Prayer Times in Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand

The prayer day in Nakhon Ratchasima

The times below are worked out for Nakhon Ratchasima itself, from the city's own coordinates (14.97° N, 102.08° E). The difference between one town and the next is only minutes, but those minutes are the whole of Fajr and Maghrib.

How the times are worked out

The underlying method is Umm Al-Qura University, Makkah. Where two calculations disagree it is nearly always Fajr or Isha: those depend on twilight, and twilight is a judgement call. Asr is Hanafi on this page, so expect it later than a Shafi timetable would show. Local practice wins over any website, this one included.

The direction of prayer

The qibla from here runs west-north-west, a bearing of about 286°. That puts the Kaaba roughly 6,576 km — 4,086 miles — from here. Worth remembering that a phone compass points to magnetic north, which can sit several degrees off true north depending on where you are.

Today's timetable

Fajr is at 4:52 am — early, and in darkness. The window stays open until sunrise, 6:07 am. Midday brings Dhuhr at 11:55 am; Asr comes round at 4:08 pm. Maghrib comes with sunset at 5:44 pm, and Isha closes the day at 7:14 pm. Around 11 hours and 37 minutes of daylight, all told.

How much the times move

There is not much of a yearly swing here. Daylight hovers around twelve hours all year in Nakhon Ratchasima, keeping the whole timetable within a narrow band.

If you are fasting

The fasting day here runs 4:52 am to 5:44 pm: suhoor closes at the first, iftar comes at the second. Today it works out to some 12 hours and 52 minutes. The full month is listed below if you want to see where the fast is heading.
