Does it account for Daylight Saving Time?

Yes, our converter uses the IANA timezone database, which includes all current DST rules for every timezone in the world.

UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) is the primary time standard by which the world regulates clocks. All timezones are defined as offsets from UTC.

Can I compare multiple timezones at once?

Yes, you can add multiple cities or timezones and see the equivalent times side by side.

How many timezones are there in the world?

There are 38 distinct UTC offsets in use, ranging from UTC-12 to UTC+14. This includes half-hour (UTC+5:30 India, UTC+9:30 Australia) and 45-minute offsets (UTC+5:45 Nepal, UTC+8:45 Australia).

What is the International Date Line?

The International Date Line (IDL) runs roughly along the 180° meridian in the Pacific Ocean. When you cross it westward, you gain a day; crossing eastward, you lose a day.

Why do some timezones have 30 or 45 minute offsets?

Countries chose offsets that best matched their solar noon. India uses UTC+5:30 and Nepal uses UTC+5:45 because standard hourly offsets didn't align well with their geography.

Which country has the most timezones?

France has the most (12 timezones) due to overseas territories. Russia spans 11 timezones. The US has 6 (including Hawaii and Alaska).

Understanding the +10h Gap: Chile vs Thailand

Chile runs on Chile Summer Time (CLST) at UTC-03:00, currently observing daylight saving time. Thailand runs on Indochina Time (ICT) at UTC+07:00. That puts Chile 10 hours ahead of Thailand — a difference of +10h at the current offsets.

In practice, when it is 9:00 AM in Chile it is 7:00 PM in Thailand. Midnight in Chile is 10:00 AM in Thailand.Chile observes daylight saving time while Thailand does not, so the gap narrows or widens by an hour part of the year.

Why people convert Chile to Thailand time

Scheduling a call from Chile to Thailand: a 10:00 AM start in Chile lands at 8:00 PM in Thailand, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
Handling a +10h gap: Chile and Thailand have no overlap inside a normal 9-to-5 day, so real-time meetings need an early-morning or late-evening slot on one side. 9:00 AM in Thailand is 7:00 PM in Chile.
Booking travel or deliveries: tracking Thailand local time against Chile keeps pickup windows and arrival estimates honest across the +10h offset.

Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM CLST" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a +10h gap is not.
With a +10h gap there is no shared 9-to-5 window, so alternate the early start: one week Chile takes the early slot, the next week Thailand does.
Chile: Clocks fall back on Sun, Apr 4, 2027. Re-check this page after that date because the offset changes and so does the +10h gap.

About CLT (Chile Standard Time)

Chile Standard Time (CLT) is the standard time in Chile. During summer months (October to March), Chile switches to Chile Summer Time (CLST, UTC-03:00). Chile is the longest north-south country in the world.

About ICT (Indochina Time)

Best time to call between Chile and Thailand

With a +10h offset there is no overlap inside a normal 9 AM – 5 PM day. Thailand opens at 9:00 AM ICT, which is 7:00 PM in Chile, so real-time calls need an early-morning or late-evening slot on one side.

Business hours overlap

Chile and Thailand have no shared working hours because of the +10h gap. Teams need to alternate early starts or rely on asynchronous handovers.

Chile is 10 hours ahead of Thailand (CLST UTC-03:00 → ICT UTC+07:00). There is no shared 9-to-5 window, so plan around an early or late slot. Remember to re-check around daylight-saving transitions.
