Longest and shortest day in Bangkok

The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 2 months ago, with 12h 56m of daylight.

The shortest is 22 December 2026, in 4 months, with 11h 18m.

Between them the day length swings by 1h 37m.

Daylight through 2026

Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night

The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:47 on 20 November; the latest is 18:50 on 9 July. Those dates are not the solstices — the difference between clock time and solar time shifts them by a week or more.

Sunrise ranges from 05:49 on 2 June to 06:46 on 23 January.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 7m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Bangkok different

Sunset here is followed by about 22 minutes of usable light before civil twilight ends — almost exactly the 24-minute median across the cities tracked here.

Between solstices the sunset walks 48° across the horizon — WSW in midwinter, WNW in midsummer — which is why a fixed viewpoint works only part of the year. Today's bearing is W.

Sunset drifts 32 seconds earlier each day this month — 16 minutes from the first of August to the last.

On 27 April and 16 August the midday sun stands at the zenith, 111 days apart. Those are the only two days of the year with no noon shadow.

Around a solstice the day length flattens out, and that is where the calendar is now: the longest day is 21 June, 2 months ago, and sunset moves a mere 10 minutes earlier in the coming fortnight.

Planning a sunset photo in Bangkok

Arrive by 17:50. Golden hour opens at 18:05 and the sun is down by 18:33, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.

Face west — the sun goes down at 281° on the compass today. That bearing moves through the year, so a composition that works this week may not in three months.

Do not pack up at sunset. Blue hour follows from 18:46 and runs to 18:55, the end of civil twilight and 21m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.

Golden hour in Bangkok — times, duration and the best months Morning and evening windows, the next seven days, and how much golden light each month gives you.
