Why people convert Dubai to Bangkok time

Scheduling a call from Dubai to Bangkok: a 10:00 AM start in Dubai lands at 1:00 PM in Bangkok, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
Finding shared working hours: both Dubai and Bangkok are inside the 9-to-5 working day between 9:00 AM and 2:00 PM GST time (12:00 PM–5:00 PM ICT). That is roughly 5 hours of usable overlap.
Watching a live event or market open: Dubai viewers need 12:00 PM in Bangkok to catch a 9:00 AM start there, and 9:00 PM if the event is anchored to Dubai.

Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM GST" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a +3h gap is not.
Block 9:00 AM–2:00 PM GST as the recurring meeting window if you work primarily from Dubai and need Bangkok colleagues present.
