Ho Chi Minh City and Los Angeles Time Difference

Best time for family calls

Scheduling a family call between Ho Chi Minh City and Los Angeles takes a little planning. Ho Chi Minh City is 14 hours ahead of Los Angeles, which means there's no window that feels comfortable for everyone at the same time. The most manageable option is early evening in Ho Chi Minh City — around 7 pm — which puts Los Angeles at 5 am. Someone will need to stretch a little, but at least no one's setting a middle-of-the-night alarm. Weekends tend to give the most flexibility if you can agree on a time in advance.
