Thailand to Anchorage Time Difference – Complete Guide

Thailand runs on Indochina Time (ICT) at UTC+07:00. Anchorage runs on Alaska Daylight Time (AKDT) at UTC-08:00, also currently on daylight saving time. That puts Thailand 15 hours behind Anchorage — a difference of -15h at the current offsets.

In practice, when it is 9:00 AM in Thailand it is 6:00 PM in Anchorage on the previous day. Midnight in Thailand is 9:00 AM in Anchorage.Anchorage observes daylight saving time while Thailand does not, so the gap narrows or widens by an hour part of the year.

Why people convert Thailand to Anchorage time

Scheduling a call from Thailand to Anchorage: a 10:00 AM start in Thailand lands at 7:00 PM in Anchorage the previous day, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
Handling a -15h gap: Thailand and Anchorage 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 Anchorage is 6:00 PM in Thailand.
Coordinating a Thailand-based team with Anchorage contacts: quoting times in the other side's local clock — not your own — removes the single biggest source of missed meetings.

Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM ICT" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a -15h gap is not.
With a -15h gap there is no shared 9-to-5 window, so alternate the early start: one week Thailand takes the early slot, the next week Anchorage does.
Anchorage: Clocks fall back on Sun, Nov 1, 2026. Any meeting series spanning that date will shift by an hour in local time.

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.

About AKST (Alaska Standard Time)

Alaska Standard Time (AKST) is used in nearly all of Alaska. Due to Alaska's vast geographic size, the Aleutian Islands use Hawaii-Aleutian Standard Time instead. During summer months, Alaska switches to Alaska Daylight Time (AKDT, UTC-08:00).

Best time to call between Thailand and Anchorage

With a -15h offset there is no overlap inside a normal 9 AM – 5 PM day. Anchorage opens at 9:00 AM AKDT, which is 6:00 PM in Thailand, so real-time calls need an early-morning or late-evening slot on one side.

Business hours overlap

Thailand and Anchorage have no shared working hours because of the -15h gap. Teams need to alternate early starts or rely on asynchronous handovers.

Thailand is 15 hours behind Anchorage (ICT UTC+07:00 → AKDT UTC-08:00). There is no shared 9-to-5 window, so plan around an early or late slot. Remember to re-check around daylight-saving transitions.
