No clock changes: Thailand stays on UTC+7 all year.
Time zone in Thailand
Thailand uses a single time zone: UTC+7 all year. Every clock in the country shows the same time.
Bangkok lies at 100.5° east, where mean solar time is UTC+6:42 (four minutes per degree of longitude). The clocks run 18 min ahead of the sun, so on average the sun is highest at about 12:18 PM.
Daylight saving time in Thailand
No. Thailand stays on UTC+7 all year, and the tz database records no daylight saving time here at any point.
That is typical near the equator: day length barely changes through the year, so moving the clocks would gain almost nothing.
Clock history of Thailand
The record begins with local mean time (clocks set by the sun, UTC+6:42 in Bangkok), which ended on December 31, 1879, when BMT (UTC+6:42) replaced it. The record shows no daylight saving time at any point. The table summarises the clocks of Thailand year by year since 1970, from the tzdata entry Asia/Bangkok.

Rows from 2027 on follow the rules in tzdata 2026f; a government decision would change them in the next release.
