What ICT and HST Actually Are

ICT — Indochina Time

Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, Phnom Penh, Vientiane. Standing at UTC+7:00 as written, and the region does not change its clocks, so that offset holds all year.

Indochina Time is shared across four countries, which makes South-East Asian scheduling unusually simple compared with Europe or the Americas.

HST — Hawaii Standard Time

Honolulu and the rest of Hawaii. Standing at UTC-10:00 as written, and the region does not change its clocks, so that offset holds all year. Hawaii does not observe daylight saving, so this offset holds all year.

Hawaii dropped daylight saving in 1967 and never resumed it. Being close to the equator, its daylight barely varies across the year, so there is little to gain.

What This Means in Practice

The date changes mid-working-day

For 8 of the eight hours in a normal ICT working day, the equivalent HST time falls on a different calendar date. Anything scheduled in that stretch needs the date checked as well as the time, or a Tuesday call quietly becomes a Wednesday one at the other end.

A gap you can rely on

Neither region changes its clocks, so this difference holds every day of the year. A recurring meeting booked once stays correct — worth knowing, because most cross-border pairs cannot say that.

Nearly opposite sides of the clock

At 17 hours apart, one side's morning is the other side's night. Handing work over at the end of a shift usually beats trying to get both parties in the same call.
