What time is it in Thailand?

Thailand stays on UTC+7:00 all year. Its offset from UTC never moves, so its relationship to places that do change shifts twice a year instead — which is usually why someone checks. Right now it is 7 hours ahead of UTC, and 12 hours ahead of New York.

Bangkok is 12 hours ahead of New York and 15 hours ahead of Los Angeles. 9am in New York is 9:00 pm in Bangkok.

To convert a specific time rather than read the current one, the converter shows both directions with the next clock change for each.

The day is 11 hours 31 minutes long in Bangkok, and losing 1 minute a day. The sun peaks within a few minutes of twelve o’clock, so Thailand’s offset fits its longitude about as closely as a whole-hour offset can.

Bangkok lies inside the tropics, so the sun passes directly overhead at noon twice a year — around April 27 and August 16 in 2026, when a vertical object casts almost no shadow. Nowhere outside the tropics ever sees that. The longest day is 12 hours 56 minutes and the shortest 11 hours 19 minutes, 97 minutes apart.

Thailand’s offset has not moved once since 1970 — no daylight saving, and no change of zone.

On UTC+7:00 right now, the same clock as Thailand:
