What time is it?

Let’s just say eastern for popularity sake. 3AM or 2AM?

Umm, 3:09AM EST at the moment.

Oh, Eastern Standard Time. My bad.

o3:17:30 PSt

6:51 PM (18:51) in Thailand, 12 hours before New York IIRC.

We’d be 7:53 PM now if then-P.M. Thaksin had had his way, imposing year-around “savings time” so that impatient stock traders in Hong Kong or Singapore wouldn’t ignore Bangkok’s 1-hour later opening. (Plan was not adopted, as it required schoolchildren to go to school in the dark in time to clear the traffic jams for brokers and bankers.)
