When the world meets at work.
Read the day in both zones.
Crossing the border. Money, language, plugs.
Money changes hands at the border: Bangkok uses the THB (฿) and Orlando uses the USD ($). Language shifts too — Thai in Bangkok, English in Orlando. Be careful behind the wheel: Bangkok drives on the left, Orlando on the right.

Quick answers. Before you book the call.
What's the time difference between Bangkok and Orlando?
Bangkok is 11 hours behind Orlando. Bangkok runs on GMT+7 and Orlando on GMT-4. The gap can shift by an hour when either side enters or leaves daylight saving — the live clocks above always reflect the current offset.
When's the best time to schedule a meeting?
Standard 09:00–17:00 workdays don't intersect. Most teams compromise with one side meeting early (before 09:00) or late (after 17:00).
Does daylight saving time change the difference?
Yes, if either city observes DST. When one side shifts and the other doesn't, the gap changes by one hour. The DST badges under each clock show whether each zone is currently shifted and when the next transition lands.
How far is Bangkok from Orlando?
About 15,308 km as the crow flies (great-circle distance). A non-stop commercial flight cruises that in roughly 18h 31m, not counting airport time, winds, or routing around restricted airspace.
Can I send this meeting time as a calendar invite?
Yes. Pick a time on the slider above, open the meeting card, customize the title and duration, then download the .ics file. It imports cleanly into Google Calendar, Outlook, and Apple Calendar with the correct timezone attached.
What currency do Bangkok and Orlando use?
Bangkok uses the Thai baht (THB, ฿); Orlando uses the United States dollar (USD, $). Check the live rate before transferring money or paying with a card abroad — most banks add a 1–3 % FX margin on top of the mid-market rate.
How do I call Bangkok from Orlando?
Dial the international prefix used by your carrier (often 011), then +66, then the local number — drop any leading zero of the city or mobile code. For free calls, WhatsApp, Signal, and FaceTime work over Wi-Fi regardless of country code.
What language is spoken in Bangkok and Orlando?
Bangkok primarily speaks Thai; Orlando speaks English. English is widely used in business contexts in major cities of both, but written contracts may need translation.
Do Bangkok and Orlando drive on the same side of the road?
No. Thailand drives on the left, United States on the right. If you're renting, expect a learning curve on the first day — especially at roundabouts and when judging the centre of the lane.
