Ramadan 2027 in Thailand
The expected start date, who decides it, and first-day sahur and iftar times across 1 city.
How Thailand decides
Thailand's religious authority looks for the physical new moon each month rather than relying on a fixed calculation.
Thailand's Sheikhul Islam (Chularajamontri) announces Ramadan's start after moon-sighting reports from observation points nationwide; the 2026 date (February 19, no moon sighted) was confirmed by official communique. The exact 2025 start date could not be independently verified in this research. Not verified for 2025.
