About ICT

Indochina Time (ICT) is UTC+7. It is used in Bangkok, Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and Jakarta.

Indochina Time is UTC+7, covering Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos, with no daylight saving in any of them. Bangkok and Hanoi keep the same clock, which makes the region unusually simple to schedule across — the complication is only ever with the countries around it, since Myanmar is at UTC+6:30 and Malaysia at UTC+8.

About BDT

Bangladesh Standard Time (BDT) is UTC+6. It is used in Bangladesh, all year.

Bangladesh Standard Time is UTC+6 with no daylight saving. It is more often written BST, which is where the trouble starts: BST also means British Summer Time at UTC+1, and the two readings are five hours apart. Converter sites split on which they answer for and rarely say. BDT is the unambiguous way to write it, and worth using in anything that matters.

Does this gap change with the seasons?

Neither ICT nor BDT shifts with the seasons, so this 1-hour difference holds all year. That is unusual enough to be worth relying on: most cross-continental gaps move twice a year.

This is the reason scheduling systems store an IANA zone such as Region/City rather than an offset or an abbreviation: the zone knows its own rules and the offset does not.
