Haggle orama is common and expected at Cho Han Market! Approach with a smile and politeness; it is part of the culture. Offer about 50-60% of the opening price from the beginning, and then move up toward a figure you can both live with. Keep in mind that bargaining is an exchange in which friends, or so the illusion goes, have come to a happy mutual decision. Enjoy the process, and remember to walk away if the price does not fit. Most vendors respond well to politeness and often make concessions for visitors.
Most stalls at Cho Han prefer cash transactions, so it is best to always have as much Vietnamese Dong in small denomination notes to have easy and smooth transactions. It may be possible that larger vendors have credit card machines, which is not common, and there are not that many digital payments. You will find a few ATMs around if you want to withdraw cash, but carrying enough VND with you would make your shopping experience go smoother.
Like all busy markets, Cho Han can get quite crowded. Keep a close eye on your stuff, wear a cross-body bag, or a backpack at your front for better security, and avoid flashing large amounts of money. The small precaution will help you enjoy every moment spent on Danang shopping tours: taking pictures, trying local food, and exploring cultural elements, instead of being worried about personal items.
Although many of the vendors speak some basic English, a little Vietnamese can go a long way, and you’ll appreciate the difference it can make in dealings. Here are some useful phrases:
