How the gap moves through the year

The gap never changes: Bangkok is 1 hour behind Singapore on every day of the year, because neither city uses daylight saving time.

Singapore does not change its clocks: it stays on UTC+8 (Singapore Standard Time) all year.

Bangkok does not change its clocks: it stays on UTC+7 (Indochina Time) all year.

Everything on this page also holds if you swap Singapore for Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen or Taipei, or Bangkok for Ho Chi Minh City, Jakarta, Hanoi, Novosibirsk or Phnom Penh — those cities follow exactly the same clock all year.

Working hours that overlap

In January, a 9-to-5 day in both cities shares 7 hours: 10:00 am–5:00 pm in Singapore, which is 9:00 am–4:00 pm in Bangkok.

July gives exactly the same window.

Across the week

At 9:00 on a Monday morning in Singapore, it is 8:00 am on Monday in Bangkok.

Daylight, distance and night calls

Singapore and Bangkok are about 1,430 km (891 miles) apart and 3° of longitude apart, which by the sun alone would be 15 minutes.

In mid-January the sun is up in Singapore from about 7:12 am to 7:15 pm, and the sun is up in Bangkok from about 6:45 am to 6:09 pm; both cities are in daylight at the same time for about 11 hours 30 minutes.

In mid-July the sun is up in Singapore from about 7:05 am to 7:16 pm, and the sun is up in Bangkok from about 5:58 am to 6:50 pm; both cities are in daylight at the same time for about 12 hours 15 minutes.
