About Bangkok's Time Zone
Bangkok, Thailand's capital and largest city, operates on Indochina Time (ICT, UTC+7). Thailand has never observed daylight saving time, making Bangkok's offset predictable and constant year-round — a significant convenience for international business scheduling.
Bangkok shares ICT with several Southeast Asian neighbours including Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, Phnom Penh, and Vientiane. Singapore and Kuala Lumpur are 1 hour ahead (UTC+8), while Jakarta is on the same offset (UTC+7).
For teams coordinating with Bangkok from London, the sweet spot is 8–11 AM London time (3–6 PM Bangkok). From Dubai (UTC+4), Bangkok is 3 hours ahead — a 9 AM Dubai start equals noon in Bangkok, providing excellent morning overlap.
The Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) trades 10 AM to 12:30 PM and 2:30 PM to 4:30 PM ICT on weekdays.
