Why people convert Thailand to Tehran time

Scheduling a call from Thailand to Tehran: a 10:00 AM start in Thailand lands at 6:30 AM in Tehran, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
Finding shared working hours: both Thailand and Tehran are inside the 9-to-5 working day between 12:30 PM and 5:00 PM ICT time (9:00 AM–1:30 PM IRST). That is roughly 4 hours 30 minutes of usable overlap.
Watching a live event or market open: Thailand viewers need 5:30 AM in Tehran to catch a 9:00 AM start there, and 3:30 AM if the event is anchored to Thailand.

Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM ICT" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a -3h 30m gap is not.
Block 12:30 PM–5:00 PM ICT as the recurring meeting window if you work primarily from Thailand and need Tehran colleagues present.
