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).

Everything You Need to Know About Thailand and Nepal Time

Thailand runs on Indochina Time (ICT) at UTC+07:00. Nepal runs on Nepal Time (NPT) at UTC+05:45. That puts Thailand 1 hour 15 minutes behind Nepal — a difference of -1h 15m at the current offsets.

In practice, when it is 9:00 AM in Thailand it is 7:45 AM in Nepal. Midnight in Thailand is 10:45 PM in Nepal. Neither zone observes daylight saving time, so the offset between them stays constant all year.

Why people convert Thailand to Nepal time

Scheduling a call from Thailand to Nepal: a 10:00 AM start in Thailand lands at 8:45 AM in Nepal, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
Finding shared working hours: both Thailand and Nepal are inside the 9-to-5 working day between 10:15 AM and 5:00 PM ICT time (9:00 AM–3:45 PM NPT). That is roughly 6 hours 45 minutes of usable overlap.
Keeping family and friends in sync: knowing that 8:00 PM in Thailand is 6:45 PM in Nepal makes it easy to avoid calling at 3 AM.

Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM ICT" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a -1h 15m gap is not.
Block 10:15 AM–5:00 PM ICT as the recurring meeting window if you work primarily from Thailand and need Nepal colleagues present.

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 NPT (Nepal Time)

Nepal Time (NPT) runs at UTC+05:45, one of only a handful of time zones worldwide that are not a whole or half hour from UTC. Nepal set its offset to 5 hours 45 minutes ahead of UTC in 1986 to mark the country's position between the 75°E and 90°E meridians; Kathmandu's solar time sits just over 5 hours 41 minutes ahead of Greenwich, so the 45-minute offset tracks the sun more closely than either 5:30 or 6:00 would. Nepal does not observe daylight saving time, so NPT is fixed all year. The offset makes Nepal 15 minutes ahead of India Standard Time (UTC+05:30) and 2 hours 15 minutes ahead of Dubai (UTC+04:00).

Best time to call between Thailand and Nepal

Both Thailand and Nepal sit inside the 9 AM – 5 PM working day between 10:15 AM–5:00 PM ICT, which is 9:00 AM–3:45 PM NPT. That gives roughly 6 hours and 45 minutes of shared time — the safest window for a live call or meeting.

Business hours overlap

Thailand and Nepal share 6 hours of working-hours overlap (10:15 AM–5:00 PM ICT), so scheduling a live meeting is straightforward.

Thailand is 1 hour 15 minutes behind Nepal (ICT UTC+07:00 → NPT UTC+05:45). The shared working window is 10:15 AM–5:00 PM ICT. Remember to re-check around daylight-saving transitions.
