Complete Time Zone Guide for Myanmar
SyncMyTime displays accurate time for Yangon, Mandalay, Naypyidaw, and Myanmar cities. Myanmar Standard Time (MMT, UTC+6:30) uses a unique 30-minute offset.
Time Zone History
Myanmar adopted UTC+6:30 in 1920 during British colonial rule, calculated as exactly 6 hours 30 minutes ahead of GMT based on Yangon's longitude. This 30-minute offset distinguishes Myanmar from neighboring countries. The military government briefly considered changing to UTC+6 or +7 for easier coordination but retained the unique offset as part of national identity.
Culture & Daily Rhythm
Myanmar daily life revolves around Buddhist temple schedules and traditional practices. The workday often runs 9 AM-5 PM. Myanmar operates on relaxed 'Myanmar time' culturally. Monks' morning alms rounds (around 6 AM) structure early schedules. Markets are busiest in morning. Political instability affects all timing. Full moon days are significant for Buddhist observances. Power cuts occasionally disrupt schedules.
