Enriched Operating Guide
Chiang Mai leads Chittagong by 1 hour, centering the shared decision block at 10:00–17:00 Chiang Mai time. Your Chittagong team enters at 09:00 their time — one hour earlier than the Chiang Mai side, giving that city a reasonable morning ramp. This is a mixed-culture pair: Chiang Mai brings a creative, relaxed energy shaped by digital nomads and local tourism, while Chittagong operates through a practical, trade-focused lens as Bangladesh's major maritime hub. The lunch signals for both cities overlap inside this band, so the slot is more fragile than the offset implies.
Overlap And Burden
The overlap runs 10:00 to 17:00 Chiang Mai / 09:00 to 16:00 Chittagong. The scheduling burden is shared relatively evenly — neither city bears a significantly heavier load.
Meeting Recommendation
> Best window: 10:00–16:00 Chiang Mai / 09:00–15:00 Chittagong on weekdays — keep live sessions decisive. > Do not schedule past 17:00 Chiang Mai — Chittagong exits at 16:00 their time. > Use the Chittagong 09:00–09:30 ramp for async prep so the live session starts clean.
