Genaue Zeit:

The exact time in Bangkok shows the current local time in Thailand's capital and the most visited city in Southeast Asia. Bangkok operates on Indochina Time (ICT), which is UTC+7 year-round. Thailand does not observe Daylight Saving Time, providing a stable time reference for this major tourism and manufacturing hub.

The Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) trades from 10:00 AM to 4:30 PM ICT, with a lunch break from 12:30 PM to 2:00 PM. Bangkok's position at UTC+7 places it 1 hour behind Singapore, Beijing, and Hong Kong (all UTC+8) and 2 hours ahead of Mumbai (UTC+5:30). This makes Bangkok's time zone a bridge — the morning session overlaps with Tokyo (10:00 AM ICT = 12:00 PM JST), and the afternoon session overlaps with European opening (2:00 PM ICT = 8:00 AM CET).

Thailand's time zone is shared by neighbours Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos, plus Indonesia's western region (Sumatra, Java, West Kalimantan). This creates a unified time zone across mainland Southeast Asia, covering over 300 million people. Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport operates around the clock, and the fixed UTC+7 offset means flight schedules remain consistent year-round — no DST adjustments to worry about for the 80+ million international tourists visiting Thailand annually.

International time differences: Bangkok is 12 hours ahead of New York (EST), 7 hours ahead of London (GMT), 6 hours ahead of Central Europe (CET), 2 hours ahead of Mumbai, 1 hour behind Singapore/Beijing/Hong Kong, 2 hours behind Tokyo, and 4 hours behind Sydney (AEDT). Best times for international calls: morning in Bangkok (9:00-11:00 AM ICT) reaches Australia in the afternoon (12:00-2:00 PM AEDT); afternoon calls (1:00-3:00 PM ICT) connect well with Europe (7:00-9:00 AM CET); and late evening (8:00-10:00 PM ICT) overlaps with US East Coast morning (8:00-10:00 AM EST).
