How the gap works

The gap is not constant. Because Cairo changes its clocks for daylight saving time and Bangkok does not, the difference becomes 4 hours for part of the year. The live section above shows the exact gap right now and when it next changes.

  • Cairo (Egypt) is in the Africa/Cairo time zone: UTC+2 (EET) or UTC+3 (EEST).
  • Bangkok (Thailand) is in the Asia/Bangkok time zone: UTC+7.
