Bangalore to Bangkok Meeting Time & Timezone Overlap

If your team straddles Bangalore and Bangkok, the constraint that shapes every meeting invite is the 1.5-hour difference between Asia/Kolkata and Asia/Bangkok. Because the two cities share 7.5 hours of business time, the practical question is when to meet, not whether to meet. Use the table below to see exactly which hours line up, which ones are partial-overlap, and when daylight-saving transitions move the window in 2026.

Bangalore–Bangkok working-hour overlap window

The shared working window is 9:00 AM – 4.5:00 PM in Bangalore (Asia/Kolkata), which lines up with 10.5:00 AM – 6:00 PM in Bangkok (Asia/Bangkok).

For recurring meetings the most attendance-friendly start time is 9:00 AM Bangalore time. Booking inside the shared window means neither side has to take the call before breakfast or after dinner.
