Why people convert Bangkok to Kuala Lumpur time

Scheduling a call from Bangkok to Kuala Lumpur: a 10:00 AM start in Bangkok lands at 11:00 AM in Kuala Lumpur, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
Finding shared working hours: both Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur are inside the 9-to-5 working day between 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM ICT time (10:00 AM–5:00 PM MYT). That is roughly 7 hours of usable overlap.
Watching a live event or market open: Bangkok viewers need 10:00 AM in Kuala Lumpur to catch a 9:00 AM start there, and 11:00 PM if the event is anchored to Bangkok.

Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM ICT" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a +1h gap is not.
Block 9:00 AM–4:00 PM ICT as the recurring meeting window if you work primarily from Bangkok and need Kuala Lumpur colleagues present.
