About Paoy Paet Time Zone
Paoy Paet uses the IANA time zone Asia/Phnom_Penh, which is the standard time zone used across Cambodia. Its standard offset is UTC+7, meaning local time in Paoy Paet is seven hours ahead of Coordinated Universal Time throughout the entire year.
Cambodia does not observe daylight saving time, so Paoy Paet stays on UTC+7 year-round with no seasonal clock changes in March, October, or November. That makes scheduling simpler than with cities in Europe or North America, where offsets shift during DST periods; for example, the gap between Paoy Paet and London is 7 hours in winter but 6 hours in summer because London changes clocks while Paoy Paet does not.
Paoy Paet is located in Banteay Meanchey Province in northwestern Cambodia, directly near the Thai border. Its time matches Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, and Sihanoukville, and it also matches Bangkok and Ho Chi Minh City on UTC+7, which is useful for overland travel, border commerce, bus schedules, and regional business coordination across mainland Southeast Asia.

Paoy Paet is a border city in Cambodia with an estimated population of 79,000, making it an important urban center for cross-border movement between Cambodia and Thailand.
