What sets Myanmar's clock apart
- Half an hour off the hour
- 30 min
- Myanmar's offset ends in a half hour. Bangkok is 30 minutes ahead of Yangon. Dhaka is 30 minutes behind Yangon. The Department of Civil Aviation writes the offset as a number, six and a half hours ahead of UTC. The time zone database gives the zone no letter code either, so this page prints the offset.
- Rangoon time, before the half hour
- ~5 min
- Burma's railways and telegraphs once ran on Rangoon local time. The time zone database puts that time about five minutes behind the present clock. The half-hour offset dates from the years just after the First World War.
- The wartime clock
- +2.5 h
- During the Second World War, Myanmar's clocks ran two and a half hours ahead of the usual offset. The time zone database records that setting for three years. Then the clocks went back to the half hour, and there they have stayed.
- The Cocos Islands keep Myanmar's time
- 0 h
- The Cocos (Keeling) Islands, out in the Indian Ocean, keep the same offset as Myanmar. Their clocks do not change either. The time zone database files them under Yangon. Perth is 1 hour 30 minutes ahead of both.
Questions about time in Myanmar
What time zone is Myanmar in?
Myanmar is in one time zone, UTC+6:30. Yangon, Mandalay and Nay Pyi Taw all show the same time. The Department of Civil Aviation gives local time as six and a half hours ahead of UTC. The time zone database calls the zone Asia/Yangon, with Asia/Rangoon kept as an older name.
Does Myanmar have daylight saving time?
No. Myanmar's clocks show UTC+6:30 in every month of the year. The last change the time zone database records came in the last months of the Second World War. The gaps with Europe and North America still shift twice a year, because those places change their clocks.
What is the time difference between Myanmar and Thailand?
Bangkok is 30 minutes ahead of Yangon. Neither Thailand nor Myanmar changes its clocks, so the gap holds in every month. Noon in Yangon is half past twelve in Bangkok. Laos keeps Bangkok's time, so the same half hour applies to Vientiane.
What is the time difference between Myanmar, India and Bangladesh?
Kolkata is 1 hour behind Yangon. Dhaka is 30 minutes behind Yangon. None of the three countries changes its clocks, so both gaps hold through the year. A call at ten in the morning in Yangon reaches Kolkata at nine and Dhaka at half past nine.
What is the time difference between Myanmar and the UK or the US?
London is 6 hours 30 minutes behind Yangon in the British winter. In British summer time the gap shrinks by one hour, as Myanmar does not change its clocks. New York is 11 hours 30 minutes behind Yangon in winter, and an hour closer in summer. So a Yangon morning is still the evening before in New York.
