About Bangkok's Time Zone
Quick answer: Bangkok uses Indochina Time (ICT) · UTC+7 year-round · no daylight saving. The live clock above is the safest answer when your meeting, flight, or deadline depends on the exact local time.
Bangkok uses Indochina Time (ICT) · UTC+7 · No Daylight Saving Time. If you are checking the time for a call, trip, launch, or support handoff, the live clock is safer than a memorized offset because it reflects the exact current rule for Asia/Bangkok.
Bangkok time matters for Thailand travel, hospitality, tourism operations, remote teams, regional support, and APAC calls. It is one hour behind Singapore and two hours behind Tokyo.
Thailand does not observe daylight saving time. Bangkok stays on ICT throughout the year, so any seasonal change in a Bangkok-Europe or Bangkok-US gap comes from the other location.
Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket, Pattaya, and all of Thailand use Asia/Bangkok. The same IANA zone is also a practical reference for several Indochina Time schedules.
Data point: Bangkok's IANA timezone identifier is Asia/Bangkok. Use that identifier in code, calendars, and scheduling tools instead of relying only on an abbreviation. IANA Time Zone Database

Best Times to Call Bangkok
Start with Bangkok's normal working day, then check the other city's clock before choosing a slot. The most common mistake is getting the hour right but missing the date when the conversion crosses midnight.
For recurring meetings, test the same local time once in January and once in July. If the answer moves by an hour, daylight saving is involved and the invite needs explicit timezone labels.
For one-off work such as flights, interviews, webinars, or launch deadlines, write both local times in the message. A line like "10:00 AM Bangkok time / converted local time" gives everyone a second chance to catch a timezone mistake.
| Scenario | Useful window | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Singapore to Bangkok | 10:00 AM-6:00 PM Singapore | Bangkok is one hour behind |
| Tokyo to Bangkok | 11:00 AM-6:00 PM JST | Bangkok is two hours behind |
| Dubai to Bangkok | 8:00 AM-2:00 PM Dubai | Good Gulf-Asia overlap |
| London to Bangkok | 8:00-10:00 AM London | Afternoon or evening in Bangkok |
For a live overlap finder, use the meeting scheduler or convert an exact time with the time zone converter.
