Okay, so the other day I was planning a virtual game night with my friends, and one of them is currently backpacking through Thailand. The biggest headache? Figuring out the time difference so we could all jump on at the same time. I specifically needed to know the time in Bangkok.

My first instinct was to just Google it. I typed in something like “what time is it in Bangkok Thailand”.
My Search Process
- First Try: I searched “current time Bangkok”. I got a box right at the top of the results with the time. Super straightforward.
- Second Try (Just to be Sure): You know, just to be extra certain, I typed “Bangkok time zone”. This showed me the time zone (GMT+7) and confirmed it was “Indochina Time”.
- Check the Result:I quickly learned how many hours difference that will be with my friends and I.
Honestly, it took like two seconds. I found out and immediately share the result to my friends, Then boom! We fixed our schedule.
