How the gap works

The gap is not constant. Because London changes its clocks for daylight saving time and Bangkok does not, the difference becomes 7 hours for part of the year. The live section above shows the exact gap right now and when it next changes.

  • London (United Kingdom) is in the Europe/London time zone: UTC+0 (GMT) or UTC+1 (BST).
  • Bangkok (Thailand) is in the Asia/Bangkok time zone: UTC+7.
