Current Time in Mawlamyine
How to Check Current Time in Mawlamyine, Myanmar
Open the Mawlamyine time converter page: Go to https://www.xconvert.com/time-converter/myanmar/mawlamyine to load Mawlamyine pre-selected on the visual comparison grid in the Asia/Yangon time zone. This is useful if you are planning a supplier call in Mon State, checking a travel connection through Myanmar, or coordinating with a remote team that works on Myanmar Time.
Add comparison cities with the “+ Add City” button: Click + Add City and search for cities such as London, Dubai, and Singapore to compare Mawlamyine against major finance, shipping, and trade hubs that often interact with Southeast Asia. You could also add New York if you need to see whether a US-based client call will fall late at night in Myanmar, since Mawlamyine runs far ahead of North American time zones.
Drag across the grid to select a meeting window: Click Select to enter selection mode, then drag across Mawlamyine’s row from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM to highlight a practical local business window in purple. On that same selection, you can immediately see that 9:00 AM in Mawlamyine is 3:30 AM in London during GMT, 4:30 AM during British Summer Time, 10:30 PM in New York during EST, or 11:30 PM during EDT on the previous day, which helps you avoid scheduling a call at an unreasonable hour.
Export or share the selected time range: After selecting a range, use the export options for ICS download, Google Calendar, Gmail, Copy to clipboard, or Share link depending on how you want to send the schedule. For example, an ICS file is practical for a cross-border operations meeting, while a share link is faster when confirming a Mawlamyine–Dubai shipping handoff or sending a proposed call time to a UK client.
About Mawlamyine Time Zone
Mawlamyine uses the IANA time zone Asia/Yangon, which is the standard time zone for Myanmar. The city operates on Myanmar Time (MMT), UTC+6:30, a half-hour offset that is less common globally than full-hour offsets such as UTC+6 or UTC+7. This means Mawlamyine is 6 hours 30 minutes ahead of Coordinated Universal Time all year.
Mawlamyine does not observe daylight saving time, and Myanmar as a whole stays on the same offset throughout the year. There are no seasonal clock changes in March, April, October, or November, so meeting planning is simpler on the Myanmar side than in countries such as the United States, United Kingdom, or Australia, where DST can shift the time difference by one hour depending on the season.
Geographically, Mawlamyine is the capital of Mon State in southeastern Myanmar, near the Gulf of Martaban and relatively close to the Thai border compared with central Myanmar cities. Its time zone sits 30 minutes behind Thailand (UTC+7) and 1 hour 30 minutes behind Singapore (UTC+8), while being 1 hour ahead of Bangladesh (UTC+6) and 30 minutes ahead of India (UTC+5:30). That positioning matters for regional trade, overland travel planning, and coordinating work with neighboring South and Southeast Asian markets.
Mawlamyine City Details
Mawlamyine is one of Myanmar’s major urban centers, with a population of 438,861. It is located at 16.49051° N, 97.62825° E, placing it in southeastern Myanmar along an important corridor between inland Myanmar and coastal trade routes.
For business and travel purposes, the local currency is the Myanmar kyat (MMK), which is used for hotel payments, transport, food, and day-to-day transactions in the city. The country dialing code is +95, so international callers reaching Mawlamyine numbers from abroad need to use Myanmar’s country code before the local number.
These details are useful when combining time planning with practical logistics. If you are scheduling a call, arranging a hotel pickup, confirming a shipment, or contacting a local office in Mon State, knowing the city’s exact location, local currency, and phone code helps avoid confusion across borders.

Frequently Asked Questions
What time zone is Mawlamyine in?
Mawlamyine is in the Asia/Yangon time zone, which is the official IANA time zone used for Myanmar. The local standard time is Myanmar Time (MMT), and it runs at UTC+6:30 throughout the year.
Does Mawlamyine observe daylight saving time?
No, Mawlamyine does not observe daylight saving time. The city stays on UTC+6:30 all year, so there are no clock changes in spring or autumn, unlike cities in the US, UK, or Australia.
What is the time difference between Mawlamyine and New York?
The time difference depends on whether New York is on standard time or daylight time. Mawlamyine is 13 hours 30 minutes ahead of New York during EST and 10 hours 30 minutes ahead during EDT, so a morning in Myanmar usually corresponds to the previous evening in New York.
What is the best time to call Mawlamyine from the US or UK?
From the UK, the most practical overlap is usually early UK morning to late morning in Mawlamyine, especially during British Summer Time when the gap is 5 hours 30 minutes. From the US East Coast, the best option is often evening in New York and early morning in Mawlamyine the next day, because normal office hours do not overlap well due to the large time difference.
What is the UTC offset for Mawlamyine?
Mawlamyine uses a fixed UTC offset of UTC+6:30. This half-hour offset is unusual compared with many countries that use whole-hour offsets, so it is worth double-checking when scheduling international meetings or flights.
What currency does Mawlamyine use?
Mawlamyine uses the Myanmar kyat, abbreviated as MMK. If you are traveling, paying local vendors, or budgeting for transport and accommodation, prices in Mawlamyine are typically quoted in kyat rather than in US dollars or Thai baht.
Is Mawlamyine the same time as Yangon?
Yes, Mawlamyine and Yangon use the same time zone: Asia/Yangon. There is no local variation within Myanmar for these cities, so if it is 3:00 PM in Yangon, it is also 3:00 PM in Mawlamyine.
Why is Myanmar time UTC+6:30 instead of a full hour?
Myanmar uses a half-hour offset as part of its national standard time system, which is officially set at UTC+6:30. For users comparing schedules across Asia, this matters because Mawlamyine does not line up exactly with nearby countries such as Thailand (UTC+7) or India (UTC+5:30), creating 30-minute or 1-hour differences that can easily be missed.
