UTC+7+12 h vs New York (you)Asia/Bangkok
No clock changes: Vietnam stays on UTC+7 all year.
Time zone in Vietnam
Vietnam uses a single time zone: UTC+7 all year. Every clock in the country shows the same time.
Hanoi lies at 105.8° east, where mean solar time is UTC+7:03 (four minutes per degree of longitude). That is within 3 min of its clock time, so the sun is highest close to noon.
Daylight saving time in Vietnam
No. Vietnam stays on UTC+7 all year, and the tz database records no daylight saving time here at any point.
That is typical near the equator: day length barely changes through the year, so moving the clocks would gain almost nothing.
Clock history of Vietnam
The record begins with local mean time (clocks set by the sun, UTC+6:42 in Bangkok), which ended on December 31, 1879, when BMT (UTC+6:42) replaced it. The record shows no daylight saving time at any point. The table summarises the clocks of Vietnam year by year since 1970, from the tzdata entry Asia/Bangkok.
