Clock changes in Vietnam.
Vietnam does not change its clocks for summer, so the time difference with countries that do shifts twice a year.
Countries in Europe and North America move their clocks in spring and autumn. Their difference from Ho Chi Minh therefore changes by an hour twice a year, while the clock in Ho Chi Minh stays where it is.
Countries on the same time as Ho Chi Minh.
These countries keep the same standard offset from Coordinated Universal Time, UTC+7, so their clocks read the same for most of the year. See every country on the countries page.
