[@tuyetmei]

Wow!

[@PhinexTV]

Yayyy Subscribe for more! I will be visiting more parts of Vietnam, Thailand and then South Korea!

[@josephlutz6673]

Went there alot loved it

[@PhinexTV]

Always a joy. I been there few times but still go with different ppl for different experiences

[@f1pro910]

I stared with same 1/3rd bargain but store keeper looked at me like he is going to kill me. 😂

[@PhinexTV]

I’ve been there buddy. I’ve been there. And will be back for more. LOL

[@leonardburns4589]

Love those 2 d backpacks. Never seen them before cool. That's what I like to see products that are new, different to me. Thanks from Calgary Canada

[@PhinexTV]

Yeaaaaa! Those 2D one's were one of a kind. I couldn't find any other in Korea besides the arcade basement of the hotel i was staying in. Definitely a buy.

[@keienn7259]

Recently went to Saigon and Ben Thanh was a stressful but also memorable experience. Surprisingly, I was the most active haggler in our group even though I have a reputation of being really bad at it. I only did 50% haggle though. But most of the time, I would only go up slightly or be really stubborn with the 50% of OG price. Anyway, got some good deals and managed to help my friends drop prices down as well 😜

[@PhinexTV]

@@keienn7259 it’s always an experience with different people. Honestly it’s a nice culture shock for me. Most people find it overwhelming but I understand what people are saying so maybe that’s why it’s not as overwhelming. Anywho the products are decent and it’s always fun

[@responsiblecitizen8967]

350 is a good deal...300 to 320 would hv been a much more smarter deal..always keep the local price and some adjustment for the quality has to be the benchmark...pl enjoy bargaining without any hesitation

[@katkat1194]

love it . your bargain skill!

[@PhinexTV]

Believe it or not, this was basically my first video on my channel for Vietnam. So, I was prettty shy on camera because i am doing it on the spot. It's not like it's rehearsed or anything, it was on the fly and I interacted with all the vendors as a I see basis. Haha. I hope you enjoyed it!

[@Uscitizeninlaos]

nice sharing i'm going to check out her store, thanks for the tips.

[@PhinexTV]

The stores there are great! Hope they give you a good price :)

Lots of nice things do they have a wholesale sight

[@PhinexTV]

I feel like they do. But you’re going to have to ask about that info I am not sure.

[@malbucks1968]

Stalls on the main lanes expensive, go down the smaller lanes cheaper

[@PhinexTV]

Noted! Will go to the smaller lanes this December 🙏🏼😁😁😁

[@ararattran4671]

Hi I’m also going there next week how much is the price for a suitcase?

[@PhinexTV]

Suitcases on average I got quoted first was about $100-150 Canadian which I wouldn’t get there. Try to bargain it down to something you like, I’ve seen suitcases go for $50-70cad. Don’t expect the prices to be like $10-15-20 it won’t be like that. Not for suitcases.

[@ararattran4671]

Hi greeting from Vietnam I was looking for some lv vali today and everyone wanted around 5-7m dong do you recommend any store which sells cheaper?

[@PhinexTV]

Go to the vendors that’s near the entrances/ border around the entrances that usually don’t get too crowded, and go near end of day sales when sales quota is already reached. Don’t go early morning.

[@ararattran4671]

@@PhinexTV alright thanks sadly I didn’t spit any iced out watches or jewellery or electronics I will check today again

[@ararattran4671]

Thanks for the video I’m looking for puffer jackets or normal jackets and brand jewellery also fragrance did you spot some there?

[@PhinexTV]

I personally went back in 2016 and they HAD puffer jackets / north face and fake Columbia jackets . However 2023 (this video) I could not find any this year. It seems like covid and inflation got those products off the market is my suspicion. I couldn’t find them when I was there. I’m going back to Vietnam this December. I’ll see if things have changed. :)

[@ararattran4671]

@@PhinexTV oh that’s sad sorry for the questions it you didn’t see any kind of perfume either or iced out watches?

[@PhinexTV]

Oh yeah, there are iced out watches hehe. Rolex's for days. Are you subbed to me? I'll be putting down more things soon! @@ararattran4671

[@ararattran4671]

Subbed just now I hope the iced out ones run cheap in china is the price 600-2000$

[@ararattran4671]

Ok sorry but last question sorry I’m very nervous did you see Louis Vuitton jewlery boxes like theese big boxes to put jewlery in because they cost over 120$ in China 😅😮

[@PhinexTV]

I don’t recall seeing a LV jewelry box. But there are jewelry boxes. Also check the vendors against the walls. They don’t have much customers going there because many people usually go into the middle of the market because it’s a tourist thing to do- to go into the center. If you go along the sides of the market, you’ll often see different things and possibly better bargains because the side stalls and vendors don’t get much love n attention as the centre stalls.

[@ararattran4671]

@@PhinexTV oh alright thanks I thought the Center is the part with replicas and the others are like no brand stuff and food

[@ararattran4671]

Sorry for the questions but this is my last one did you see things like AirPods and AirPod may and electronics?

[@PhinexTV]

There is! BUT - I don’t know the quality. Be sure to check the quality before u buy it. I personally have NOT bought electronics from there before. It’s not authentic apple. So. Be careful with that. Don’t worry about the questions. That’s why we here for :)

Hello bạn ! Không hiểu nhưng cái túi bạn mua có chất lượng bằng ở bên nước ngoài hàng hiệu không ?

[@PhinexTV]

Chất lượng không giống nhau, chỉ là hình thức tổng thể. Chất lượng và mẫu mã đều khác nhau. Kích thước khác với Mỹ. Nhưng Bến Thành vẫn có chất lượng tốt. Tôi mua nhiều túi vì tôi thích mua hàng từ Việt Nam.

[@PhinexTV]

nó là giả nhưng nó quá đủ tốt đối với tôi. 20 USD so với 200 USD. Tôi cũng thích luyện nói tiếng Việt kiều với người dân địa phương.

What currency is CAD? Beautiful sales girl @ 6:00

[@PhinexTV]

CAD is Canadian. :) similar to usd. I’m Canadian so I use CAD as a reference. I’ll start to try to incorporate more usd references in my upcoming videos :)

[@sbrave]

@@PhinexTVAll good. I thought Canadian, but wanted to make sure : ) Had any luck with watches? Rolex etc?

[@PhinexTV]

I didn't buy a rolex, i ended up buying a few LV wallet clips, not a full sized wallet but its the wallet clips with the clip in the middle. As well as north face bags =D @@sbrave

[@tonystich2818]

Canadian

[@ararattran4671]

Do you have any price idea for the iced out watches because I was exited for 2 years for them 😂😅

[@PhinexTV]

When I was last there, charged $100 Canadian but can haggle down to $70 Canadian. For fake Rolex. I didn’t end up buying it though, there’s many jewelry stores BUT that’s the price I got quoted before for those Rolex’s. so around there and cheaper for G shocks etc.

Thanks buddy that means a lot! I have much more content AND im going back to Vietnam and exploring other markets in December. But right now i have more videos coming out about Thailand and Korea before i film more Vietnam. Ben Thanh isn't the only market. Once i find out which good ones are in Hanoi and Da Nang, i'll film that as well :) @@ararattran4671

[@PhinexTV]

Yes around there. The prices can flutuate, which is why you might have to take some time to bargain. Walk away and come back, you might have to repeat the process. oh a big tip is.... go shop near the end of the day when they are about to close. Better deals then. :) @@ararattran4671

[@fjeisdivoojlk]
