Prayer Times in Narathiwat, Thailand

The prayer day in Narathiwat

The night in Narathiwat runs about 9 hours and 23 minutes at the moment — Isha at 7:23 pm to Fajr at 4:46 am. That span is what the last third of the night is measured against, so it shifts along with the rest of the timetable through the year.

How the times are worked out

The underlying method is Umm Al-Qura University, Makkah. The disagreement between methods lives almost entirely in Fajr and Isha, where the sun is below the horizon and the chosen angle decides the time. For Asr this page uses the Hanafi position — later in the day than the majority view. If the mosque down the road announces something a few minutes different, pray with the mosque.

Ramadan timings

Stop eating by 4:46 am; break the fast at 5:53 pm. That is about 13 hours and 7 minutes on today's times. The full month is listed below if you want to see where the fast is heading.

Lining up with the Kaaba

Turn west-north-west, about 291°, for the qibla. The distance works out to about 6,853 kilometres, or 4,258 miles.

The shape of the day

It starts in the dark, with Fajr at 4:46 am. You have until 5:59 am, when the sun comes up. Dhuhr follows at 11:56 am once the sun has tipped past its highest point, and Asr at 4:15 pm. Maghrib is prayed at 5:53 pm as the light goes, then Isha at 7:23 pm. Sunrise to sunset, today runs about 11 hours and 54 minutes.

What changes between summer and winter

Near the equator the timetable is remarkably stable. Narathiwat sees close to twelve hours of daylight in every month, so Fajr and Maghrib move by minutes rather than hours across the year.
