Thi Nghe Market

Stumpled upon this market on a Sunday around midday. Oh wow - there were simply no other Westerners about. One can buy anything from Bra's to Vegetable and anything in between.

In centre, you can get there everything for meal, meat, a lot of fruits, fish and shrimps still alive, I found even turtles 😳

Thi Nghe market in Ho Chi Minh City is a true reflection of everyday life, bustling with energy and authentic charm. While it may be a bit messy, it more than makes up for it with a wide variety of fresh produce, street food, and household goods. The surrounding food stalls serve delicious local dishes at affordable prices, making it a great spot to experience the city's vibrant street food culture.

It's very locak market near dist.1. I think this is the nearest market as very local market. Surely there are some market in dist.1, but they have been no more local market, targetting to foreigner a bit. Obviously the target this market is local people. So the price is cheap. It's also located beside river and the opposit side of the river is zoo. Anyway it's good to come here if you feel local market.

This market is very dirty. Saw two rats run by 😳 I do not recommend if you are accustomed to western standards… steer clear.

The local local market that expats should visit. It is the model of cover-market originally from France. There are some small roads inside in a well-arranged shape. The price is a bit higher than other local markets but the ambience and the feeling it brings is quite comfortable and energetic to me. The architecture of the neighborhood makes me feel relaxing as well. There are some crowded food stall/store nearby. One is the 'banh mi' (baguette) stall which has a good patê, opens around 4pm til 2am of the next day. Price is 15k for one. Another is a noodle store which is famous of the Aromatic broth with Roasted ducked and egg noodle. Price is 80k/bowl (~ $4). You should try.

A great colourful flower market with delicious food stall for street food

My childhood market. It got rebuilt but the lay out is basically the same. You can find tons of good eateries around and inside the market.
