About Battambang Time Zone
Battambang uses the IANA time zone Asia/Phnom_Penh, the standard time zone for Cambodia. Its standard offset is UTC+7:00, which means local time in Battambang is seven hours ahead of Coordinated Universal Time throughout the year.
Cambodia does not observe daylight saving time, so Battambang stays on UTC+7 in every month, including January, June, and October. That consistency is useful for international scheduling because the local clock in Battambang never shifts forward or backward; only the offset from places like New York or London changes seasonally when those countries enter or leave DST.
Battambang is located in northwestern Cambodia, near the Thai border, and shares the same time as Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, and all other Cambodian cities. It also matches neighboring regional business centers such as Bangkok and Ho Chi Minh City on UTC+7, while being 1 hour behind Singapore and Kuala Lumpur (UTC+8) and 2 hours behind Tokyo (UTC+9), which matters for airline connections, regional trade, and same-day business communication across Southeast and East Asia.
