Ben Thanh Market

Scuse me SiiIIir, what you looking fooor? Look here, watch? Belt? – buy tshirt siiIIiir?

When entering the market it is an attack, 3-4-5 people are on you at once. Its like wild animals smelling blood, its funny to start, but gets a bit much after a while. Its impossible to just walk around and look at the hundreds of stalls inside this huge building.

Everything here is negotiable, except for the outer ring of shops that have fixed prives. 99% are fakes, all the known brands. A Superdry backpack is for sale for 1.400.000 VNd, after the haggle dance you will get it for 600.000VND, thats the usual – just under half of asking price, sometimes a bit lower – at least if you opt for two of the same items.

They vave absolutley everything, lots of tshirts, bags and shoes.

Its darily good ventilated, so not to bad walking around. Tons of fans and a nice breeze going on all the time 🙂
