Understanding the Rome – Bangkok Time Difference
Rome runs on Europe/Rome, currently CEST (UTC+2:00). Bangkok runs on Asia/Bangkok, currently UTC+7:00. The gap of 5 hours is simply the distance between those two offsets.
Rome observes Daylight Saving Time and Bangkok does not, so the gap between them shifts by an hour twice a year. The next shift is on Sunday, October 25, 2026, when Rome adjusts its clocks and the difference becomes 6 hours. Anything scheduled across that date needs checking again.
