About time in Bangkok
Bangkok runs on Indochina Time, seven hours ahead of UTC, and serves as the commercial hub of mainland Southeast Asia. Thailand does not observe daylight saving time, so Bangkok stays fixed at UTC+7 all year, making it a stable reference for the region even as partner cities in Europe, North America, and Australia shift their clocks. The city’s tropical latitude near 13°N means daylight varies only modestly across the year, which is part of why seasonal clock changes never took hold. The Stock Exchange of Thailand opens at 10:00 local time and closes at 16:30, and Bangkok’s business calendar is shaped by national holidays and the Songkran water festival in mid-April, which traditionally marks the Thai New Year and slows commerce for several days. As a major aviation and tourism gateway, Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport operates around the clock, and the fixed UTC+7 offset makes the city a dependable anchor for scheduling across the ASEAN region.
