Shopping at Ben Thanh Market
What could only get your day a lot better since you are set to discover the tranquility and the fast pace of Ho Chi Minh City while also being properly prepared for it. The area is indeed tropical, meaning the best clothes to wear will be light and streamlined ones. Make sure you have those walking shoes on because you will be hopping from one market street right down to the museum floors. You’ll, of course, need to bring a hat or cap to shield you from the sun, maybe a small backpack to carry a water bottle and sunscreen, along with any souvenirs you may pick up along the way. Also a light rain jacket, or better still, a poncho, can be very handy, especially in the rocky season when it rains.
On this “Discover Ho Chi Minh from the Mekong Delta in One Day" tour, your health will come first. Keep water close at hand to drink enough, as naturally, the sun blazes ferociously. We recommend smearing yourself well with sunblock even as you set out for your day and then ensure frequent reapplication, especially in the case of sensitive skin. And, of course, on this trip prone to insect bites, you can bring an insect repellent for protection. There is no designated vaccine for this tour, but it is always recommended to have your routine vaccination up to date before traveling. And most importantly, follow the instructions of your tour leader by always staying with the group, particularly in crowded places like the markets.
Respect for local customs and traditions extends to every aspect of Ho Chi Minh Tours: act in such a way that your visit is enjoyable to both you and the locals. One such example is dressing modestly within religious sites, such as temples or the Notre Dame Cathedral Basilica, by ensuring that your shoulders and knees are covered. It is also usually polite to take off shoes at the gate, if not required to, as a sign of further humility. Bargaining is quite a usual activity at places like Binh Tay and Ben Thanh markets. It is always done with enough good humor and smiles, though. Approach the locals with a bright smile and a friendly attitude. Small gestures of respect will enhance your experience and leave a good impression for sure.
Photography Tips: You must wish to snap the beauty and vibrancy of locations that we visit, taking the “Explore Ho Chi Minh from the Mekong Delta in One Day" tour, but be sensitive to cultural norms when taking pictures. Ask for permission first from the people you are photographing, especially in markets or religious sites. Be empathetic to the content within the War Remnants Museum since it is sensitive historical material. The best shots are very early in the morning or late afternoon, with the light producing a golden hue in your photos. Last but not least, set the camera down at times and fully engage, because the best moments are sometimes not captured on film.
