Bangkok is the capital of Thailand, with a population of about 5,104,476. It uses the Indochina Time time zone (IANA identifier Asia/Bangkok).
Bangkok does not observe daylight saving time, so the clock stays on UTC+7 all year round. The time difference with places that do change their clocks — such as most of Europe and North America — therefore shifts by one hour twice a year.
Other cities on the same clock include Hanoi.
Because Bangkok lies at 13.75° N, 100.50° E, the length of the day changes only slightly through the year: around the June solstice there are about 12 h 56 min of daylight, and around the December solstice about 11 h 19 min.
