You killed it on this one! It’s amazing how many of these ladies have not only been on my channel, but also helped to improve my Vietnamese
But your the Vietcong GOAT Phúc Mâp..lol
Ahah so funny bro! Thank you so much! Our video is coming soon! 🙏🏻🫡 thanks for showing me around as much as you were able to!
@@Travelwithchris hi phúc mập. I watched your channel too
😍😍😍😍😍😍
I wanna go to Vietnam :) They look fairly close to the real shoes: ua-cam.com/video/EdoZMurKQJA/v-deo.html
I'm Vietnamese American and i live in SoCal like you, Chris. Thank you for what you did to my brother. Bless your heart.
Vietnamese people in orange county hate Hispanic and treat us like migrants
Wow amazing! Thank you for supporting my work! Means a lot!
socal orange county here baby.
@Travelwithchris hello brother listen to you please
Good to see so much positivity in the marketplace.
Hi Chris, what a lot of non travelled viewers do not understand is that the first price is always @ 500% mark up . They make profit on whatever price you agree too in the end. PS Great vid as usual.
Exactly Jamie! Thanks so much for the comment and for supporting my work!
I ❤Vietnam , the people are amazing . Super friendly and always a sense humor .
They are racist in orange county
@@cgreen1693 I’ve been to Orange County a few times , never had that experience but I was speaking about Vietnamese in Vietnam . I have been there like 8 times month or more stays
@@cgreen1693 you are racist
It’s such a great feeling to give. It’s so much better than being on the receiving side. Way to go Chris.
Yes it is! Love giving back as much as I can!
Me to
@@Travelwithchris is it me or are you shaking like a leaf in the video
@@Travelwithchris why your hand shaking ?
this video is so prefect! i havent gone back to Vietnam in 7 year! i cant wait to go in sept! youre awesome keep traveling the world
You are correct, bargaining is expected. You are looked upon as being smart if you bargain strongly but respectfully. The vendors are good people looking to make a living like everyone. I start at 25% of the asking price and stay firm for a while, then gradually go up. Even though I know I will buy the item, I pretend to walk away. Always highly compliment the item then say that it is above your budget or what you can pay. Then the real bargaining takes place. Have fun with it and respect the vendor. Never pay more than 50% of the asking price but that is rare. Stay around the 25-30% price no matter what they say. Remember, the item you want is not exclusive. It will be elsewhere. In fact, the grapevine seems to travel fast and a vendor will approach you knowing how you bargained and offer the item at a lower price than the previous vendor. It happens more frequently than not. And always, always be respectful.
No
First time I've seen this,like the way it's done,it's real and honest,the ppl of Vietnam are amazing,after all the crap previous generations went through, they are still smiling and happy 🇮🇪☘️
Yes! That's my goal always! At the end of the day, they help make these videos great! So I try and not go so cheap! Thanks for watching
Chris your awesome bro 😂 I was already having a great day ,but you helped turned it into the best day ever.
Thank you all so much for the support! To see more of my travels check out my Instagram & Facebook it would mean a lot to me!

I speak Vietnamese and the guy at the end was telling you he can tell your beat ur meat that morning
They are mate. same an sometimes even better...
Hi Chris, just wondering what is the app you use for the currency??
Would they let you come back to the u.s with a lot of stuff?cause i would want to!!
Travelwithchris @ Somehow... I am already feeling NERVOUS seeing you bargaining like that... Hahahah!
That 1st lady was so lovely and honest 💖 In fact they are all lovely people
Yes she was so nice!
Thank you all so much for the support! Follow me on Instagram to see more of my daily life on the road! 🙏🏻💪🏻

Whenever u buy watches can we buy them from u or send u money to get one
@@ashleysavoie1884 check out rep watch forums like RWG or RWI. Vietnamese stuff is always a step above the Chinese.
I love you for saying you are not going to pay ridiculous prices for brands. You rock, Chris.
