  • 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.

    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 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. ✌️

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!

    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!

      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.
