This shopping mall has the similar range of products, plus more, as the Ben Thanh market - but with the added benefit of being in an air conditioned two level building.

You can find all of the copied brands from shoes to leather goods, from t-shirts to underwear ... and more ... golf clothing, winter jackets, sports wear and watches.

And there are the dried fruits, nuts and multitude of Vietnamese coffees. The only market offerings not here are the fresh seafood, meat and vegetables, and the cooked food stalls.

And the best part... shop in air conditioned comfort. You can bargain, but stall holders seemed less desperate for a sale than the busy market.

Centrally located modern shopping center with air conditioning. Great place to hangout when outside temperature is too hot. The food court seems quite popular among the young people.
