Nha Trang markets, an overview of the 6 main ones: Cho Dam, Ksom Moy, etc.

Nha Trang markets are one of the main attractions of the city located in the east of Vietnam. Here you can always find fresh products and just watch the life of the locals. Previously, only the Nhaecans themselves visited the markets, but the enterprising Vietnamese quickly darted and turned the bazaars into real attractions of the city.

The markets of Nha Trang are very attractive for buyers, because simple peasants, who grow products, most often act as sellers. Unlike Russian markets, prices here are much lower than in supermarkets, and the products are environmentally friendly (Vietnamese farmers simply do not have money for chemistry).

Cho Dam

Perhaps the Cho Dam market in Nha Trang is the most popular among city guests. It is he who is officially the largest and most often tourists come here who want to see the life of ordinary Vietnamese. The main advantage of this market is the variety of goods: here you can find almost everything, from fruits to clothing of local manufacturers.

However, there is a negative side: due to the fact that the place is very popular, prices in this market are slightly higher than in neighboring ones. Know that if the seller speaks Russian, his prices are several times higher than other sellers. But most importantly, remember: bargaining is always welcome!

As mentioned above, the Cho Dam market in Nha Trang is the most popular and crowded, and that is why this place attracts pickpockets. This is not to say that security matters are bad, because most Vietnamese are hardworking and not used to taking someone else's, but you should always be on your guard: do not leave things unattended and do not trust unknown people.

Assortment: at the Cho Dam market you can buy fresh fruits and vegetables, seafood, clothes from local producers and traditional Vietnamese souvenirs, fabrics and jewelry, watches and bags, shoes and dishes, cosmetics and various household items, stationery. In general, here you can find everything.

Xom Moi (Xom Moi Market)

Ksom Moy Market in Nha Trang was opened in the 60s of the 20th century and means “New Neighbors” in Vietnamese. This place is quite popular with locals, but tourists do not like it: there are problems with cleanliness.

Xom My, unlike Cho Dam, can not be called the fish market of Nha Trang, because here they mainly sell vegetables and fruits. Also here you rarely find shops with souvenirs or traditional clothes. But sometimes there are sellers of seafood and tea. By the way, if you want to try Vietnamese shrimp or fish, then go to the fruit market in Nha Trang early in the morning: seafood will be fresh and delicious.

As for the prices, at Ksmo My they are lower than at the Cho Dam market, but still they are not the most profitable for buyers. The fruit market in Nha Trang is located in a tourist place, so guests of the city often come here to buy fresh vegetables or fruits. It is also worth noting that often sellers do not write prices, but only the names of the products. Therefore, if you want to buy goods cheaper, do not hesitate to bargain!

Assortment: mainly fruits and vegetables, but you can find shops with meat, seafood, tea and sweets.

Working hours: 5:00 - 18:00. Remember that it is better to come for fruits and vegetables during the day, and for seafood in the morning.

How to bargain in Nha Trang?

Vietnamese, like other Asians - are very gambling people, and love bidding. Therefore, absolutely all goods sold in the markets already have that value that you can throw off. Of course, there are different sellers, and some do not want to give the goods cheaper. If you meet with such a merchant, then feel free to leave, because the other one will certainly lower the price.

Also remember that during the bidding you must smile broadly and be persistent. The Vietnamese are emotional people, and if you notice that the seller is offended by the low price offered by you, just do not pay attention.

If the merchant does not want to give the thing for your price, then just put the goods on the counter and pretend that you are leaving. In 70% of cases, the seller will call you and agree to sell the product on your terms.Find out RATES or book any accommodation using this form
