VietnamDescription and is it worth a visit
Thai Binh Market is a real local market in the center of the tourist area of Ho Chi Minh City. Unlike the promoted Ben Tan Market, it is designed for local residents, respectively, and the prices here are much lower. In the indoor part they sell clothes, shoes, household goods, and on the street – fruits, vegetables, meat, fish. There are a lot of street food stalls here: mostly noodles with meat, buns with fillings (baths), pastries. You can eat from 35,000 VND per dish. In the shops adjacent to the Thai Binh market, they sell coffee and tea by weight, for example, arabica from 320,000 VND per kg, green tea – from 80,000 per kg. For comparison, the Ben Tan arabica market sells from 120,000 DONG per 100 grams!!!
The market, of course, is not very clean and chaotic, rats are running around it. But this is its peculiarity – it is very "local" and non-tourist, one might even say - colorful. If you find yourself nearby, we advise you to take a closer look at fruits and vegetables: their prices here are much lower than in supermarkets and Ben Tan market.
