- Finding shared working hours: both Lisbon and Bangkok are inside the 9-to-5 working day between 9:00 AM and 11:00 AM WEST time (3:00 PM–5:00 PM ICT). That is roughly 2 hours of usable overlap.
- Watching a live event or market open: Lisbon viewers need 3:00 PM in Bangkok to catch a 9:00 AM start there, and 6:00 PM if the event is anchored to Lisbon.