$135 is not bad
Went there last week, I love bargaining and talking to these ladies!! They are so funny
Chris is definitely right saying you have to make low offer. When I was the first time in Bangkok (1999) it was really cheap so I didn’t haggle and when said ok to the first price they gave me they looked at me like I would be an alien, later a friend had to show me how to haggle and that you need to do it. It’s part of the whole Asia experience 😅
This takes me back to sailing cargoes ships to Thailand. I used to love buying stuff like that. Haggling was the best part. Awesome stuff.
I am 70 years old living in the USA for 47 years. Thank you for the video and your great heart.
Thanks so much!
Your work is very commendable. I am Vietnamese, when I see your actions, I admire you very much. Hope all good things will come in your life. ^^
Thanks for watching! I appreciate the support so much
I'm with you Vu
Hi! i'm from sweden and just started to watch your videos. I have to say that your personality is the best. So thank you for your awesome videos and for making my day.
Your bargaining skill is astounding! Watching from Philippines.
Thanks so much! I'm hoping to visit the Philippines early next year!
@@Travelwithchris try to go BACLARAN and DIVISORIA. 😁
What is the name of this shop
Hey man that’s really awesome .. it seems you get the thrill out of shopping and bargaining which is great.. to see you give away to a homeless man really made me happy at the end made me think that you aren’t doing this to be cheap but simply like to shop and bargain thumbs up
Now I wanna go to Vietnam just to buy these knock offs that are probably the same quality as originals
Damn right
They are the original who you think mass produces this designer stuff? We paying extra forca name , logo.
Better!
@@815rolsumthn a lot of designer shit is made in Italy lmao not Vietnam
Sure
brother, i lived in saigon for 12 years and i was known in BenTanh as the 10% man. i started off firmly offering 10% every time and often I got what i wanted for 10% the price. my wife , who is Vietnamese, thought I was crazy but over time she grew to know that I was the master negotiator. i went back a few months ago with my family, after 5 years, and people from the market knew me when I was walking up. Ur insight about how they will respect you more if you negotiate is spot on. having said all this, everything you bought is total crap. i subscribed.
why is crap maybe its not that bad and he can use items he buy for long time
Congrats on crossing the 100k mark !
Broo...you had me dying when you said "Chinese" she immediately said she don't like Chinese stuff. Lol
I thought she was about to kill him when she did that.
Ha ha ha
Cause that Chinese made shit gives everyone else a bad name.
She said, “the person, they don’t like….” 😅
@@joecalderon3920 if the camera wasn’t on… 🫢🫢🫢 south east Asia is dangerous don’t go playing over there you gon come back wit missing limbs
Folks out there maybe have a question about Vietnam made, a fair bit of international brands are made in Vietnam, Cambodia and even Thailand. Apparels made in these countries are almost original. Certain original manufacturers would produce more than what was ordered and sell off the surplus
I was surprised that both Trek and Specialized bikes are made in Cambodia, great quality.
Yes exactly!
Awesome vid Mate, honest heart too, all the best for your travels. Just a question, whats the App you use for the currency exchange?
My dream destination definitely going to go now thanks guys it looks amazing
Beautiful country. I am missing Vietnam everyday 😢❤️
The woman there vary beautiful there good woman too
@@nickbedolla7115 I agree, especially in Da Nang ❤️ I love pharmacists there
@@watchmunch3240 I never been there I would love too go fine me a wife do u know any single asain woman
@@nickbedolla7115 Every woman there is single 😄 Husbands are busy playing cards and drinking bia 🍺
@@watchmunch3240 would u like my cellphone number
What a fun watch. I went to Ben Thanh Market for the food. Their street food market is a great place to explore the lifestyle and food culture of local people. Good place to find local fruits and vegetables, too! Maybe next time, I'll get them Richard Mille watches.
@Rolexy jallow 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@Rolexy jallow 🙄 🤔 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@Rolexy jallow from a guy whose name is Rolexy jallow ? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hey brother, super high quality content. Which valuta app did you use for your abroad shopping? ☺
Oh man this brought back memories. I spent many days at this market and to be honest I found these guys not as pushy as some other countries and super friendly . I’ll get back there soon I hope .
The "handsome discount" got me 😂😂
ahahh gets everyone lmao
arrogant
I just found this video. It was fun. Been to all the places too. I'm following you now, for sure! 🥳
I love that Chris is so well mannered 😊
😳😳😳😱. Cool video bro. Waiting for more.
