Time difference between Bangkok and Madrid
Madrid is 5 hours behind Bangkok
Bangkok, Thailand is UTC+7 · Madrid, Spain is UTC+1 — on standard time
The gap is not the same all year
Every converter gives one number for this pair. That number is right for most of the year and wrong for part of it, because Bangkok does not change its clocks and Madrid goes forward on the last Sunday in March and back on the last Sunday in October.
| Bangkok / Madrid clocks | Difference | How long |
|---|---|---|
| standard / summer | 5 hours behind | about 30 weeks |
| standard / standard | 6 hours behind | about 22 weeks |
Bangkok stays put all year while Madrid moves, so the gap changes twice a year from Madrid's side alone. A recurring meeting set in Bangkok's calendar will drift by an hour without anyone touching it.
