Shopping for clothes and souvenirs in Nha Trang is quite specific and may disappoint those accustomed to the variety in Thailand. Here's what you need to know:

Clothing and shopping malls:

  • Clothing shopping is underdeveloped. Talks about brand tailoring are for enthusiasts willing to pay high prices. At local markets, you can bargain, but the selection and quality of 'clothes' don't appeal to everyone.
  • Shopping malls: Nha Trang has 'Big C' and 'Lotte Mart', but they fall short compared to their Thai counterparts. 'Big C' seems half-empty, and in 'Lotte Mart', clothes are expensive and basic, food is also pricier than at the market. Their food courts are worse than simple street cafes.

Souvenirs:

  • The best place is the central market for locals (not the tourist one). Here, you need to bargain very actively. The initial price might be inflated by 3 times! Name a price much lower than expected and be ready to walk awayβ€”often sellers will catch up and agree.
  • The night market in Nha Trang is less interesting: prices are higher, the assortment is standard, and it's very crowded. But you can find unique items for a collection, such as a decorative wall plate.

Conclusion: if you're not a fan of hard bargaining and are looking for variety, Nha Trang is not the best place for shopping. For more details on this, as well as buying fruits, coffee, and alcohol, read our article: Features of national shopping in Nha Trang.
