Ho Chi Minh City Shopping Tips by yuet29

You can get your vietnamese costume - ao dai ( pronounce as 'ao yai') here. Ben Thanh market offer a good range of choices on ao dai. The costume can be ready in one to two days time according to your figure.

Vietnamese is very smart, most of the parts of the clothes are ready except some critical joint which need customer's figure. They applied this theory in supply chain called postponement to reduce the inventory and improve the respond time. Cool.

Many shops in Dong Khoi selling local crafts such as silk bag with stiched pictures, necklaces, brooch ext. The prices are usually expensive even after bargain.

If you try Cho Lon, you will probably find the product with same design with same quality, offer in a far cheaper price.


What To Pay: Visit Cho Lon before Dong Khoi to compare the price (if you cannnot afford). If you dont mind paying more, then just buy.