Btw 22:37 what app is that you're using for currency converter?
When that girl fell back while squatting was hilarious 😂 😂😂😂
That's so kind of you ❤...
The man you give the shoe and Tshirts said "No home, souvenir. Motobike... Alibaba. Telephone... Alibaba..." He mean he is homeless and you give him many, it will be stolen by thief. In Vietnam, "Alibaba" mean the thief.
In the end of video, I think maybe he has a mental problem (maybe because he has had some kind of shock in his life) and that's why he holds your hand, presses your pulse with his finger to hear and say "doctor", he means he examines you.
Thanks so much for the support! ❤️
Great Vid!!!! I want to go to Viet next.
BTW, what currency converter app where you using?
I have travelled a lot and the haggling is the best part ! I enjoy it .
Whenever they say $250, you have to go low like $100 for the starting point because when you come back at $200 they will take it because you're counter price was too high brother.
i think its fine. just not about the price :D
I will keep that in mind! Thank you so much for the support!
It's funny how some people think that the next shop has another owner 😅 It's all connected. No matter how low, they always make money 🥳
Just ask it for free cheap ass skeet. You think its fair for them to make a dollar profit?
@@Travelwithchris when they say $250 , you should say $25 right off the bat.
I'm a Chinese seller.
So you know how much luxury brands earn , 10,000% they sell them at $2500 for the originals .
A good example would be Crocs sandals.
Cost of production $1
Suggested Retail price $3
But they sell at $50 a pair .
I highly appreciate you buying every item u did . Thank you for uploading. Was entertaining
Great content,
quick question, what app are you using for conversion of currency?
Woo hoo......bravo....man....i could not believe this video hits 1M views...excellent job bro....i guess you should come back to Vietnam making a tour to Ha noi on the North side of Vietnam so beautiful man....congratulations bro
Lol seriously couldn't stop laughing through the whole video Chris! Love your humor and honesty. I'm still in Bangkok and feel some dishonest and unreasonable prices... i think i need to start going back to more tropical areas and just chill on the beaches lol. Take care my friend!🥰🥰✌
He just gave you a reset on your body. Free acupunture pressure point.
2 months back i visited Vietnam and some of my friends who used to work in Vietnam recommended this Ben Thanh market."fake item market" with extremely expensive price where your bargaining skill comes in hand.According to some of the store owners they will offer Asians different price range and offer Americans or Europeans different price range.
Apart from this market as a whole Vietnamese people are really friendly and Vietnam is always close to my heart
Thanks for sharing! I completely agree with you! Overall a great place to visit!
Most probably he gave you some blessings for your kind heart and good deeds toward him - the Vietnamese way. You are very generous. God bless you.
Great video thank you and giving the stuff to a needy person you are so kind
“I just bought a Rolex in Cambodia” LOL. I love this video. It brings back childhood memories. I’m Vietnamese and living in Chicago.
Thanks so much for the support!
When she “You killing me” ,”you make me so bad”. “You look like handsome Gucci” 😂😂😂 these people got hustle gotta respect it.
Hey Travelwithchris, a great video we will use it when we go to Vietnam. By the way, what is the name of the currency App that you were using? Thank you and happy traveling. KS
Your goodness to people is awesome, always helping those in needs! I like your videos that brings me to the countries that I would like to visit. Happy traveling from Canada.
The Phnom Penh lady at booth 617 was really friendly and quite tactful.
Wow! While watching your video I’m smiling because of bargaining here and there. I love the LV wallet. And thank you for giving the tshirt and the shoe to this unfortunate man.
Good heart
I am from Vietnam and i am living in US right now, watching your video made me miss my country so much, i used to go to that Market a lot, thank you so much for making wonderful videos! I hate to say this but be careful with your phone and your wallet when you walking in Saigon… there some thief there
Thanks so much for sharing that! I loved Vietnam!
Everything is just for YOU , great shows….welcome to Sai gon Chris .
Thank you so much for the support!
