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

Quick answers. Before you book the call.
What's the time difference between Dallas and Bangkok?
Dallas is 12 hours ahead of Bangkok. Dallas runs on GMT-5 and Bangkok on GMT+7. 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 Dallas from Bangkok?
About 14,524 km as the crow flies (great-circle distance). A non-stop commercial flight cruises that in roughly 17h 35m, 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 Dallas and Bangkok use?
Dallas uses the United States dollar (USD, $); Bangkok uses the Thai baht (THB, ฿). 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 Dallas from Bangkok?
Dial the international prefix used by your carrier (often 00), then +1, 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 Dallas and Bangkok?
Dallas primarily speaks English; Bangkok speaks Thai. English is widely used in business contexts in major cities of both, but written contracts may need translation.
Do Dallas and Bangkok drive on the same side of the road?
No. United States drives on the right, Thailand on the left. If you're renting, expect a learning curve on the first day — especially at roundabouts and when judging the centre of the lane.
