Anybody afraid of the dark should love this coming Tuesday as people on earth will see the sun in the sky for longer than any day of the year.
The National Astronomical Reseach Institute confirmed on Saturday that the summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere will fall on Tuesday in Thailand.
People in Bangkok will see the sun for 13 hours and 56 minutes (assuming it's not raining), while the duration will vary slightly in other parts of the country, said Saran Poshyachinda, the institute's deputy director.
The sun will rise on 5.51am and set at 6.47pm on that day, meaning it will be over Thailand four minutes short of 14 hours.
Mr Saran said the summer solstice occurs when the sun rises on the horizon at the farthest northeastern point and sets on the other extreme end in the west.
