Thai Lottery Draw Schedule 2026 – All Draw Dates
The Thai Government Lottery Office (GLO) holds two official draws every month — one on the 1st and one on the 16th. That adds up to 24 draws per year, each broadcast live and supervised by the government. If you want to stay on top of results without missing a draw, this page is your reference.
2026 Thai Lottery Draw Dates
The table below lists every draw date for the full year. January is the only exception: the 1st fell on New Year's Day, so both draws shifted by one day.
| Month | Draw 1 | Draw 2 |
|---|---|---|
| January | 2 Jan (Thu) | 17 Jan (Fri) |
| February | 1 Feb (Sun) | 16 Feb (Sun) |
| March | 1 Mar (Sun) | 16 Mar (Sun) |
| April | 1 Apr (Wed) | 16 Apr (Thu) |
| May | 1 May (Fri) | 16 May (Sat) |
| June | 1 Jun (Mon) | 16 Jun (Tue) |
| July | 1 Jul (Wed) | 16 Jul (Thu) |
| August | 1 Aug (Sat) | 16 Aug (Sun) |
| September | 1 Sep (Tue) | 16 Sep (Wed) |
| October | 1 Oct (Thu) | 16 Oct (Fri) |
| November | 1 Nov (Sun) | 16 Nov (Mon) |
| December | 1 Dec (Tue) | 16 Dec (Wed) |
When a draw date lands on a public holiday, the GLO typically postpones it to the next working day. Always check official announcements if a date is close to a national holiday.
How Public Holidays Affect the Schedule
Thailand observes around 16 public holidays per year. When one falls on the 1st or 16th, the GLO announces a draw postponement — usually to the following business day. Key holidays to watch in any year:
| Holiday | Typical Date | Risk of postponement |
|---|---|---|
| New Year's Day | 1 Jan | High — frequently shifts Jan 1 draw |
| Makha Bucha Day | Feb/Mar (lunar) | Moderate — lunar date varies |
| Chakri Day | 6 Apr | Low — rarely falls on draw day |
| Songkran (Thai New Year) | 13–15 Apr | Moderate — occasionally overlaps Apr 16 |
| Visakha Bucha Day | May/Jun (lunar) | Moderate — lunar date varies |
| Asahna Bucha Day | Jul (lunar) | Moderate — Buddhist holiday, variable date |
| The Queen's Birthday | 12 Aug | Low — rarely falls on draw day |
| The King's Birthday | 5 Dec | Low — rarely falls on draw day |
Lunar Buddhist holidays shift by several days each year and cannot be predicted years in advance. When you notice an upcoming draw falling in a risk window, check the GLO's official announcements or the latest results page for confirmed dates.

When Are Results Announced?
Each draw takes place as a live broadcast, usually running from 2:30 PM to 4:00 PM Thailand time (UTC+7). The lottery numbers are drawn in front of an audience and officials to ensure transparency.
The live broadcast airs on several Thai television channels and is also streamed online. The drawing process is methodical: numbered balls are drawn one by one from transparent machines, with each number announced and recorded in sequence. GLO officials and independent auditors are present throughout.
As soon as the broadcast concludes, results are posted here on doohuai.com. You do not need to wait for a newspaper or a third-party site — the latest draw results are available the moment the GLO confirms them.
How to Check Results After Each Draw
After any draw, you can:
- Look up a specific draw — go directly to the results page for that date, for example 16 April 2026.
- Verify your ticket instantly — use the ticket verification tool on the homepage to enter your number and see if it matches any prize category across all tiers.
- Browse the full archive — see results from every draw going back years at the history page.
Prize categories range from the first prize (six-digit exact match) down to last-three-digit and last-two-digit prizes. Make sure you check all prize tiers before setting a ticket aside — many players overlook the digit-match prizes and miss valid claims.
Missed a Draw? Check the Archive
If you need to look up an older result — whether to verify a ticket you forgot about or to research number patterns — the full draw archive is available at the history page. Every result is searchable by date. If you want to see which numbers have appeared most frequently across all draws, the statistics dashboard provides hot, cold, and overdue number analysis updated after each draw.
