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: Rīga uses the EUR (€) and Yangon uses the MMK (Ks). Language shifts too — Latvian in Rīga, 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 Rīga and Yangon?
Rīga is 3.5 hours ahead of Yangon. Rīga runs on GMT+3 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?
There are 5 hours where both cities are inside a 09:00–17:00 workday. Aim for the middle of that window so neither side is starting or closing out.
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 Rīga from Yangon?
About 7,361 km as the crow flies (great-circle distance). A non-stop commercial flight cruises that in roughly 9h 10m, not counting airport time, winds, or routing around restricted airspace.

What currency do Rīga and Yangon use?
