Did you look at your itinerary? Your itinerary gives you the arrival time in Bangkok and it also gives you the date too! (At least all of my itineraries have had that information on them.) The times on your itinerary for arrival in Bangkok will for "local time" Thailand. When I used to use KAL many years ago from New York they used to fly through Alaska and from there to Seoul and then from there to Bangkok.

Look at your itinerary and you should see the arrival day and time, you don't have to add hours or days to that printed schedule.
If you are still not sure you can call your airline or travel agent and ask them to explain the arrival time and date to you and they will email you an itinerary if necessary. (To keep track of time back in the US I use a cheap digital watch with two time zones on it. Time zone TWO I use for US time. Time Zone ONE I change to match the time of each stop.)

Or, you can pull up Korean Air home page on the internet. Enter your name and Flight Confirmation Number where indicated and you will get an itinerary if you haven't got one. The itinerary will have the arrival times and dates on it. (Sign up for the frequent flier program if you haven't already done so. Flights to Asia add a lot of miles to your record. Korean Air is part of Skyteam, if you have a Skyteam frequent flyer member card you can use it and accrue miles. Northwest and Delta are part of the Skyteam alliance) If you are not familiar with military time make sure you are leaving at noon and not midnight.



Good luck.
