Golden and blue hour in Bangkok: all twelve months
Everything derives from the coordinates of Bangkok (13.7563, 100.5018) and the Asia/Bangkok timezone — no estimates. The planning-relevant part: the evening window here swings between 28 minutes in March and 31 in June — schedule "an hour" and you are wrong in both.

Fitting the window into the shoot day
The evening window is the reliable half: the crew is warmed up, the setup exists, and golden hour is the last slot before wrap. The morning window right after sunrise (until 06:22 in June) instead requires camera and lighting to be standing before sunrise — with a call well before 05:51.
After sunset, Bangkok still offers the blue hour: from 19:02 to 19:11 in June (9 minutes). If you need both looks on one evening, everything from the start of golden hour to the end of blue hour is one continuous window — with no room for a re-rig inside it.
Frequently asked
When is golden hour in Bangkok today?
Pick today's date in the calculator above — it computes the times for Bangkok from the coordinates, DST included. As a bearing: in mid-June it starts at 18:17, in mid-December at 17:22.
How long does golden hour last in Bangkok?
Between 28 minutes (March) and 31 minutes (June) in the evening. The name misleads — it never actually reaches a full hour here.
How accurate are the times?
To about one minute (standard NOAA-style solar computation). Not included: horizon shading from buildings or hills to the west — which can genuinely shorten the window at your location.
