Spent the weekend shopping in Ho Chi Minh City!

[@qwenqwen1476]

So which is the favorite knock off….Saigon square, Russian market, Saigon central, or which?

[@abbyandlogantravel]

Ohh good question! I would have to say Central Market is my favorite because you can shop knockoffs, local brands, and get a snack!

[@malbucks1968]

Saigon Square, very pushy with price. Ben Tah not bad, Central really good

[@mail4tung]

The Russina market is absolutely knock off.

[@Andyxxx2006]

HCM is such a vibrant city, luv it.... Great video as always. 🥰😘

[@abbyandlogantravel]

It really is! It has so much to offer! And thank you so much!!!🥰

[@tompham637]

Vietnam 🇻🇳 exports Nike, Adidas, North Face merchandises. They were sent to local market because these items have a minor error, therefore, they are not really fake. Thank you for sharing this interesting video. Enjoy and stay safe.

[@abbyandlogantravel]

Whoa that is amazing and make so much sense! We will defiantly have to go back and do better shopping with that in mind! Thank you for educating us! 🤗

In Vietnam, when you buy goods at super markets or shopping centers, you do not bargain, but when you buying at local market, you should bargain, especially tourists.

[@abbyandlogantravel]

I am so bad at bargaining!!🫣

[@thanhvungoc7883]

Vietnam is a beautiful country, the people are friendly and do not discriminate. Now life has changed a lot, everything is lacking, the only thing missing is money.. 😂😊🎉❤

[@abbyandlogantravel]

You are so right everything about Vietnam is beautiful! But yes I agree, hope we can help stimulate more tourism to bring in more money for the locals!🫶

[@benrunyan9486]

Did you explore the stores outside of Ben Tah building? It is my understanding the outside stores have reasonable posted prices. Seeking North Face Gore-Tex or Arc'teryx jacket. Landing in Ho Chi Minh 8/13 for three days then Da Nang for three days before extended time in Taipei.

[@abbyandlogantravel]

I didn't see any shop directly outside of Ben Thanh market but we did go to other markets and saw better pricing like at Central Market.

[@macywong1966]

Some parts of Ben Thanh market is actually non negotiable because they ran by the government (you can usually spot these workers who wear uniform) . I usually go to them first to sux out the price and know the limits of how much to bargain when I head inside the smaller vendors 😉

I agree with you about Ben Thanh market. It’s such a tourist trap with aggressive vendors. I do not like it there.

[@abbyandlogantravel]

We pleasantly surprised and how nice and non pushy the vendors at Saigon Square and Central Market were. You can take your time and look for what you actually want!

[@mail4tung]

Every tourist place on earth is expensive there is no doubt about it.

[@anniesshenanigans3815]

I watched a video about comparing Ho Chi Minh City to Bangkok and it was Rated better because of the ease and cost of public transportation.. what do you think?

[@abbyandlogantravel]

First, thank you so much for watching. And BKK definitely has better public transportation but in HCMC it is super easy and affordable to get around by Grab.

[@May-ob1ev]

Your pants you wore when you were in Saigon Center are really nice. Can you tell me where you buy them? Thanks in advance.

Thank you so much and of course! I got them at Oysho.

[@sithralas2010]

hi, thanks for this video. just wondering what your conclusion is on the MLB store? those are officially licensed MLB flagship stores, no fakes there, just a policy against filming. you were in an official mall, everything there is original, no fakes, there are other markets for fakes ;-) keep up the good work this video was excellent.

[@abbyandlogantravel]

Oh just the fact that they don't want us showing what they have. But good point on the policy of no filming. We should start asking stores before hand.

[@eloygonzalez4015]

What are the clothing sizes for men i use 3x in the States Would i be able to find clothes?

[@abbyandlogantravel]

Unfortunately I don’t think so. It was hard for me and Logan to find sizes to fit us.

​@abbyandlogantravel that was my question. I'm similar size to you and 5'8. I'm heading to Vietnam this weekend & was planning on bringing little clothes with me.

Hello!!🤗 Thank you for commenting!

[@PhanDucAnh]

3:12 Not to judge, but seeing leftover food makes me a little uncomfortable. The first is to look unclean, the second is to waste food (for Vietnamese culture, wasting food is a sin). I just suggest that when eating in Vietnam, you should order just enough to eat so you don't have to waste it.

[@abbyandlogantravel]

Completely understand! We try to clean our plates as much as possible, this restaurant does give big portions. And we left the chunky hard to eat veggies. 🥴

[@ginaho5958]

Don't shop at Bến Thành because trader is dishonest, there prices are very high and once you enter the store it difficult to get out.

[@abbyandlogantravel]

Completely agree!! There are some super underrated markets that I think are better than Ban Thanh!
