Time in Daily Life
Thailand uses UTC+7 year-round with no daylight saving, so Bangkok, Chiang Mai, and Phuket all share one clock.
The country has kept a fixed offset for decades, which keeps scheduling simple despite the tropical heat that shapes when people are active.
The hottest part of the day pushes activity into the early morning and late evening, with night markets and street food busy well past 21:00.
The Songkran water festival in April marks the new year with city-wide play, and the cool season from November to February is the most comfortable for travel and temples.
Bangkok's skytrain and the overnight trains north to Chiang Mai run on one UTC+7 clock, and the regional flights to Phuket keep the whole kingdom on a single schedule.
