This view is useful when you need to line up work hours across UTC+8 markets, such as scheduling a supplier call in a region that also works with Singapore, Hong Kong, or Western Australia business hours.Add comparison cities or time zones: Click + Add City and search for time zones that matter to your schedule, such as HKT, SGT, or AWST, all of which share the same UTC+8 offset as CHOT. This is helpful for operations teams, logistics planners, and regional sales staff who need to confirm whether a meeting in CHOT aligns exactly with other Asia-Pacific business hubs.
Select a working time range on the grid: Click Select, then drag across the CHOT row to highlight a block such as 9 AM to 12 PM on the 24-hour timeline; the selected range appears in purple and can be adjusted with the side handles or moved by dragging the center. Because CHOT is UTC+8, comparing that block against other UTC+8 rows lets you confirm that the same local clock time applies across those zones, which is useful for planning handoffs, support coverage, or same-day approvals.
Export and share the result: After selecting a range, use the export options for ICS download, Google Calendar, Gmail, Copy to clipboard, or Share link. These options are practical when you want to send a confirmed CHOT meeting window to a distributed team so each person can save the event, email it to stakeholders, or reuse the shared link in project documentation.
About Choibalsan Time (CHOT)
CHOT stands for Choibalsan Time. Its standard offset is UTC+8, which means local time in CHOT is eight hours ahead of Coordinated Universal Time.
Choibalsan Time does not observe daylight saving time and has no counterpart. That makes it a fixed-offset time standard throughout the year, without seasonal switching to another abbreviation.
CHOT shares the same UTC+8 offset with several other abbreviations: AWST, BNT, CAST, CST, H, HKT, HOVST, IRKT, KRAST, MYT, PHT, SGT, ULAT, and WITA. For practical scheduling, this means a clock reading in CHOT matches the local clock time in those same-offset zones when no seasonal adjustment applies.
CHOT and Daylight Saving Time
CHOT does not observe DST. There is no daylight saving transition, no seasonal clock change, and no alternate summer or winter counterpart abbreviation.
Because CHOT stays on UTC+8 all year, there are no DST start dates, end dates, or switching times to track in the current year. This is especially useful for recurring meetings, long-running support schedules, and regional coordination where a stable offset reduces calendar errors.
