Why people convert Thailand to Taipei time
- Scheduling a call from Thailand to Taipei: a 10:00 AM start in Thailand lands at 11:00 AM in Taipei, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
- Finding shared working hours: both Thailand and Taipei are inside the 9-to-5 working day between 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM ICT time (10:00 AM–5:00 PM CST). That is roughly 7 hours of usable overlap.
- Coordinating a Thailand-based team with Taipei 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 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 Thailand and need Taipei colleagues present.
