Best overlap: 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM in Bangkok is 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM in Sydney.
Schedule calls for 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM in Bangkok — your colleagues in Sydney will be online from 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Despite the 3-hour difference, a 7-hour overlap keeps things simple and gives both teams breathing room. These times hold for most of the year, but Sydney's daylight saving (which Bangkok doesn't use) shifts them by an hour twice annually.
