Kampot, Cambodia

Current time in Kampot, Cambodia

The current time shown for Kampot is valid across the province. A journey from Kampot city toward the coast or the foothills may change the scenery and sunrise view, but it never requires a clock change.

Add seven hours to UTC to obtain Kampot time. If the sum crosses midnight, Kampot is on the following calendar date. That date difference is common when arranging contact with locations well to Cambodia’s west.

The sea has tides and the hills have shadows; fortunately, neither is allowed to adjust the clock. Kampot’s UTC offset stays fixed. Recurring calls with countries that observe summer time can nevertheless shift by an hour on the foreign participant’s calendar.

How Kampot’s time zone works

Indochina Time is normally written as ICT. Its offset is UTC+7, and it is Cambodia’s nationwide civil standard. Kampot therefore shares its local time with Phnom Penh, Kep, Sihanoukville, and all other places in the country.

Standard zone: Indochina Time Common abbreviation: ICT Offset from UTC: seven hours ahead Daylight saving time: not observed Time difference on domestic trips: zero For travel confirmations, include the date and identify the time as local Kampot time. For international work, adding UTC+7 prevents confusion caused by devices that automatically display events in their owner’s current zone.

Cities, district centres, and coastal sunrise

Kampot city is the provincial capital and the largest urban reference within the province. Chhouk and Kampong Trach are notable district centres. Bokor is also widely recognised as a destination and locality, although labels such as city, municipality, commune, and district are not interchangeable.

These places all keep ICT, yet they do not have perfectly identical sunrise observations. Longitude and latitude affect the calculated event, while mountains and the visible horizon influence when direct sunlight actually reaches an observer.

On the coast, the horizon may appear open in one direction, but nearby terrain still shapes dawn in another. In the uplands, a ridge can delay visible sunshine without altering the official astronomical calculation or local clock.

Select Kampot city or the closest listed place. Use the precise date of the outing. Check whether the result means sunrise or the start of twilight. Account for cloud, terrain, and the viewing direction.

A daily sunrise result is most useful for departures, photography, exercise, and outdoor work when treated as a reference rather than a guarantee of clear sunlight.
