How to Check Time in Cambodia
Open the Cambodia time converter: Go to https://www.xconvert.com/time-converter/cambodia. The page loads Cambodia with Phnom Penh as the main reference row, which is useful if you are planning a supplier call, NGO coordination, or a remote meeting with teams working in Cambodia’s garment, tourism, or development sectors.
Add comparison cities: Click + Add City and search for cities such as Bangkok, Singapore, and London. Bangkok is relevant because Thailand shares the same UTC+7 offset, Singapore is important for regional finance and logistics, and London is commonly used by international NGOs, investors, and global teams coordinating with Phnom Penh.
Select a working time range on the grid: Click Select to enable selection mode, then drag across Phnom Penh’s row from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM. This shows a practical comparison: 9:00 AM in Cambodia is 2:00 AM in London during standard time and 3:00 AM in London during British Summer Time, while it remains 9:00 AM in Bangkok and 10:00 AM in Singapore, helping you see immediately whether a morning meeting in Phnom Penh works for regional or European participants.
Export or share the selected time: After selecting the range, use the export options shown on the page: ICS download, Google Calendar, Gmail, Copy to clipboard, or Share link. This is especially useful when sending a confirmed meeting slot to a Cambodia-based factory partner, a Phnom Penh hotel contact, or an international project team so each person sees the time converted correctly in their own calendar.
Time Zones in Cambodia
Cambodia has one official time zone across the entire country: Indochina Time (ICT), which is UTC+7. Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, Battambang, Sihanoukville, and all other provinces follow the same national time, so there is no internal time difference when scheduling domestic travel, business operations, or government services.
A key practical point is that Cambodia does not use multiple time zones like the United States or Russia, and it also does not use a half-hour or quarter-hour offset like India (UTC+5:30) or Nepal (UTC+5:45). Cambodia’s whole-hour offset makes international planning simpler: when it is 9:00 AM in Phnom Penh, it is 8:00 AM in Bangkok, 10:00 AM in Singapore, 11:00 AM in Tokyo, and 2:00 AM UTC.
Cambodia’s time alignment is closely tied to mainland Southeast Asia. It shares UTC+7 with Thailand, Laos, and Vietnam, which is useful for cross-border trade, Mekong-region logistics, overland travel, and regional manufacturing supply chains. For example, a trucking or sourcing operation moving goods between Phnom Penh and Ho Chi Minh City does not need to account for a clock change, even when crossing the border.
Cambodia Country Details
Cambodia is a country in Asia with its capital at Phnom Penh, the country’s political, economic, and transport center. Phnom Penh hosts major government institutions, garment industry headquarters, banks, and growing technology and startup activity, making it the main city people use when checking Cambodia time for business or official coordination.
The country has a population of 16,249,798 and a land area of 181,040 km². This places Cambodia among the medium-sized countries of Southeast Asia, with major population and commercial activity concentrated around Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, and key provincial corridors connected to Thailand and Vietnam.
Cambodia’s official currency is the Cambodian riel (KHR), although US dollars are also widely used in everyday commerce, especially in tourism, hospitality, and some urban transactions. The country’s listed languages here are km, fr, en, meaning Khmer, French, and English; Khmer is the national language, while English is widely used in tourism, NGOs, and international business, and the international dialing code is +855 for calls into Cambodia.
Daylight Saving Time in Cambodia
Cambodia does not observe daylight saving time (DST). Clocks stay on Indochina Time (UTC+7) throughout the entire year, so there are no spring-forward or fall-back clock changes to track when scheduling with Phnom Penh or other Cambodian cities.
There have been no recent national DST changes and no active regional exceptions within the country. Every province and city follows the same standard time year-round, which is helpful for airlines, tour operators, factories, embassies, and distributed teams because a meeting set for 3:00 PM Cambodia time in January will still be 3:00 PM Cambodia time in July.
The main complication comes from the other country’s DST rules, not Cambodia’s. For example, Cambodia stays 7 hours ahead of UTC all year, but its difference from London changes from 7 hours ahead in winter to 6 hours ahead in summer, and its difference from New York changes from 12 hours ahead during US standard time to 11 hours ahead during US daylight time.
Frequently Asked Questions
how many time zones does Cambodia have?
Cambodia has one time zone for the entire country. All cities and provinces, including Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, and Sihanoukville, use Indochina Time (ICT), UTC+7, so there is no domestic clock difference to consider when traveling or scheduling meetings inside Cambodia.
does Cambodia use daylight saving time?
No, Cambodia does not use daylight saving time. The country remains on UTC+7 all year, with no seasonal clock changes in March, October, or any other month, unlike countries in Europe or North America.
what is the time difference between Cambodia and UTC?
Cambodia is 7 hours ahead of UTC, written as UTC+7. That means when it is 12:00 noon UTC, it is 7:00 PM in Phnom Penh, and when it is 12:00 midnight UTC, it is 7:00 AM in Cambodia.
what currency does Cambodia use?
Cambodia’s official currency is the Cambodian riel (KHR). In practice, many businesses—especially hotels, restaurants, and tourism operators in Phnom Penh and Siem Reap—also commonly handle US dollar pricing, but the official national currency remains KHR.
what is the dialing code for Cambodia?
The international dialing code for Cambodia is +855. If you are calling a Phnom Penh business, hotel, embassy contact, or local mobile number from abroad, you would begin with +855 followed by the local number without the domestic trunk prefix if applicable.
what time zone abbreviation is used in Cambodia?
The standard abbreviation used for Cambodia is ICT, which stands for Indochina Time. This is the same abbreviation used by neighboring countries in the same UTC+7 regional time standard, including Thailand, Laos, and Vietnam.
is Cambodia the same time as Thailand or Vietnam?
Yes, Cambodia is on the same time as both Thailand and Vietnam, because all three use UTC+7 year-round. This is particularly useful for cross-border trade, regional flights, and business coordination, since a meeting set for 10:00 AM in Phnom Penh is also 10:00 AM in Bangkok and 10:00 AM in Ho Chi Minh City.
