Hi,
It looks like some time zone abbreviations are not supported by
`date`. For example, THA is not supported. Can a more comprehensive

These abbreviations are handled outside of coreutils.
They're best avoided anyway, and instead the less ambiguous
location based zones are better to use.
I've some details on this at:
