Explanation

The expression consists of สี่ “four,” โมง, a word used in daytime time-telling, and เย็น, which marks the late-afternoon or evening period. Together, they form the fixed time expression “4 p.m.” Common combinations include ตอนสี่โมงเย็น “at 4 p.m.,” ประมาณสี่โมงเย็น “around 4 p.m.,” ก่อนสี่โมงเย็น “before 4 p.m.,” and หลังสี่โมงเย็น “after 4 p.m.”

Usage

Used in everyday situations to give a specific time, such as meetings, appointments, classes, travel plans, arrival times, and business hours.

Caution

This means 4 p.m., not 4 a.m. The usual expression for 4 a.m. is ตีสี่. In formal announcements or 24-hour schedules, สิบหกนาฬิกา (“16:00”) may be used instead.
