About Bangkok's time zone

Bangkok follows Indochina Time (ICT, UTC+7) year-round with no daylight saving time. Thailand has consistently used UTC+7 since 1920 and has no plans to change. ICT is shared by Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia. Bangkok's time zone makes it 7 hours ahead of London, 12 hours ahead of New York, and just 1 hour behind Singapore — making it a convenient regional hub for Southeast Asian business.

Did you know? Thailand uses a different calendar system — the Buddhist Era (BE), which is 543 years ahead of the Gregorian calendar. So the year 2024 CE is the year 2567 BE in Thailand. Official Thai documents, bank statements, and government records use the BE system, which can cause confusion for foreigners dealing with Thai dates — especially birth years and contract dates.
