Thi Nghe Market located in Binh Thanh District, a short ride from District 1 of Ho Chi Minh City is a bustling non-tourist market. This market has been in this location for over 200 years and today is still a popular spot for locals to shop. I'm here to share the sights and sounds, they are overwhelming at times, but will definitely give you a sense of what it's like to visit one of these markets. Typically around the perimeter of a traditional covered market is where alot of the action takes place but if you're new to visiting these markets you must be very aware of your surroundings as most people shop while riding on their motorbike. The interesting thing for foreigners visiting one of these markets will notice almost immediately is they'll will have little attention given to them compared with a tourist type market. Not a good place to search for typical souvenirs but a wonderful way to experience local culture and generally warm hospitality from locals, many love engaging with tourists or foreigners.
