About SET Trading Hours
The SET (Stock Exchange of Thailand) is one of the world's leading stock exchanges, located in Thailand. Understanding SET trading hours is essential for international investors who trade from different time zones.
SET operates Monday through Friday, opening at 10:00 and closing at 16:30 local time (Asia/Bangkok). A lunch break occurs from 12:30 to 14:30.
For investors in Bangkok, this means the SET market opens at approximately 17:00 Thailand Time and closes around 23:30 Thailand Time.
The regular trading session is the most important period, but pre-market and after-hours sessions also provide opportunities for traders who need to react to news outside regular hours.
Why SET Hours Differ in Bangkok

Additionally, Thailand's observance of Daylight Saving Time (DST) can shift trading hours by one hour during certain months of the year. Bangkok may or may not observe DST, creating a variable time difference throughout the year.
