When the clocks change
The gap moves when either city changes its clocks. The next twelve months:
| Dates | Bangkok is | Both at work (Bangkok time) | Easiest (Bangkok / San Diego) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Now to March 14, 2027 | 15 hours ahead | None | 8 AM / 5 PM |
| March 14, 2027 to November 7, 2027 clocks in San Diego go forward | 14 hours ahead | None | 7:30 AM / 5:30 PM |
| November 7, 2027 onward clocks in San Diego go back | 15 hours ahead | None | 8 AM / 5 PM |
Bangkok keeps the same clock as Jakarta; San Diego keeps the same clock as San Francisco.
