How many hours is ICT ahead of PST?

ICT is currently +14h relative to PST, using America/Los_Angeles and Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh as the live reference zones on this page.

What is the best workday overlap between PST and ICT?

There is no strict 9-to-5 overlap right now, so one side usually needs an early start or late finish for live meetings.

Which cities commonly use PST and ICT?

PST commonly covers cities such as Los Angeles, Tijuana, San Diego, and Mexicali, while ICT commonly covers cities such as Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, Bangkok, and Haiphong.

Should I use PST/ICT or exact IANA zones?

Use the abbreviations for a quick read, but use exact IANA zones such as America/Los_Angeles and Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh when you need something precise in software, travel plans, or long-range scheduling.

PST → ICTGap: +14hNo 9-5 overlap

PST to ICT currently uses Pitcairn Time in America/Los_Angeles and Indochina Time in Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh as the live reference pair, with a +14h live gap. PST to ICT matters whenever Los Angeles and Ho Chi Minh City need to coordinate across a +14h gap. The PST side covers United States and Mexico, while ICT covers Vietnam and Thailand — that country mix is the practical reason this conversion shows up in calendars rather than the abstract offset math.

Pair context

PST (Los Angeles, -07:00) to ICT (Ho Chi Minh City, +07:00) is currently a +14h conversion. Live coverage on the PST side is anchored by Los Angeles, Tijuana, San Diego, and Mexicali; the ICT side draws from Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, Bangkok, and Haiphong.

PST to ICT matters whenever Los Angeles and Ho Chi Minh City need to coordinate across a +14h gap. The PST side covers United States and Mexico, while ICT covers Vietnam and Thailand — that country mix is the practical reason this conversion shows up in calendars rather than the abstract offset math.

PST is grounded here by United States, Mexico, and Canada. ICT means mainland Southeast Asia through Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos; watch Songkran, Tet, and Khmer New Year. The curated side is where most same-offset duplication risk is removed, because it names the civil calendar and operating context users actually mean.

This pair is trans-Pacific, with one side in the Americas and the other in Asia or Oceania. The +14h gap is large enough that morning on one side reliably overlaps evening on the other, which is why this conversion mostly serves global supply chains, gaming launch schedules, and follow-the-sun engineering.

PST follows seasonal clock changes through America/Los_Angeles, while ICT stays on a fixed offset year-round. That asymmetry is the real differentiator on this page: the gap widens or narrows by an hour twice a year, so calendar invites scheduled in one season often look wrong in the other.

PST and ICT sit exactly 14h apart, which leaves no shared 9-to-5 block. Live meetings have to bend one side's day, so most teams settle for one of two narrow windows: very early on the late side, or very late on the early side. That makes async messages, recorded standups, and clear handoff notes more valuable than calendar invites.

Calendar and scheduling context

Same-offset labels can share the same hour while still landing in different countries, calendars, cities, and workday windows. These notes show the practical context behind this conversion.

Exact pair identity

PST to ICT is pinned to America/Los_Angeles -> Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh, with the shorthand labels shown as context. The city anchors are Los Angeles, Tijuana, San Diego, Mexicali on the PST side and Ho Chi Minh City, Bangkok, Phnom Penh, Cần Thơ on the ICT side, with +14h between the live reference zones.

Civil calendar differences

The 12 popular-hour answers include 2 same-day conversions, 10 next-day conversions, and 0 previous-day conversions. That distribution is what separates this page from a static offset chart.

Same-offset caution

Nearby labels sharing a current offset include PDT (From side), GMT-7 (From side), MST (From side), YT (From side), CXT (To side), DAVT (To side). They may match mathematically, but their country calendars, city anchors, and common search intent differ from this exact pair.

Pair fingerprint

Offset behavior, DST gap changes, local calendar evidence, and the day-shift pattern across the most common conversion hours.

Offset behavior class

PST/ICT is a long-haul handoff gap: America/Los_Angeles currently reads -07:00, Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh reads +07:00, and the live delta is +14h. This class decides whether the page behaves like a same-day planner or a handoff planner.

