Indochina Time — UTC+7
Hanoi time zone at a glance
The key facts for Hanoi, Vietnam, and how its clock relates to UTC.
About time in Hanoi
Hanoi observes Indochina Time, abbreviated ICT, at a constant UTC+7 offset with no daylight saving changes. All of Vietnam uses this single zone, so the capital in the north and Ho Chi Minh City in the south always share the same clock. In the IANA database the zone is identified as Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh, even though it covers the entire country including Hanoi. Indochina Time is shared with neighbors such as Thailand, Cambodia, and Laos, making cross-border scheduling across mainland Southeast Asia simple and consistent.
Hanoi does not observe daylight saving time, so it keeps a fixed offset of UTC+7 (no DST) every day of the year. The live clock above reads Hanoi's local time directly from the IANA time zone database in your browser, so it stays accurate through daylight-saving transitions without any manual adjustment.

Why is Hanoi listed under Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh?
Vietnam uses one nationwide time zone, and the IANA database names it Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh, so Hanoi shares that identifier despite being the capital.
Is Hanoi the same time as Bangkok?
Yes. Hanoi and Bangkok both use Indochina Time at UTC+7, so their clocks read the same throughout the year.
