Bangkok to Chicago: Time Difference & Best Time to Meet
Set against a 12-hour difference, Bangkok and Chicago run their workdays on completely separate schedules. Block a single recurring off-hours slot that both teams agree on, rather than negotiating a new awkward time every week. Daylight saving complicates things slightly: Chicago observes it, Bangkok doesn't, so the difference flexes by an hour part of the year.
