Chiang Mai×Montevideo
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: Chiang Mai uses the THB (฿) and Montevideo uses the UYU ($). Language shifts too — Thai in Chiang Mai, Spanish in Montevideo. Be careful behind the wheel: Chiang Mai drives on the left, Montevideo on the right.

Quick answers. Before you book the call.
What's the time difference between Chiang Mai and Montevideo?
Chiang Mai is 10 hours behind Montevideo. Chiang Mai runs on GMT+7 and Montevideo on GMT-3. 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.
