What time is it in Cambodia right now? 🇰🇭

It is 2:09 am in Phnom Penh right now, Sunday, September 27, 2026. Cambodia runs on UTC+7. Every reading on this page is computed from the IANA time zone database at the moment you loaded it, and the clocks above and below tick on from there.

Time in Cambodia now

Cambodia keeps a single time zone, Asia/Phnom_Penh, so there is one answer to the question and it is the same in every town: 2:09 am. The offset is UTC+7, and it never moves.

The offset from UTC in Phnom Penh is UTC+7, which is 7 hours ahead of Coordinated Universal Time. Nine in the morning in Phnom Penh is 2:00 am UTC.

Cambodia time zone in full

Each row is a zone identifier from the IANA database, its reading at this instant, its offset from UTC and whether it is currently on standard or summer time. All of them agree today, which is the usual case for Cambodia.

Does Cambodia have daylight saving time?

No part of Cambodia moves its clocks. The offset stays at UTC+7 through the whole year, which means a difference worked out today against Cambodia is still right in six months. Most of the world now works this way; the daylight saving habit is concentrated in Europe, North America and a short list of others.

A fixed offset makes Cambodia an easy place to schedule against, with one caveat: the country at the other end of the call may still be moving its clocks, so the gap can change even though nothing changed here. The windows further down this page are worked out at the current instant for exactly that reason.

Where Cambodia is on the map

The marker is on Phnom Penh, the point every sun reading and every call window on this page is worked out from.

Time difference between Phnom Penh and major cities

Worked out at this instant rather than from a stored table, so daylight saving on either side is already in it.

Best time to call Cambodia

A nine to five working day in Phnom Penh against a nine to five day elsewhere. The overlap column is the stretch when both desks are open, given on each side's own clock.

Daylight hours in Phnom Penh today

In Phnom Penh the sun rose at 5:49 am today and sets at 5:53 pm, giving 12 hours 4 minutes of daylight. The capital is losing 38 seconds of daylight a day at the moment, and the sun stands highest at 11:51 am.

Solar noon in Phnom Penh is 11:51 am, which is 9 minutes before clock noon. That gap is the capital sitting at 104.93 degrees east while its clock is set to Asia/Phnom_Penh, plus the equation of time, which today runs 8.9 minutes ahead of mean time.

Moon phase over Phnom Penh tonight

The moon is waning gibbous tonight, 15.7 days into the current lunation, with roughly 99 percent of the disc lit. The next full moon falls on October 26, 2026 as Cambodia reads the date, at 11:11 am local. The moon phase page has the full cycle.

Every IANA time zone in Cambodia

These are the identifiers a computer uses. A program that stores Asia/Phnom_Penh rather than UTC+7 keeps working through every future rule change, which is the whole reason the database is keyed this way.

Information about Cambodia

Cambodia sits in Asia, carries the ISO country code KH and a population of about 16,940,000. Its capital Phnom Penh is at 11.56 degrees north, 104.93 degrees east, which is the coordinate every sunrise and solar noon on this page is computed from.

Upcoming dates in Cambodia

Read on Cambodia's own clock, so the day counts below start from September 27 and not from a UTC date. The list is the internationally observed calendar plus the dates common across Asia, along with this country's own clock changes and the next solstices and equinoxes. National days set by a country's own statute are not included, because this site carries no statute table and a guessed one would be worse than an honest gap.

Sun and moon in Phnom Penh today

The sun is up in Phnom Penh for 12 hours 4 minutes today, from 5:49 am to 5:53 pm. The moon sets in Phnom Penh at 6:03 am and comes up again at 6:15 pm. The next phase is the last quarter on October 3, 2026. The moon is full, or as near to it as makes no difference, and the whole of the face turned towards us is lit.

Twilight is graded by how far the sun has dropped below the horizon. Civil twilight ends six degrees down, which is roughly the point at which you need a light to read outside. Nautical twilight ends at twelve degrees, when the horizon at sea stops being usable for a sextant sight. Astronomical twilight ends at eighteen degrees, which is full darkness for an observer.

Golden hour is the stretch with the sun between six degrees above the horizon and four below it, and blue hour runs from there down to six degrees below. Neither is literally an hour: each is as long as the sun takes to cross those few degrees, which is minutes near the equator and can be most of the evening at high latitude.

Moonrise and moonset are computed to the moment the moon's upper edge touches a flat horizon, allowing for refraction, for the size of the disc and for the moon's parallax, which together put the centre of the moon at 0.125 degrees above the horizon at the instant it rises. That is a different horizon from the one sunrise uses, and it is why a moonrise time cannot be worked out with a sunrise formula.

Prayer times in Phnom Penh

Seven days from September 27, 2026, computed for Phnom Penh at 11.56 degrees north, 104.93 degrees east, on the clock of Asia/Phnom_Penh. The method is Muslim World League (Muslim World League, Mecca), which puts Fajr at 18.0 degrees below the horizon and Isha at 17.0 degrees. Asr uses the Standard shadow ratio of 1, which is the Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali position.

Dhuhr is solar noon at Phnom Penh, the instant the Sun crosses the local meridian, so it moves with longitude inside the time zone and with the equation of time through the year rather than sitting at a fixed clock reading. Sunrise and Maghrib are the standard refracted horizon, the same 0.833 degrees every almanac uses. Every figure above is computed from the Sun's position for this exact coordinate; none of it is copied from a table.

Different methods disagree, and that is expected rather than an error. Fajr under ISNA at 15 degrees comes later than Fajr under Egyptian General Authority of Survey at 19.5 degrees, by twenty minutes or more depending on latitude and season. Follow whichever your local mosque follows.

Qibla direction from Phnom Penh

From Phnom Penh the qibla is 288.3 degrees on a true compass, which is west-northwest, or 18.3 degrees south of due west. The Kaaba is 6,983 km away, 4,339 miles, measured over the surface of the Earth.

That figure is the initial bearing of the great circle from Phnom Penh to 21.4225 degrees north, 39.8262 degrees east, which is the Kaaba inside Masjid al-Haram.

The bearing is measured from true north, not magnetic north. A magnetic compass points at the magnetic pole, and the difference between the two can be anything from nothing to more than twenty degrees depending where you are, so check your compass reading against magnetic declination for Phnom Penh before you use it. A phone compass set to true north, or the shadow of a vertical stick at local solar noon, avoids the problem entirely.