DST asymmetry check

America/Los_Angeles changes from -07:00 (PDT) to -08:00 (PST) on November 1, 2026 at about 1:00 AM.

Calendar evidence

No country holiday snapshot is attached to this exact pair yet, so the page leans on city anchors, IANA zones, offsets, and the live conversion table instead of pretending a local calendar exists.

Day-shift fingerprint

Across the 12 popular-hour answers, this pair has 2 same-day answers, 10 next-day answers, 0 previous-day answers. That mix is specific to the current America/Los_Angeles -> Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh relationship and helps users see whether dates must be written explicitly in invites, travel plans, and release schedules.

Same-offset and canonical audit

Same-offset converter clusters can look identical if the page only shows a numeric offset. This audit states whether the route should be indexed, which canonical peer it follows when consolidated, and what pair-specific evidence keeps the page useful.

Indexing posture

This pair remains indexable because the route has enough pair-specific context: America/Los_Angeles -> Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh, country anchors, city anchors, calendar notes, and day-shift examples.

Same-offset math check

PST and ICT are not currently a same-offset pair; the live delta is +14h. Same-offset neighbors are still listed because users often confuse nearby abbreviations.

PDT (From side, -07:00), GMT-7 (From side, -07:00), MST (From side, -07:00), YT (From side, -07:00), CXT (To side, +07:00), DAVT (To side, +07:00) The page keeps these labels visible so SGT/HKT/GST-style clusters do not blur into one generic offset page.

Canonical evidence

PST/ICT uses 2 same-day answers, 10 next-day answers, 0 previous-day answers; 0h strict workday overlap; source zones America/Los_Angeles and Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh; country anchors United States, Mexico, and Canada -> Vietnam, Thailand, and Cambodia.

Local intent behind each abbreviation

Common places, calendars, markets, languages, and operating contexts behindPST and ICT.

ICT

ICT local intent 1

ICT covers Indochina Time, commonly encountered for Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos. The practical context includes Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh City, Phnom Penh, Vientiane, tourism operations, manufacturing handoffs, regional support teams, and local holiday calendars such as Songkran, Tet, and national observances.

ICT

ICT local intent 2

A conversion into ICT should not be collapsed into every UTC+7 label. The region's workweek, travel patterns, border logistics, and public holidays differ from Indonesia's WIB clock even when both read the same hour.

Country calendar contrast

Same-offset conversions can still land in different public-holiday, language, currency, and city-anchor contexts. These rows use the country profile and holiday snapshots behind each side of the pair.

From side timezone narrative

PST is a North or South American civil-time label, currently 7h behind UTC at -07:00. The label covers 4 IANA zones across 4 countries, with Los Angeles as the busiest live reference. The busiest cities using PST in the current catalog are Los Angeles, Tijuana, San Diego, Mexicali, and San Jose. The lead live reference on this page is Los Angeles (America/Los_Angeles), currently at -07:00 (PDT). Those cities are what give PST its actual feel rather than the abstract offset. PST currently shows -07:00, but America/Los_Angeles observes seasonal clock changes — the next transition is around November 1, 2026. That means the offset on this page is a snapshot, not a permanent fact, so long-range scheduling should pin the underlying IANA zone instead of the abbreviation.

From side policy and precision notes

PST reads cleanly across the Americas in this dataset, but the same letters can mean different things elsewhere (notably CST, EST, and IST overlap with non-American labels). Pin the IANA zone when the audience is international. America/Los_Angeles has an upcoming offset change on November 1, 2026. After that point, PST on this page will read a different UTC offset until the next transition, so any saved timestamp should anchor to the IANA zone rather than the abbreviation. For precise work, the safest equivalent of PST is the exact IANA zone used by your city or system. America/Los_Angeles sits at -07:00, behind UTC, which means daily logs in this zone reach a new calendar date after UTC does — relevant for date-aligned reports and billing cutoffs.

