What ICT and MST 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.
MST — Mountain Standard Time
Denver, Salt Lake City, Calgary — and Phoenix year-round. Standing at UTC-7:00 as written, and the region does change its clocks, so its live offset moves by an hour twice a year. The next change is on Sunday, November 1, 2026, to MST. Arizona stays on MST all year, so Phoenix and Denver are an hour apart for eight months and identical for four.
Arizona has stayed on MST year-round since 1968 — the Navajo Nation within it does observe daylight saving, making the state a patchwork.
What This Means in Practice
The date changes mid-working-day
For 4 of the eight hours in a normal ICT working day, the equivalent MST 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.
This gap is not fixed
MST changes its clocks and ICT does not, so the difference between them moves by an hour twice a year. A recurring meeting set now will drift for one side from Sunday, November 1, 2026 unless someone resets it.
Nearly opposite sides of the clock
At 13 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the time difference between ICT and MST?
