About
Working across 3 hours of time difference
Dubai and Bangkok are close enough (3 hours) that a normal workday call poses little challenge. Most slots between 10 AM and 4 PM in either city land cleanly in the other's business hours. Pick a time that suits the agenda; both teams can attend without disruption.
Daylight Saving Time can shift the gap by an hour twice a year. The North American DST window does not align with the European one, so the offset between Dubai and Bangkok can drift in late March and again in early November. Use this page to re-check your standing meeting on each transition.
FAQ
What's the best time for a meeting between Dubai and Bangkok?
Best overlap: 7:00 AM–10:00 AM Dubai time (2/2 zones in business hours). The strongest business-hour overlap is UTC 3:00–7:00, which is Dubai 7:00 AM–10:00 AM and Bangkok 10:00 AM–1:00 PM locally.
What is the time difference between Dubai and Bangkok?
Dubai is currently UTC+04:00 and Bangkok is UTC+07:00, a difference of 3 hours. The exact gap can shift by one hour when one city switches to or from Daylight Saving Time.
Should we shift the meeting if one city changes Daylight Saving Time?
Yes — when only one of the two cities observes DST, the overlap window moves by an hour. Re-check this page in the weeks around March/April and October/November and adjust your standing meeting accordingly. The 24-hour grid below always reflects the current correct offset.
Can I schedule a daily standup that works for both Dubai and Bangkok?
Yes — the offset is only 3 hours, so any mid-morning or mid-afternoon slot in either city will fall in working hours for both. A 10am or 3pm in Dubai usually works well.