From side nearby abbreviations

PST should not be blindly swapped with nearby labels. Adjacent references in the catalog: PDT (-07:00, Currently sits on the same UTC offset); GMT-7 (-07:00, Currently sits on the same UTC offset); MST (-07:00, Currently sits on the same UTC offset); YT (-07:00, Currently sits on the same UTC offset); AKDT (-08:00, Runs on a nearby UTC offset); AKST (-08:00, Runs on a nearby UTC offset).

From side answer profile

PST has 1 meaning record, offset range UTC-08:00 to UTC-07:00, labels Pitcairn Time, and 4 country footprints across 4 IANA zones.

To side timezone narrative

ICT is an Asian civil-time label, currently 7h ahead of UTC at +07:00. The lead reference is Ho Chi Minh City, and the wider grouping reaches 4 countries through 4 IANA zones. The busiest cities using ICT in the current catalog are Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, Bangkok, Haiphong, and Phnom Penh. The lead live reference on this page is Ho Chi Minh City (Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh), currently at +07:00 (GMT+7). Those cities are what give ICT its actual feel rather than the abstract offset. ICT has a local identity beyond its offset: mainland Southeast Asia through Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos. Calendar signals such as Songkran, Tet, Khmer New Year, and Pi Mai Lao and operational signals such as Bangkok tourism, Vietnam manufacturing, Cambodia and Laos government scheduling, and Mekong-region support handoffs are why this abbreviation should not be flattened into a same-offset neighbor. ICT is stable on Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh year-round, with no seasonal clock changes in the next year. That makes it a low-friction choice for recurring meetings and broadcast schedules — but software still prefers the IANA zone because governments can change civil-time rules independently of the short code.

To side policy and precision notes

ICT resolves cleanly here, but Asian labels often share letters with American or European ones — IST is shared between India and Israel, for instance. Pinning Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh avoids that whole class of confusion. ICT is fixed at UTC+07 in the current data, with the practical legal context split across four national calendars. Not the same as WIB: the offset matches western Indonesia, but the languages, holidays, currencies, and regional operating assumptions are different. Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh does not show an offset change in the next year, which makes ICT predictable for short-term scheduling. Predictable is not the same as permanent — civil-time rules still get changed by governments on relatively short notice. For precise work, the safest equivalent of ICT is the exact IANA zone used by your city or system. Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh sits at +07:00, ahead of UTC, which means daily logs in this zone reach a new calendar date before UTC does — a small detail that breaks date-based reporting if missed.

PST coverage on this page is led by Los Angeles, United States, Tijuana, Mexico, San Diego, United States, and Mexicali, Mexico, with 2 more in the live dataset. That mix is what makes PST feel anchored to West Coast and Pacific-edge American activity in practice rather than just an abbreviation on a chart.

ICT coverage is led by Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, Hanoi, Vietnam, Bangkok, Thailand, and Haiphong, Vietnam, with 2 more anchoring the wider label family. Combined with the PST side, this conversion ends up describing trans-Pacific outsourcing handoffs, gaming and entertainment release windows, and follow-the-sun engineering rotations. Local signals include Bangkok tourism, Vietnam manufacturing, and Cambodia and Laos government scheduling.

Operational notes

PST to ICT ranges from PST 9:00 AM (which lands at ICT 11:00 PM) through PST 9:00 PM (ICT 11:00 AM). Most of those slots fall on a different calendar day on the ICT side, which is why this direction always needs explicit dates in invites and ticket comments — the time alone is not enough.

ICT to PST ranges from ICT 9:00 AM (which lands at PST 7:00 PM) through ICT 9:00 PM (PST 7:00 AM). With no clean 9-to-5 overlap between ICT and PST, both ends of this range push outside standard hours — useful for recorded standups and async work, awkward for live calls.

Overlap window and DST radar

The live gap is +14h right now, based on America/Los_Angeles at -07:00 and Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh at +07:00. America/Los_Angeles changes offset on November 1, 2026, so the gap moves to +15h after that transition.

There is no strict 9 AM to 5 PM overlap right now, so this pair is better for handoffs, travel planning, or async coordination than for midday meetings.

America/Los_Angeles changes from -07:00 (PDT) to -08:00 (PST) on November 1, 2026 at about 1:00 AM.
