Vientiane is the capital of Laos, with a population of about 840,940. It uses the Indochina Time time zone (IANA identifier Asia/Vientiane).

Vientiane does not observe daylight saving time, so the clock stays on UTC+7 all year round. The time difference with places that do change their clocks — such as most of Europe and North America — therefore shifts by one hour twice a year.

Other cities on the same clock include Ho Chi Minh City, Jakarta, Hanoi, Bangkok, Surabaya, Novosibirsk.

Because Vientiane lies at 17.97° N, 102.60° E, the length of the day changes only slightly through the year: around the June solstice there are about 13 h 12 min of daylight, and around the December solstice about 11 h 03 min.
