Vietnam operates on Indochina Time (ICT), which is 7 hours ahead of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC+7). The entire country follows a single timezone and does not observe daylight saving time.
Major cities including Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), Da Nang, Hai Phong, and Can Tho all follow ICT. Vietnam shares its timezone with Thailand, Cambodia, and Laos.
Vietnam stretches 1,650 km from north to south but uses a single timezone. Ho Chi Minh City is known for its chaotic yet efficient traffic—over 8 million motorbikes navigate the streets daily. Vietnam is the world's second-largest coffee exporter after Brazil, and Vietnamese iced coffee (ca phe sua da) is famous worldwide.
