Understanding the Time Difference Between Bangkok and Dubai
Dubai operates on the Asia/Dubai timezone, which is 3 hours behind Bangkok's Asia/Bangkok timezone. This means when it's noon in Bangkok, it's 9:00 in Dubai.
Best Hours for Business Communication
The optimal window for scheduling calls or meetings between Bangkok and Dubai is when both cities are within their standard business hours (9:00-18:00 in Bangkok and 9:00-18:00 in Dubai).
Based on this overlap, we recommend scheduling meetings during the shared business hours window where both cities are within their typical 9:00–17:00 workday.
