Understanding the -11h Gap: Bangkok vs EDT

Bangkok runs on Indochina Time (ICT) at UTC+07:00. EDT runs on Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) at UTC-04:00. That puts Bangkok 11 hours behind EDT — a difference of -11h at the current offsets.

In practice, when it is 9:00 AM in Bangkok it is 10:00 PM in EDT on the previous day. Midnight in Bangkok is 1:00 PM in EDT. Neither zone observes daylight saving time, so the offset between them stays constant all year.

Why people convert Bangkok to EDT time

Scheduling a call from Bangkok to EDT: a 10:00 AM start in Bangkok lands at 11:00 PM in EDT the previous day, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
Handling a -11h gap: Bangkok and EDT 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 EDT is 10:00 PM in Bangkok.
Coordinating a Bangkok-based team with EDT 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 -11h gap is not.
With a -11h gap there is no shared 9-to-5 window, so alternate the early start: one week Bangkok takes the early slot, the next week EDT does.

About ICT (Indochina Time)

Indochina Time (ICT) is used across Southeast Asia including Vietnam, Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia. Indonesia (Western time, WIB) also uses UTC+07:00. ICT does not observe daylight saving time.

About EDT (Eastern Daylight Time)

Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) is used during the summer months (second Sunday of March to the first Sunday of November) in the Eastern Time Zone. During EDT, clocks are advanced by one hour to take advantage of longer daylight hours. Not all locations in the Eastern Time Zone observe DST – Panama, Jamaica, and most of the Caribbean remain on EST year-round.

Best time to call between Bangkok and EDT

With a -11h offset there is no overlap inside a normal 9 AM – 5 PM day. EDT opens at 9:00 AM EDT, which is 10:00 PM in Bangkok, so real-time calls need an early-morning or late-evening slot on one side.

Business hours overlap

Bangkok and EDT have no shared working hours because of the -11h gap. Teams need to alternate early starts or rely on asynchronous handovers.

Bangkok is 11 hours behind EDT (ICT UTC+07:00 → EDT UTC-04:00). There is no shared 9-to-5 window, so plan around an early or late slot. Remember to re-check around daylight-saving transitions.
