Stores & Markets: CHINATOWN
  • Tip Rating:
  • Name of Shop: BINH TAY MARKET

    A typical LARGE asian market (under a roof).

    I found this market as good as if not better than the covered marked in the centre of HCMC. It is 2 floors and built round a open space in the centre.

    Sells everything (and I mean everything) and the food is wonderful as well.

    Oposite on the other side of the street is another market as well.

    What To Buy: Clothes, Bags, Shoes, kitchen ware, whatever you are looking for.

    What To Pay: Bargin, and its cheap.

     Yes...I remember reading your War Remnants Museum tip. I went there too but even after your tip i wasn't prepared for how graphic the displays were. I had to force myself to look at them. Awful...but necessary to see I think. T.

     Yes, my son got hassled for taking a photo of a bridge when we were in Vietnam in 1995. But otherwise we were given a very friendly welcome everywhere, even though I had been an enemy soldier in the 1960s.

     I loved HCM! Perhaps it was the culture shock...something different....crazy bike drivers, dunno! But I think the people are lovely. The airport sounds like something else...we cruised in ;o) Enjoyed your write up matey :o)
