Time difference between Bangkok and Lima

Lima is 12 hours behind Bangkok

Bangkok, Thailand is UTC+7 · Lima, Peru is UTC−5 — on standard time

The gap holds all year

Neither city changes its clocks — Bangkok does not change its clocks and Lima does not change its clocks — so 12 hours is the difference in January and in July alike. That is worth knowing about this pair specifically, because most international pairs do move and a recurring meeting between them does not need checking twice a year.

When they can both be at their desks

Nine-to-five in Bangkok and nine-to-five in Lima do not overlap at all. With 12 hours between them, one side is always outside working hours, and the practical question is which side takes the early start or the late finish rather than when to meet.
