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 PKT

Pakistan Standard Time (PKT) is UTC+5. It is used in Pakistan, all year.

Pakistan Standard Time is UTC+5 and does not change through the year — daylight saving has been tried twice and abandoned twice. It sits half an hour behind India, which is the only pair of neighbouring countries in the region separated by a half-hour step rather than a whole one, and a common source of missed calls across that border.

Does this gap change with the seasons?

Neither ICT nor PKT shifts with the seasons, so this 2-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.
