer times. Longest day and shortest day differ by very little, and Ramadan feels much the same whichever month it lands in.
