หกโมงเช้า

Explanation

The expression consists of หก “six,” โมง, a word used in telling time, and เช้า “morning.” It can follow a verb directly, as in ตื่นหกโมงเช้า, “wake up at 6 a.m.” It may also follow ตอน, forming ตอนหกโมงเช้า, to explicitly mark the time when something happens. It is a common, neutral expression in everyday conversation. Timetables and written schedules may instead show the time as 06:00 น.

Usage

It is commonly used when discussing morning schedules, such as wake-up times, departures, opening or starting times, transportation, and appointments.

Caution

หกโมงเช้า specifically means 6 a.m. For 6 p.m., use หกโมงเย็น.
