Change your watch when you arrive in Myanmar

myanmar, pagodas, kingdom, pagan, buddhism, temples, burmese, burma, thanaka, magic

Travelers know the confusion when arriving in a country that’s in a different time zone. You tend to either gain or lose a few hours. Myanmar is a little different. Rather than adjusting their clock to correspond with the gain or loss of a whole hour, like most countries, they do it with 30-minute intervals. The official time zone is GMT +6.30. Very few countries in the world do it in this way making Myanmar somewhat unique.
