According to itypeusa, Thailand is a country located in Southeast Asia, bordered by Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia and Malaysia. It has a population of approximately 69 million people, with the majority being ethnic Thai. The capital city is Bangkok and the official language is Thai. Thailand has a long and rich history that dates back to ancient times when it was inhabited by various tribes including the Mon and the Khmer people. It was later colonized by the French in 1867 before becoming part of British Indochina after World War II until gaining independence in 1949. Today, Thailand’s economy is largely dependent on its tourism sector which employs 12% of its workforce and makes up 20% of its GDP. Additionally, agriculture remains an important source of income for many people with rice being one of its main crops. The culture in Thailand is heavily influenced by both Asian and European influences due to its long colonial history with both countries. This can be seen through its cuisine which combines elements from both cultures as well as its traditional festivals which reflect a mix of Asian and European customs. Religion plays an important role in society with Buddhism being the predominant faith followed by Islam making up much of the population. Thailand is located in the Indochina time zone, which is seven hours ahead of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC +7). The country does not observe Daylight Saving Time, so its time remains constant throughout the year. This means that when it’s noon in Thailand, it’s 05:00 UTC. Thailand has two main time zones, Thai Standard Time (TST) and Indochina Time (ICT). TST is used in all parts of the country except for some areas near the borders with Myanmar and Laos. In these border areas, ICT is observed. The reason for this is that both countries use ICT as their official time zone. As a result, having two different times in such close proximity can cause confusion and delay communication between people in both countries. In addition to these two main time zones, Thailand also observes certain local times known as “solar times” or “sun times”. These are determined by the sun’s position relative to a specific location rather than by an official clock or watch. Solar times are most commonly observed by fishermen who use them to determine when to cast their nets and by farmers who use them to decide when to plant crops. Even though solar times are not officially recognized, they are still widely used throughout Thailand because they are more convenient than trying to keep track of two different official clocks.
