Ramadan timetable 2027 in Bangkok: calculated times
In Bangkok, the Ramadan timetable 2027 consists of a daily schedule of imsak and iftar, that is, the time the fast begins before dawn and the time it ends at sunset. Between 8 February and 8 March, iftar moves from 18:21 to 18:27.
Bangkok's Muslims are expected to begin Ramadan 2027 on Monday 8 February, eating suhoor until 05:21 and breaking the fast at 18:21. The first fast lasts exactly 13 hours, in the warm, dry weeks that precede the Thai hot season.
| Day | Imsak | Fajr | Sunrise | Iftar (maghrib) | Isha | Fasting time |

| Day 1 – Mon 8 Feb | 05:21 | 05:31 | 06:44 | 18:21 | 19:29 | 13 h 00 |

The tropical schedule in figures
According to the table above, fajr on day 1 is at 05:31, sunrise at 06:44 and isha at 19:29. The ten minutes between imsak and fajr serve as a cautionary margin, giving time to rinse the mouth and prepare for prayer.
Thirteen hours, rising slowly
At almost fourteen degrees north, Bangkok sees modest seasonal change. The fast grows from 13 h 00 min on the first day to 13 h 08 on 22 February and 13 h 18 on 8 March, the 29th day of the month.
The lengthening comes mainly from earlier dawns: imsak moves from 05:21 to 05:10, while iftar shifts only from 18:21 to 18:27. Suhoor therefore needs to start about ten minutes earlier by the final week of fasting.
Indochina Time and the sun
Thailand uses UTC+7, a zone whose reference meridian lies at 105 degrees east. Bangkok, at 100.5 degrees, sits slightly west of it, which keeps sunrise after twenty to seven and lets the evening meal fall comfortably after six o'clock.
About the calculation
Prayer times here follow the Muslim World League standard of 18 degrees for fajr and 17 for isha. Thai mosques often distribute calendars prepared by their own committees, so their times can differ by several minutes from the figures shown.
The Chularajmontri and key dates
In Thailand, the Chularajmontri, the country's highest Islamic authority, and the Central Islamic Committee announce the start of Ramadan after the moon sighting. Their declaration is relayed by mosques across Bangkok and the southern provinces on the evening of 29 Sha'ban.
If the crescent appears on Sunday 7 February 2027, tarawih starts that night and fasting on Monday; a missed sighting delays both. The 27th night is expected on Friday 5 March and Eid al-Fitr on 9 or 10 March.
Thai-Muslim flavours at iftar
Bangkok's long-established Muslim communities, from canal-side neighbourhoods to the eastern districts, break the fast with dates, water and sweet drinks. Khao mok gai, the Thai-Muslim chicken rice, and massaman curry are favourites on iftar tables.
Roti stalls frying flatbread with condensed milk or banana appear in the evening, and mosques often prepare communal meals for worshippers. Many families add satay skewers or a rich oxtail soup, mixing Malay, Indian and Thai influences into one menu.
Fasting in a busy capital
Thailand is a Buddhist-majority country, so daily life continues at its normal pace during Ramadan. Fasting employees should tell managers in advance if they wish to leave early for iftar, and travellers will find halal options in many food courts.
- Carry water for iftar if you will be on the BTS or MRT at 18:21.
- Avoid long walks in the midday heat, often above thirty degrees.
- Pick suhoor foods like rice porridge that release energy slowly.
- Look for halal certification marks when buying food on the go.
Does iftar change much over the month in Bangkok?
Very little. Sunset moves only six minutes, from 18:21 on day 1 to 18:27 on day 29. The main shift is at dawn, which explains why the fast is eighteen minutes longer at the end of the month.
Are the times the same in southern Thailand?
No. This page covers Bangkok only, and provinces further south lie at different latitudes and longitudes. The figures above should not be used for other Thai cities, whose local mosques publish their own schedules for the month.
Can mosque times differ from the table?
Yes, by a few minutes. Committees may use other twilight angles or add safety margins to fajr and maghrib. When the local mosque announces the adhan, that announcement should guide the breaking of the fast in your neighbourhood.
