On the Rolexes there’s about three or four different grades of quality. So the bottom level of quality yeah they used to be really cheap but the top level of quality they don’t keep in the show cases. The lower quality watches are in the showcases. The lower the price the quality.
I haven't been back in VN for a long time. The last time I was there I didn't mine paying a little bit over the "regular" price for cheap stuff but if I want something expensive then I asked my local relatives to find and buy it for me.
HA Tam money exchange is better than Mai Van because Mai Van has a tendency to give smaller notes that are dirty or slightly more worn, but never had that issue with Ha Tam. Also if you ever want to find the best place and a good bargain in S.E.A then follow the Koreans, they're the smart ones when it comes to that sort of thing. I am not joking , they travel quite a lot & they're pretty savvy travelers in the region.
Love your shopping videos plus I’ll be there in September so this was so so helpful. Is Ben Thanh or Saigon Square best for shopping for LV or Dior for good quality? Unless you are aware if a particular store that has the best quality? ❤
A little advise....come back to the ben thanh market at night time....but instead of in the benthan market....go outside of it.....they sell more more & more cheaper that in that ben thanh......
Agree with the sneakers, the fake ones tend to be tighter than the real one, at least the Nike ones. The fake New Balance's and most running shoes are a pretty good deal though.
Hello brother, could you please tell me Polo Ralph Lauren shirts price range in ben thanh market. Also which is best & cheaper B.T. or saigon square or Hanoi markets ?
10:17 Food recommendation??? DO NOT EAT HERE, it is absolutely crawling with roaches up from the gutters. stop by at night and at closing to see the bonanza for yourself lol. Then they have the little flat roaches even in the day with people.
I believe you mate. Southeast Asian coach roaches, especially those in Vietnam, can be as long as our middle fingers. Btw, there aren’t just roaches, there’s also rats running around at night. I’d rather spend more $$ and eat at legit restaurants.
Same thing in Malaysia. Vendors didn’t want to be on camera. My guess, and obviously just a guess is they’re beginning to get in trouble. My follow up guess is in 5-10 years they won’t be able to sell a lot of it
At places Chợ BT I generally assume a 500% markup. So whatever price they ask, assume it's actually worth 1/5 of that. You might be able to talk them down to 2/5 of the cost, but no lower, because they probably lose face if they can't price gouge the foreigner a little bit. Bear in mind, also, they're getting gouged themselves by the landlord.
it's funny hearing them talking about you in viet.. "there's so many westerners filming etc"
I heard what they said when Chris walked past them. LMAO
Of course, everything has gone up since covid..even in the US.Seems like you want them for nothing..everyone has to make something
What were they saying?
@ 12:27 thumbnail .....
btw great info. on the haggling 👍
Are there also big backpacks/ trekking bags 50-60 Litter like deuter or osprey to buy?
Can’t see them:)
Thanks

Good video! Shows exactly what goes on. Thank Chris
Thank you for your video.
You don't think it's better to go to Saigon square? I think there are more choices and it's a little cheaper.
Wow your Vietnamese is getting better thanks so much for your video.

Hey man was just wanderinf if you could remind me again what is the bank that has zero or low fees from Australia to international
We ate there a couple of days ago, great value for money! Didnt go for shopping at all
Was at An Ðong market and they were selling t-shirt and short sets for 700k. Outrageous prices and they weren’t budging which was crazy.
Thanks for this great video. Do the vendors prefer payment in their local currency or USD? Does anyone else here know?
Always pay in dong the local currency
So if we are excellent negotiators, we can save $.80? I think I would rather spend my spare time learning Vietnamese than negotiating for $.80.
Kia ora - heading over in June. Would be keen for guided walk round
Do they get cash? Or card?
Last year I found a seller on the street in old auarter selling tshirts for 100k. Showing as fixed price. Good to know they only pay 20 for it

For properly quality you’d likely have to go to one of the malls in sai gon
12:29 Are those real?
17:14 Whats the gold price per oz buy and sell price!? I really got to know!!
!

A little advise....come back to the ben thanh market at night time....but instead of in the benthan market....go outside of it.....they sell more more & more cheaper that in that ben thanh......
so you say it cheap and shirt will have hole in a week, where do you get quality clothes if possible 🙏
Chris learned alot about price hustling in VN...You gotta hustle with these store sellers. Nice Chris nice.

Yooo they have 4X Shirts? That's awesome
Hello brother, could you please tell me Polo Ralph Lauren shirts price range in ben thanh market. Also which is best & cheaper B.T. or saigon square or Hanoi markets ?
When it comes to a couple of dollars,i couldnt be bothered to go back n forth
Price increased!!! They went ham
What is the actual quality of the fake Rolex? The one in Korea were complete shit. My guess is they come from the same place.
They are on to you negotiating the prices. I can hear them talking in the background 😂
So even a NorthFace backpack 200-250 K $10.75 . Nice

All of Ho Chi Minh is crawling with roaches and rats. The food at Ben Thanh is still delicious lol.
How do they make a living selling the same craps as 20 other vendors in the same building?
Pretty girl ❤❤❤
Same thing in Malaysia. Vendors didn’t want to be on camera. My guess, and obviously just a guess is they’re beginning to get in trouble.
My follow up guess is in 5-10 years they won’t be able to sell a lot of it
Sup! Brotha, the better money exchange one is "Ha Tam Jewelry"? I couldn't get it from the vid.
Can you buy the shoes in bulk and ship them to us
Would a dude be able to finde double edge razor blades at that market?
That lady with the Man City jersey going hard.. lol.. 50k fi dat
Did you ever get sick from eating at Ben Thanh?
I’ve eaten there like hundreds of times at all the stalls and never gotten sick.
Top G testing the market.. good information.. comparing between pre and post covid...
Highly overpriced market , seller expect sometime double the price for fake product
Please can you help me connect with the lady that sells shirts at 80k , i own a store in Africa
He won't reply😂
I love you. Lol. Put them on their toes 😅
😎👍
what saved my ass at Ben Than Market was having my VN fiance with me. she was able to talk/understand/make sure i didnt get hosed.
