🇻🇳| Meet My Local Guide in Saigon, District 1 🤩 at Ben Thanh Market

Join this tour and explore Ben Thanh Market together with our new Vietnamese friend. Ben Thanh Market, an iconic landmark in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, is a bustling hub of commerce and culture. Established in the 17th century, this vibrant marketplace offers a kaleidoscope of sights, sounds, and flavors. Navigating through its maze of stalls, visitors encounter a rich tapestry of Vietnamese craftsmanship, from traditional silk ao dai to handcrafted lacquerware. The market is a sensory feast with the aroma of street food wafting through the air, inviting exploration of local delicacies. Bargaining is an art here, as enthusiastic vendors showcase a myriad of goods, ensuring a dynamic and unforgettable shopping experience in the heart of Saigon.

Great idea having the lovely guide with you Chai. She was brilliant. A top video full of interesting information. What an awesome market. All that food for USD5.00 to you and I ridiculously inexpensive. Well done with this video champ. Loved it. 🤩

[@Chai_Travel]

Glad you enjoyed it! I feel super fortunate to have Jena on this video. It's always great to have a local to guide us 🤩 she was the perfect add on this show :D Thanks again Steven. Have a wonderful night 🙏

Saigon is so modern and full of lovely things Welcome to our city. Hope that you'll be back one day. You're always welcome here🥰🥰🥰 Thanks for an amazing vlog🥰🥰🥰

Thank you haha! Maybe she will join me again some time 😉 HCMC is growing on me❤️So much to explore in Saigon 😍

Thanks guys 😃

Beautiful Vietnamese girl❤❤

Je bent (te) lang in Thailand haha. Ik heb 3 jaar in TH gewerkt en 4 jaar VN. zeker meer direct, maar het maakt het veel makkelijker te communiceren (vooral in werk). Met Thailand customer service voel je je als God, maar ze zijn niet minder vriendelijk hier. Zoals je zegt een andere stijl. Ga zeker eens naar district 2 of landmark 81 om het nieuwe deel van de stad te zien (bv the deck, Saigon outcast, Thu Thiem, of district 7). Leuk dat je terug bent!

[@Chai_Travel]

Haha! Nooit TE lang :P maar het is fijn om het af te wisselen met andere landen. Precies wat je zegt! Ik snap het helemaal. Zeker als Nederlander is het lastig om aan te passen in Thailand. I'm glad to be back :D

[@MrUled]

Geniet Er van! Top!

It was another beautiful day in Saigon city

Bro you have to try the salted coffee and salty Matcha at Linh café as well as the pastries at ivory. You have to come back. The egg coffee was created at the hotel in Hanoi you can visit even the bunker there

[@Chai_Travel]

I live a good salted coffee 😍

[@TheWanderingKuya]

I have been going through your catalog and try to watch a video I have not seen yet. Love the content and love the journey. Safe travels from Palawan Philippines.

[@Chai_Travel]

That’s so nice to hear 🫶🏼😊 thanks for making my day 🥰

[@kolkattaindia]

Your local guide is very cute! She did a good job showing you around. Did you pay her or was it a volunteer. Awesome video. 🙏👍👏💯

[@Chai_Travel]

Thanks, she's not a tourguide :) maybe one day she will but she's still studying

[@marisaphoenix1893]

Sugarcane juice is actually very healthy. It’s the processing of sugar to the granulated kind that makes in unhealthy.

[@Chai_Travel]

Aaah gotcha :) still it’s very sweet though. I guess a glass of sugarcane juice once in a while is nice to have 🙂 thanks for watching

[@4985muhammadali]

Chai The place you went with Jena to eat is look like mostly for foreign tourists or tourist market. I'm addicted to indian food no matter where i am. Vietnam 🇻🇳 is very well developing country after thailand 🇹🇭 any plans to visit this time chai to Da Nang or Hoi An, the traditional Vietnamese cap you bought my sister already asked me many times i already told her if i visit before her to Vietnam 🇻🇳 i will get it for her and for myself also.. French architecture cafe you visit was beautiful same lookalike you can see in Pondicherry India.. Egg coffee is pretty weird 😕 till then stay safe stay champ 🏆 💕❤️😊✌️👍 i miss noona by the way my sister was asking for her where is she i told her chai visit alone this time maybe next time. ✌️

[@Chai_Travel]

Nice one mate. Unfortunately I'm only visiting HCMC this time but Da Nang is probably my second favourite place in vietnam. Unfortunately Noona couldn’t make it this time! I miss her but we will see each other soon again 🥰 I told Noona about this comment and she says hi, also to your sister :D Cheers!

[@4985muhammadali]

[@RetiredGlobalLife]

Nice show, Chai,, and great idea to have a beautiful, charming and completely fluent guide with you. Are you tired of seeing so many comments just about how beautiful Jenna is? I'm sure if my GF Joy was watching with me at the moment she'd say "Oh, that Chai is so handsome." So no worries, a compliment for you too. 555. Take care.

[@Chai_Travel]

Hahaha that’s nice of you 😁 haha not tiring at all! Just any compliment is just nice to hear and it’s great to know you’re watching again 😉 thanks for making me smile 🙏

What is Vietnam’s version of the Thai Friendly app?

[@vanessamaelavalle8926]

hi may i know how you book your local guide in ho chi minh?

[@Chai_Travel]

The best way is ask your hotel or any travel agent while you’re in Saigon. Unfortunately the lovely young lady is not bookable for any guidance 🙏

[@paditya6733]

Can someone suggest if I should go to central market or any other local shops to buy shoes at an affordable price

[@Chai_Travel]

For shoes I’d go to a shopping mall like Saigon Center :) just to insure the quality

[@TheBureauAsia]

1:16 Jenna isn't being totally honest with you at this point, she didn't really give you the real reason lol 😅

[@Chai_Travel]

Haha, I should have asked a bit more about that topic ;) But I think we all know what the reasons are, so it's fine 🤓

Especially the ladies, they are afraid of the skin get tanned. 😂

She’s not taking any clients at the moment

[@philipjanek3864]

How much to hire jena as a 4 hour guide? Ong gia map in district 7 wanting to buy some stuff to take back to the Chicago area April 19th ok i only need someone to help me bargain in district 1 okay

[@Chai_Travel]

Ey mate, sorry. She’s not to book at this moment 🙏 who knows in the future. Have the best time Philip

[@philipjanek3864]

@@Chai_Travel I have a friend in the city but he's always working 😊

[@Chai_Travel]

Gotcha. If you see a lot of tourists at the market you are going you can bargain down to 25-50% off the price they ask in the first place. So you know :) remember to keep on smiling. Have a great time mate

[@asmuchican490]

not sure who is the guide

[@Chai_Travel]

🤣

[@ThinkAndSaySomethingStupid]

I am a 25 year-old Vietnamese. I confirm I have never been in Ben Thanh market. Besides, bargain is a weird thing for me, why should I bargain when I can find another shop with a more reasonable price ?

Bạn có thể coi đó là một thú vui khi đi chợ. Một chiếc quần short với giá nhập vào khoảng 4.000vnd, cộng thêm chi phí vận chuyển, thuê gian hàng... và nó được bán với giá 80.000d. Tất nhiên rồi, nếu bạn trả giá 50.000 và người ta đồng ý bán cho bạn, tức là người ta vẫn có lãi. Vấn đề chỉ là lãi bao nhiêu.
