Three numbers. The ones that decide the meeting.
When the world meets at work.
Read the day in both zones.
Crossing the border. Money, language, plugs.
Money changes hands at the border: Bogotá uses the COP ($) and Yangon uses the MMK (Ks). Language shifts too — Spanish in Bogotá, Burmese in Yangon. Cars drive on the right in both, so rentals feel familiar.

Quick answers. Before you book the call.
What's the time difference between Bogotá and Yangon?
Bogotá is 11.5 hours ahead of Yangon. Bogotá runs on GMT-5 and Yangon on GMT+6:30. The gap can shift by an hour when either side enters or leaves daylight saving — the live clocks above always reflect the current offset.
When's the best time to schedule a meeting?
Standard 09:00–17:00 workdays don't intersect. Most teams compromise with one side meeting early (before 09:00) or late (after 17:00).
Does daylight saving time change the difference?
Yes, if either city observes DST. When one side shifts and the other doesn't, the gap changes by one hour. The DST badges under each clock show whether each zone is currently shifted and when the next transition lands.
How far is Bogotá from Yangon?
About 17,390 km as the crow flies (great-circle distance). A non-stop commercial flight cruises that in roughly 20h 58m, not counting airport time, winds, or routing around restricted airspace.
