Good video, heading there next month for a wedding and will definitely check out a couple of these places. Would you by any chance have a suggestion on where to buy some Marino wool T-shirts and regular shirts? I know you can’t answer every question like that that comes your way but I just figured I’d give it a shot. No biggie if you can’t have a great day and I will be subscribing. Thank you.

Hi - thanks for watching and subscribing. You can try Saigon Square and the Russian Market.

Thank you for giving information to us. I came to Ho Chin Minh City 1 time earlier and Hanoi 2 times

[@traveleatvietnam]

Sounds like you really love to visit Vietnam!

[@umeshchandrasapam4707]

@traveleatvietnam Yes I love your country and its beautiful people and culture

[@kristyp6990]

Thank you for compiling your recos! We are going to visit Hanoi and HCM in a couple of months. Any chance of bargaining with the vendors at Saigon Square and Central Market, or are they mostly fixed price? :)

[@traveleatvietnam]

Hi - glad you found the video useful. Most places featured are NOT fixed price so bargaining is recommended! Happy shopping!

90% ?? No way.

Thanks for sharing! Cho em hỏi, Muốn mua áo dài thì đi đâu chị?

[@traveleatvietnam]

Hi - thanks for watching! Trong mấy chợ có bán áo dài. Chợ Bến Thành, Tan Định hoạc mấy tiệm thời trang. Nếu muốn đặt áo dài thì phải tới tiệm may hoạc google 'may áo dài' thì sẽ hiện lên mấy chổ để lựa chọn. Good luck!

Hi! This is very helpful. May I ask if you have the stall number of your favorite bag shop in Saigon Square?

[@traveleatvietnam]

Hi - I put specific instructions in the description. I don’t know the stall number.

[@meipeco5428]

​@@traveleatvietnamWill look for the Buddha altar and hopefully see this vibrant lady. Thank you ♥️

In most places, when they see tourists, they automatically inflate the prices by almost 100% or more

[@traveleatvietnam]

That’s true - it’s common to see huge mark ups in touristy places - that’s everywhere in the world!

[@garrybatho8661]

Ben Thanh markets way too expensive.

[@munsaryan]

Ben than is the worst place to shop as soon as they see tourist price shoot up by 400% avoid this place

[@traveleatvietnam]

Ben Thanh market does require some heavy bargaining. The shop’s rent there is quite high that’s why they mark up their prices very high. As mentioned Saigon Square and Taka Plaza is more pleasant shopping experience.
