UTC+07:00
UTC+07:00 is an identifier for a time offset from UTC of +07:00. In ISO 8601 the associated time would be written as 2020-08-16T10:17:14+07:00. It is 7 hours ahead of the UTC, meaning areas in this time zone would be 07:00 while UTC is shown to midnight (00:00).

Discrepancies between official UTC+07:00 and geographical UTC+07:00
Since legal, political and economic in addition to physical or geographical criteria are used in the drawing of time zones, it follows that official time zones do not precisely adhere to meridian lines.
The UTC+07:00 time zone, were it drawn by purely geographical terms, would consist of exactly the area between meridians 97°30′ E and 112°30′ E.
As a result, there are places which, despite lying in an area with a "physical" UTC+07:00 time, actually use another time zone.
Conversely, there are areas that have gone for UTC+07:00, even though their "physical" time zone is UTC+08:00, UTC+06:00, or even UTC+05:00.

Historical time offsets
The Republic of China's offset for this time zone is Kansu-Szechwan, and is used until 1949, when the Communists ruled over China and making UTC+08:00 the standard time for all Mainland China. Formerly, from 1918 to 1949, this time offset is used in eastern Sikang and Tsinghai, central Outer Mongolia (1921-1924), and all of Yunnan, Kwangsi, Kweichow, Ningsia, Suiyuan, Kansu, and Shensi
This time zone is also the standard of Malaysia and Singapore from 1 June 1905, to 31 December 1932.
