Ben Thanh Night Market 064
 

The Ben Thanh Night Market comes on alive starting at about 5pm everyday. This centrally located Saigon night market, which is on the 2 roads on both sides of the Ben Thanh Market, is the place to go for your night shopping and late supper. You’ll find contemporary clothing, men and ladies shoes, Crumpler bags, sunglasses, bikinis, souvenirs from Vietnam and a lot more. As for food, the Ben Thanh night market won’t disappoint with a wide range of Vietnamese food from the north and all the way down south. Another big plus point about this night market is that they open till about 12am everyday.

I’ve drawn up a very brief (and quite ugly :-) ) layout of the Ben Thanh night market. Hopefully this will help you better in navigating around. At the same time, I’m breaking down this article into 3 parts. This is Part 01 featuring the many type of clothes you can find here. Part 02 will be on the shoes and bags and Part 03 will be on the food and souvenirs.

I stayed about a week right next to the market…had to walk through these busy streets every night and loved it! I bought two pairs of Abercrombie shorts there, that I ended up wearing for my next three months of travel. Definitely a must-visit place for anyone in Saigon.

Thanks Brook.

The only pity is that the night market is way too small. If only they can extend it to the surrounding roads :-)

Hi! Up to what time is this market open? Thanks!

I bought 2 shirts here in 2008. I wore them for 3 weeks travel in Vietnam and have worn them for the last 3 years! Im heading back in June and one of them will be in my suitcase for sure. Great quality and for about $3 each. Cant go wrong!
