Why people convert United Kingdom to ICT time

  • Scheduling a call from United Kingdom to ICT: a 10:00 AM start in United Kingdom lands at 4:00 PM in ICT, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
  • Finding shared working hours: both United Kingdom and ICT are inside the 9-to-5 working day between 9:00 AM and 11:00 AM BST time (3:00 PM–5:00 PM ICT). That is roughly 2 hours of usable overlap.
  • Watching a live event or market open: United Kingdom viewers need 3:00 PM in ICT to catch a 9:00 AM start there, and 6:00 PM if the event is anchored to United Kingdom.
  • Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM BST" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a +6h gap is not.
  • Block 9:00 AM–11:00 AM BST as the recurring meeting window if you work primarily from United Kingdom and need ICT colleagues present.
  • United Kingdom: Clocks fall back on Sun, Oct 25, 2026. Re-check this page after that date because the offset changes and so does the +6h gap.

GMT is often used interchangeably with UTC (Coordinated Universal Time), although technically they are different – UTC is based on atomic clocks while GMT is based on Earth's rotation.

About ICT (Indochina Time)

Indochina Time (ICT) is used across Southeast Asia including Vietnam, Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia. Indonesia (Western time, WIB) also uses UTC+07:00. ICT does not observe daylight saving time.
