What time zone is Thailand in?

Thailand uses Indochina Time (ICT), which is UTC+7. The IANA timezone identifier is Asia/Bangkok. This single zone applies to every city in the country — Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket, Pattaya, and all others.

Does Thailand observe daylight saving time?

No. Thailand does not observe daylight saving time. The UTC+7 offset is fixed year-round, so the time difference between Thailand and countries that do observe DST (such as the US or EU) shifts seasonally.

How many time zones does Thailand have?

Thailand has exactly one time zone — ICT (UTC+7). Unlike larger countries such as Russia or the United States, there is no regional variation within Thailand.

What is the difference between Bangkok time and UTC?

Bangkok (ICT) is UTC+7, meaning it is 7 hours ahead of Coordinated Universal Time. For example, when it is 12:00 UTC, it is 19:00 ICT in Bangkok.

What countries share the UTC+7 (ICT) offset with Thailand?

Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam share the same UTC+7 Indochina Time offset as Thailand. Indonesia's western zone (WIB, Asia/Jakarta) is also UTC+7 but uses a different IANA identifier.

What is the time difference between Thailand and the UK?

During GMT (winter), Thailand is 7 hours ahead of the UK. When the UK is on BST (British Summer Time, UTC+1) from late March to late October, Thailand is 6 hours ahead. Thailand's offset never changes; only the UK offset shifts.
