BEN THANH MARKET
Picture
Ben Thanh Market is your standard market that is present in many cities throughout Southeast Asia. Think the famous Chatuchak Market in Bangkok, Central Market in Phnom Penh, and Central Market in Kuala Lumpur, and you get an idea of Ben Thanh Market.

For sure, this is not to say Ben Thanh Market is not worth visiting. Far from it. In fact, we believe each market is unique in its own way, and that is why we always try to visit such markets to get a sense of the local culture underway at the market.
Picture
Ben Thanh Market is your go-to place to get the standard touristy souvenirs and street food. If you are adventurous, buy some spices and bring them home to cook. There are also fresh tropical fruits for sale, which you may not see in your country. And, since most of these fruits come from local sources or in neighbouring countries, they are also much cheaper than in the USA or Europe. Durians and mangoes anyone? Or, you could simply enjoy the experience by walking around the market.

No matter your choice, this is a good way to get just a glimpse of what Ho Chi Minh City is like, even if many stores are actually catered to tourists!

​Address: Le Loi, Ben Thanh, Quan 1, Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam
