Question: What Timezone is Thailand?
Answer: The timezone in Thailand is referred to as ICT, which stands for Indochina Time (although many countries in the region are not on ICT time). ICT is +7 hours from UTC/GMT (Coordinated Universal Time/Greenwich Mean Time).

There is no daylight saving time in Thailand, so the time difference changes depending on the time of the year.

During daylight saving time (second Sunday of March to first Sunday of November in the US) Thailand is 11 hours ahead of the east coast of the US, 12 hours ahead of central US, and 14 hours ahead of the west coast of the US.

Without daylight saving time, Thailand is 12 hours ahead of the east coast, 13 hour ahead of central US and 15 hours ahead of the west coast.
