Chicago to Ho Chi Minh City: Time Difference & Best Time to Meet

Chicago and Ho Chi Minh City are 12 hours apart, and that gap is wide enough that their normal 9-to-5 workdays never quite touch. If you meet regularly, fix one off-hours slot and rotate it between Chicago and Ho Chi Minh City so the burden doesn't fall on one team. These times hold for most of the year, but Chicago's daylight saving (which Ho Chi Minh City doesn't use) shifts them by an hour twice annually.
