Why people convert Vancouver to Dhaka time
- Scheduling a call from Vancouver to Dhaka: a 10:00 AM start in Vancouver lands at 11:00 PM in Dhaka, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
- Handling a +13h gap: Vancouver and Dhaka have no overlap inside a normal 9-to-5 day, so real-time meetings need an early-morning or late-evening slot on one side. 9:00 AM in Dhaka is 10:00 PM in Vancouver.
- Coordinating a Vancouver-based team with Dhaka contacts: quoting times in the other side's local clock — not your own — removes the single biggest source of missed meetings.
- Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM PDT" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a +13h gap is not.
- With a +13h gap there is no shared 9-to-5 window, so alternate the early start: one week Vancouver takes the early slot, the next week Dhaka does.
About PST (Pacific Standard Time)
Pacific Standard Time (PST) covers the west coast of North America, including tech hubs like San Francisco and Seattle, and entertainment capital Los Angeles. The Pacific Time Zone is home to Silicon Valley and the world's largest technology companies. During summer, clocks advance to Pacific Daylight Time (PDT, UTC-07:00). PST is also observed in Baja California, Mexico.
About BDST (Bangladesh Standard Time)
Bangladesh Standard Time (BDST) is the single time zone used across Bangladesh, fixed at UTC+06:00 all year. Bangladesh has not observed daylight saving time since a short-lived experiment in 2009, so the gap between Bangladesh and every other zone is constant. Dhaka, the capital, is one of the most densely populated cities in the world. Because the country sits close to the middle of the UTC+06:00 band, solar noon is near 12:00 for most of the year. BDST is listed separately from British Summer Time, which shares the BST abbreviation but is UTC+01:00.
