Stock Market Trading Hours

The Thai stock market splits into morning and afternoon trading. Kind of unique setup, really.

Pre-open/Pre-close Periods

These periods gather orders to figure out approximate opening prices. Pre-open stretches 25 minutes for both sessions. Pre-close? Just 5 minutes. Only happens at day’s end.

Random Time Period

Interesting twist here. A 5-minute window with randomized exact open/close times. Seems designed to prevent manipulation. Morning and afternoon get random openings. Only afternoon gets a random close.

Open Market Period

Active trading happens now. Orders match in real-time. The action unfolds.

Thai stock exchange runs like this:

9:30 - 9:55 AM: Morning pre-open
9:55 - 10:00 AM: Random morning opening (changes daily)
10:00 AM - 12:30 PM: Morning trading
12:30 - 2:00 PM: Break
2:00 - 2:25 PM: Afternoon pre-open
2:25 - 2:30 PM: Random afternoon opening
2:30 - 4:30 PM: Afternoon trading
4:30 - 4:35 PM: Pre-close
4:35 - 4:40 PM: Random closing

Conclusion

So that’s the Thai stock market schedule. Not entirely clear why they made it so complex. These hours matter most for active traders chasing price movements. Unlike forex with its 24-hour action, stocks have limits. Know these times. Miss them and you’re out of luck.
