Bangkok → New York time converter
Compare ICT (Asia/Bangkok) with ET (America/New_York) — accurate offsets, DST checks, and planning helpers for calls and travel.
Choose origin and destinations
Type "Bangkok", "BKK", or "Asia/Bangkok" as the origin, then add New York ("New York", "NYC", or "America/New_York"). The field accepts city names, abbreviations, and IANA codes.
Live clocks or custom time
Toggle Live to observe current clocks or switch to Custom to audition future meeting times — useful because Bangkok is generally ahead of New York by 11–12 hours.
Format, verify DST & share
Pick from 13+ output formats (12h, 24h, ISO, custom), run the DST Checker on the New York card, then copy or share a link to lock the exact timestamps for invitees.
Why this converter helps
- One origin → many destinations Start with Bangkok and add New York plus any other cities; the layout shows each destination as its own card so you can compare multiple timezones at a glance.
- Meaningful time segments Each destination shows segments (Morning, Work AM, Lunch, Work PM, Evening, Night) so you can quickly spot reasonable meeting slots for both Bangkok and New York.
- Travel-friendly planning Use the Jet Lag Planner to generate suggested sleep and nap windows for eastbound or westbound travel — handy for long-haul flights between the U.S. East Coast and Southeast Asia.
- Action buttons on every card Swap flips origin/destination, Copy copies a formatted timestamp, DST Checker explains local offsets, and Share Link preserves your current layout for teammates.
- Undo / Redo / Reset Try multiple scenarios without worry — undo or redo changes, or reset to the default Bangkok→New York configuration any time.
Scheduling tips & context
Understand the DST nuance
Bangkok uses a fixed offset (UTC+7). New York observes DST (EST/EDT), so the difference is 12 hours when New York is on standard time and 11 hours during daylight saving. Verify with the DST Checker for recurring events.
Best windows for live calls
For the least friction, schedule New York morning (07:00–10:00 ET) which maps to Bangkok evening (18:00–21:00 or 19:00–22:00 depending on DST) — friendly for both business and personal calls.
Recurring meetings & DST
If you set a recurring meeting by local time in New York, note that daylight saving transitions may shift the Bangkok local time by an hour. Use the share link to show fixed UTC timestamps to participants if you want absolute stability.
Custom mode for events and flights
Use Custom mode to audition several candidate times quickly — great for webinar scheduling or checking arrival times after a long flight connecting through the U.S. or Asia.
A short time-history note
Modern standardized timezones (IANA) replaced local solar time; this stability is why scheduled remote work and global events are manageable today — but DST quirks still require a quick check for transatlantic and transpacific meetings.
Frequently asked questions
Exactly how many hours ahead is Bangkok compared to New York?
Bangkok is typically 12 hours ahead of New York when New York is on standard time (EST, UTC−5). During New York daylight saving time (EDT, UTC−4) the gap is 11 hours. Use the converter’s DST Checker for precise conversions on specific dates.
Why does the time difference sometimes change?
The difference changes because New York observes daylight saving time while Bangkok does not. When clocks in New York spring forward, the Bangkok local time that matches a given New York time will shift by one hour.
Can I enter IANA codes like Asia/Bangkok and America/New_York?
Yes — the tool accepts city names, abbreviations (BKK, NYC), and IANA identifiers (Asia/Bangkok, America/New_York) for accurate conversions.
Is there a recommended slot for cross-continental team meetings?
Aim for New York early morning (07:00–10:00 ET) — it becomes Bangkok evening and usually balances professional hours for both sides. Use Live or Custom preview to confirm on your chosen dates.
Does the tool handle multiple destinations at once?
Yes — you can compare New York with other cities (London, Singapore, Los Angeles, etc.) in a single view to find the best multi-party time.
Intercontinental Business Routes
How the converter works
- Enter origin: "Bangkok", "BKK", or "Asia/Bangkok". Add destination: "New York", "NYC", or "America/New_York".
- The converter uses IANA timezone data to compute UTC offsets (Asia/Bangkok = UTC+7; America/New_York toggles between UTC-5 and UTC-4) and applies DST rules where relevant.
- Choose Live to view real-time clocks, or Custom to set a specific timestamp and test meeting windows across the two cities.
- Use built-in actions: Swap, Copy, Jet Lag Planner, DST Checker, Undo/Redo, Reset, and Share Link to save or send the exact converted timestamps.
