Current Time in Bangkok

About time in Bangkok

Bangkok keeps Indochina Time at a constant UTC+7, with no daylight saving to track. Thailand sits at the heart of mainland Southeast Asia, sharing this offset with neighbors like Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos. Because the clocks never move, the time difference between Bangkok and other cities only ever shifts when those other places change for summer. The sprawling capital, with a metro population near 11 million, holds steady on the same offset all twelve months of the year.

Bangkok does not make seasonal clock changes under its current rules. Its offset is UTC+7 (no DST). The live clock above reads Bangkok's local time directly from the IANA time zone database in your browser, using the rules installed on your device.

Daylight in Bangkok through 2026

Bangkok sits at about 13.8°N, 100.5°E. The longest day of 2026 is June 12, with 12h 56m between sunrise and sunset. The shortest is December 13, with 11h 19m, a difference of 1 h 37 min. Bangkok lies close to the equator, so its day length barely changes through the year and sunrise stays near the same hour in every season.

The earliest sunrise of the year comes around May 25 (05:49) and the latest sunset around June 28 (18:49). These are not exactly on the solstice because the sun’s position runs slightly ahead of or behind clock time during the year.

Solar noon, when the sun is highest, falls at about 12:25 local time in late March, 12:19 in late June and 12:15 in late December. In standard time the sun is highest at about 12:18 on average, close to 12:00, so the clock and the sun are well aligned in Bangkok.
