South of 22 degrees North latitude, the country is more than 800 km away in the Indian Ocean as the peninsula.

The east-west time difference is around 2 o'clock.
The earth runs [rotation and revolution] around its axis in 360 degrees through 360 degrees. Thus, the distance of 1 degree longitude will give a difference of 4 minutes.
Therefore Western-local time difference between most point and east-point is 30x4 = 120 minutes or 2 hours.
