Understanding the Los Angeles – Bangkok Time Difference
Los Angeles runs on America/Los_Angeles, currently PDT (UTC-7:00). Bangkok runs on Asia/Bangkok, currently UTC+7:00. The gap of 14 hours is simply the distance between those two offsets.
Los Angeles 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, November 1, 2026, when Los Angeles adjusts its clocks and the difference becomes 15 hours. Anything scheduled across that date needs checking again.
