About Indochina Time (ICT)

Indochina Time (ICT, IANA: Asia/Bangkok, Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh) is the civil time of mainland Southeast Asia (excluding Myanmar + Indonesia), set at UTC+7:00 year-round (no DST). ICT serves approximately 250 million people across: Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Christmas Island (Australian territory in Indian Ocean), Java + Sumatra + western Indonesia (which uses Western Indonesian Time WIB = identical UTC+7 offset). ICT shares its offset with Krasnoyarsk Time (Russia, UTC+7) and Davis Antarctica research station. Major ICT cities: Bangkok Thailand (10.7M metro — Southeast Asia's largest tourist destination + ASEAN economic hub), Ho Chi Minh City Vietnam (10M city, 14M metro — formerly Saigon, Vietnam's largest city), Hanoi Vietnam (8M metro — capital), Jakarta Indonesia (10.5M city, 35M metro — uses WIB which is identical to ICT but a different zone-name), Phnom Penh Cambodia (2M), Vientiane Laos (820K). Affects: SET (Stock Exchange of Thailand) trading hours, HOSE + HNX (Vietnam stock exchanges) trading, Phnom Penh Securities Exchange (CSX) hours, Bangkok BTS Skytrain + MRT subway operating hours, and ASEAN diplomatic-meeting schedules.

About Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)

Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is the primary time standard by which the world regulates clocks and time, defined since 1972 as the time at the Prime Meridian (0° longitude) maintained by BIPM (Bureau International des Poids et Mesures) in Sèvres, France. UTC is computed as a weighted average of approximately 400 atomic clocks at ~80 national metrology institutes (NIST in the US, NPL in UK, PTB in Germany, NICT in Japan, KRISS in Korea, etc.) per the formal definition in ITU-R Recommendation TF.460-6 (2002). UTC is functionally identical to GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) for civil purposes but differs slightly in its underlying timescale — UTC uses atomic seconds with occasional leap seconds inserted (announced by IERS Bulletin C ~6 months in advance, last leap second was December 31, 2016, and the system may be retired by 2035 per Resolution D of CGPM 2022). UTC is the standard for aviation (ICAO Annex 5), maritime navigation (IMO COLREGS), all internet protocols (NTP, PTP per IEEE 1588), all scientific publications, GPS / Galileo / GLONASS / BeiDou GNSS, and Universal Time on Wikipedia/Wikidata.
