Why people convert WET to Bangkok time
- Scheduling a call from WET to Bangkok: a 10:00 AM start in WET lands at 5:00 PM in Bangkok, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
- Finding shared working hours: both WET and Bangkok are inside the 9-to-5 working day between 9:00 AM and 10:00 AM WET time (4:00 PM–5:00 PM ICT). That is roughly 1 hours of usable overlap.
- Watching a live event or market open: WET viewers need 4:00 PM in Bangkok to catch a 9:00 AM start there, and 5:00 PM if the event is anchored to WET.
- Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM WET" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a +7h gap is not.
- Block 9:00 AM–10:00 AM WET as the recurring meeting window if you work primarily from WET and need Bangkok colleagues present.
