| UTC Offset: UTC +7 |
Indochina Time (ICT) operates at UTC+7 and is used as the standard time in several countries across mainland Southeast Asia. It is sometimes simply referred to as "Southeast Asia Time" or "Thailand Time", depending on the context. ICT remains fixed throughout the year, as the regions using it do not observe daylight saving time.
Importance and Global Use of ICT
ICT provides a uniform time standard for countries within the Indochina Peninsula, simplifying regional coordination in sectors such as government, education, transport, broadcasting, and business operations. The consistency of UTC+7 without daylight changes ensures smooth domestic scheduling throughout the year.
Internationally, ICT is important for trade, manufacturing, outsourcing, tourism, and digital services in Southeast Asia. The time zone is strategically positioned between major economic regions like China, India, and Australia, making it critical for real-time coordination, especially in industries that operate across Asian and global markets.
