Bangkok Business Pulse
- Culture Respectful and hierarchical. The "Sanuk" principle (fun) means keeping a positive and calm atmosphere.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Call between 10:00 AM and 11:30 AM or 2:00 PM and 4:30 PM. Always maintain a calm, polite tone ("Jai Yen"). Showing anger or impatience ("Jai Rorn") will lead to a loss of respect. Use the "Wai" (traditional greeting) if on video, and always address people with the polite title "Khun".
Los Angeles Business Pulse
- Culture Creative, informal, and networking-heavy. Influenced by the entertainment and tech industries.
- Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Mornings are often spent dealing with East Coast syncs; domestic LA calls are best between 11:00 AM and 3:00 PM. The culture is more casual than NYC, but still very results-oriented. Traffic is the ultimate local variable; virtual meetings are the standard for avoiding commute-related delays.
