What is the time difference between Bangkok and New York?

New York is 11 hours behind Bangkok. That figure is current — it changes by an hour when either city starts or ends daylight saving, and the exact dates are listed above.

When is the best time to call New York from Bangkok?

Does Bangkok observe daylight saving time?

No. Bangkok stays on UTC+7 all year, so its clocks never move.

Does New York observe daylight saving time?

Yes. New York runs on UTC-5 in winter and UTC-4 in summer. The next change is on 2026-11-01, when clocks go back by 60 minutes.

If it is midday in Bangkok, what time is it in New York?

It is 01:00 in New York, on the same calendar date. That holds for the current offsets; it shifts by an hour around the daylight saving dates listed above.

Which time zones do Bangkok and New York use?

Bangkok uses Asia/Bangkok, currently UTC+7, and New York uses America/New_York, currently UTC-4 (EDT). Those identifiers are the ones to use in code — abbreviations are ambiguous and offsets change.
