Time difference between Vancouver and Bangkok

Bangkok is 14 hours ahead of Vancouver

Vancouver, Canada is UTC−8 · Bangkok, Thailand is UTC+7 — on standard time

The gap is not the same all year

Every converter gives one number for this pair. That number is right for most of the year and wrong for part of it, because Vancouver goes forward on the second Sunday in March and back on the first Sunday in November and Bangkok does not change its clocks.

Bangkok stays put all year while Vancouver moves, so a meeting fixed in Bangkok's calendar shifts by an hour twice a year at Vancouver's end.

When they can both be at their desks

Nine-to-five in Vancouver and nine-to-five in Bangkok do not overlap at all. With 14 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.
