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.
