If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Thanabela day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 03:30–11:30 UTC. Convert your own hours into UTC once and you can tell at a glance whether someone there is likely to be at their desk.
Thanabela follows the civil time used across its region of Sri Lanka; there is no separate local reckoning inside the city.
The zone identifier Asia/Colombo is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Asia/Colombo keeps pointing at Colombo time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
