Enriched Operating Guide
Bangkok sits 1 hour ahead of Dhaka, producing a 7-hour decision lane from 10:00 to 17:00 Bangkok time. This is a tighter coupling than many apac-sa pairs, giving your teams a longer shared window but with less flexibility on either end. The lunch overlap for both cities lands inside this band, making the slot more fragile than the modest 1-hour offset suggests.
Overlap And Burden
The overlap spans 10:00 to 17:00 Bangkok / 09:00 to 16:00 Dhaka. The scheduling burden is shared relatively evenly — neither city bears a significantly heavier load.
Meeting Recommendation
> Best window: 10:00–16:00 Bangkok / 09:00–15:00 Dhaka on weekdays. > Close out all live sessions before 17:00 Bangkok — Dhaka exits at 16:00 their time. > Use the 09:00–10:00 hour on the Dhaka side for async prep so the bridge window stays clean.
How This Pair Actually Operates
Bangkok and Dhaka still share most of the workday, so fast live alignment is practical without forcing one side into repeated after-hours calls.
Use a stable recurring slot and reserve async updates for prep and follow-up, not for the main decision itself.
This pair can usually decide live on the same day. Protect the strongest focus band instead of scattering short meetings across the calendar.
A fixed recurring slot is sustainable for this pair if it stays inside the shared focus block.
Best Async Lane Right Now
Dhaka → Bangkok
Async still matters for prep and follow-up, but the live window is good enough that decisions can usually happen inside the same cycle.
Bangkok will more likely pick this up at the next business opening.
Bangkok is currently in evening mode, so the next business opening is the safest assumption.
Scheduling Pressure Points
