    Questions

    What time zone is Bangkok in?

    Bangkok is on Indochina Time (UTC+7). The time zone identifier is Asia/Bangkok.

    Does Bangkok have daylight saving time?

    No. Bangkok stays on UTC+7 all year, so its gap with cities that change their clocks varies by one hour during the year.

    What is the time difference between Bangkok and New York?

    In January Bangkok is 12 h ahead of New York; in July, 11 h ahead of New York. The gap changes because Bangkok does not change its clocks and New York does.

    Is the time shown for Bangkok exact?

    Yes. It comes from your device’s clock, converted with the official time zone rules for Asia/Bangkok. If your own clock is a few seconds off, the time shown for Bangkok is off by the same amount.