I'm also from LA. Live in Thailand. Lazada and Shopee are also selling fake gear. I find in general small towns have lower prices than tourist areas if you have time.
You have the right attitude. People in SE Asia appreciate a small and a happy person. Can't wait to see your other videos.
100% AGREE I GOT ONE FOR 80 USD
Thank you bro for helping that poor guy at the end, fun watching you bargain the price 😀😀
thanks! Where are you watching from?
@@Travelwithchris California but I will be in PDC Mexico on Sept 10th watching ur vid😀 I love PDC Mexico
@@vientran8109 Becareful there, they have weapons and drug cartels.
Very cool watching your adventure 😍👏🏻
From California.
Bro , I’ll be going to Vietnam next year and I’m going to try out bargaining with the Vietnamese people and see how I go and I will be doing the same things like you by not keeping it for myself. I be looking for people that who needs it more than I do .
Bro ur Killin me... ur gonna have me traveling to Vietnam right quick 😆 it's on my bucket list.
Thanks for the video🙏👍
this was great 👍 it wasnt to show whats the bottom lowest dollar but how friendly and how easy it is to negotiate with the people. negotiating will not insult them. Its better to negotiate for a better experience than a price.
he could have save a few bucks here and there but he made some great connections without getting the stink eye 👍👍
Exactly! I didn't low ball them because they made the video great! It's important to treat these people right especially when you're making thousands off the video. Some people are just wrong, there's so many that go out there and film these videos.... get millions of views and spend nothing in the market... that is wrong
@@Travelwithchris Keep it up 👍
One thing about Vietnamese people they are hard workers ! You don’t see people there begging for money, they are on the streets selling what they can to make money. You can also see the First Lady is willing to look through all her inventory just to sell him one more shirt. They are all about earning every dollar I love Vietnam. I’m here now and I’m coming back to visit every year.
I think he tried to show you some kind of pain releaf of your arm with those pokes but he couldn't finish his thing because of the rush situation.
He tried to give that back to you as a symbol of gratitude for your kindness. They do this alot..
Thank you so much for the support! Truly means a lot to me!
Great video!!! Need more like these. Was entertaining as well.
Thanks a lot Mike!!! Dude so many more on the way! I have filmed some great ones!
let me know what you think about my market hunt videos at the grand bazaar😎🤙🏼
i like your video ......and you are so kind with poor man i cant believe you gave the stuff you bought...appreciated it...
That was such a nice touch at the end Chris ✌🏼💙👍🏼🏴
Thanks a lot bro!!!
Hey man, I really love your videos. Where can I reach out to the market? Where can I contact them?
Just subscribed to your channel because of this very video. I absolutely love these fake Market sprees
Cool video clip, Chris. I bought those T fake name brand T shirts to wear at home, and they actually hold up very good. The material's quality was decent too. For the wallets, I suggest you spent just over $200 for a real alligator wallet. I bought one in Thailand. It has lasted many years, still going strong and looks new. I tried a fake wallet in VN. It fell apart just atfer a few days.
To sum it up, some of those " fake products, although their quality can't be compared with the real ones, but some are still of high quality, since even some original name brand goods are made from Asian countries. You'll need to exam the quality of the products to skim out the good ones among them though.
ของเวียดนามไม่ค่อยมีคุณภาพครับ ทั้งของใช้และของกินแพงและไม่มีคุณภาพคนเวียดนามยังบอกของไทยถูกและคุณภาพดีกว่า คนเวียดนามข้ามชายแดนมาซื้อของในประเทศไทย
Thank you for your video 👍 what I was wondering do they cater for the plus size people ie 5xl 9xl? Or shoe size 13-15 w?
Bro 100 percent agree with you. We have to bargain. Those people who don't bargain have not seen the real world.
Arrived here yesterday! Such a nice country! Thanks for the recommendation. Hope we bum into you mate!!
Unfortunately I already left, but I hope you have an amazing time! Enjoy Vietnam!
No worries! all the best in your adventures my friend. Keep up the good work
Hey Chris! I just went from saigon to pnomh penh 2 days ago….you really have to try the dried candied ginger splices and the dried mango slices. They also sell them in the benh than market. Definitely try!
