Time difference between Houston and Bangkok
Houston

Bangkok
—
Bangkok is 12 hours ahead of Houston right now.
Does the gap change?
The gap isn't fixed. Houston changes its clocks for daylight saving time and Bangkok doesn't, so the difference moves during the year:
- From around November 2, 2026: Bangkok ahead by 13 hours
- From around March 15, 2027: Bangkok ahead by 12 hours
Best time to meet
Normal office hours in Bangkok and Houston don't overlap. The most workable window is 7 PM to 10 PM in Houston, which is 7 AM to 10 AM in Bangkok, with one side starting early or finishing late.
For a recurring meeting, it's fairest to rotate which city takes the inconvenient slot.