I definitely will try that!!!! Sounds bomb!
Hello chris, New subscriber here I really like and love your video. I appreciate your effort and the way you give some stuff to the streetman. Keep it up and Godbless chris!!
Thank you so much for the kind words and support!
Thank you to enjoy my country,I live in Vietnam 40 years ago now my life is living in New York,But still love my country ❤️
Thank you for watching 🙏🏻❤️
This is a nice man. He knows he can haggle way more but would rather tip extra to support the locals struggling
yes very polite to those market girls !
Yeah they struggling real hard haha
Love your fake market spree videos! Well all your videos lol And thank you for visiting Cambodia btw!
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoy the videos, it means a lot to me!
Wow wonderful channel I could watch your videos all day and visiting Vietnam is on my bucket list.
Thank you so much! I hope you make that trip one day!
Hi Chris your bargaining is awesome new subs here from Phils. Been to Ben Tanh a couple of times too. I enjoyed shopping there. A bit pricey though. Hey can you share what app did you use for budgeting your expenses? I watch you were computing through your app. Happy to be here. Thanks 😀
Thanks so much for the support! The conversion app that I use is called imoney!
Love it! Another great video! That market looks dope lol 😂 I would come back with some icyyyyy shit lol 😝
❤️❤️❤️
What currency app do you use when traveling to those countries?
Enjoy your video Chris. You mastered the negotiation techniques; Bargaining is the norm in the Vietnamese culture so don’t feel bad about it. Regarding the homeless man , when he said you look like Alibaba and you had no clue. Then he said “ Alibaba bay” . Bay in Vietnamese mean “fly” . He referred you to a character in the children’s book “Alibaba and the 40 thieves” . Alibaba had a beard like you and he used the flying carpet to get around. I think when he tried to hold your arm and imitated the doctor’s technique “listen to the apical pulse” because he really thought the you were ill. Only severely sick or crazy person would give him all the nice and brand new stuff. By the way Vietnamese women think long beard guy resembled Bin Laden . So be careful they may think you are walking around with bombs.
Thanks a lot for the kind words!
Interesting , thank you for answering the exact question on my mind.
Lmao love your content man. Love when they whip out the calculators trying to be lowkey and you scream out the price 😂 been to vietnam many times. This is always my favourite part
Glad you like them!
amazing video, do you recommenend hanoi or siagon is you want to spend a month in vietnam
I subscribed because of the interesting content and most of all your generosity of spirit and kindness.
Thank you so much! That means a lot to me!
Love this Video bro!! I can’t stop laughing
Omg you are a very humble and funny guy! I really enjoyed your video!!
I like how respectful you are my dude
Factual
Thank you so much! Means a lot!
I seek to gain your confidence. I love how comfortable you are it’s so fun to watch.
His hands are shaking real hard
Vietnam people are so nice, very beautiful country,
You got hustled my them ladies, but your actually very kind and helping those ladies make a living thumbs up
If you bought a lot of tee’s or bags etc you could make some cool mystery boxes for people who can’t travel out there. $10 balenci shirt?!? That’s cheaper than a t shirt at Walmart
Hi, I like how respectful you are with all of them. Also nice shirt…… pupusas and El Salvador 👍🏼😊🎉
Thanks so much! I miss El Salvador a lot!
Omg - loving this!!! 8:00 - she reminds me of my visit to the Shanghai underground markets - just brutal salespeople.
Great content and interactions mate. Keep it up...
Thanks so much! I appreciate that!
Just stumbled across your channel and love the vids!! Great Work!
One thing to note though - Richard Mille is pronounced "REE-shar MEEL" and not "Richard Milly"...I only learnt that about 2 months ago
You are 💯 right with the pronunciation
I like it a lot when you said you are looking for a wife in the Vietnamese shop. And actually, she is Cambodian from Phnom Phen. You are hilarious Chris. And I like how you bargain also. 😂
A lot of Vietnamese live in Phonom Phen, Cambodia.
That was hilarious
Hey man, what app are you using for that money conversion/calculation??
Chris, you are the. most happy You Tuber, always smile,. You stay awesome!
I would love to go on adventures like this.
