- co-op supermarket (10min cab ride from ben thanh market)
- Aeon around parkson mall
- vincom center, have one supermarket, opened less than 3 years

there's a new supermarket at the basement of the new Takashimaya in Saigon Centre, which is a joint venture between Keppel Land and Takashimaya Singapore

forgot the name but kinda like Cold Storage, which is more upper class

if you want safe, go to a bank in Vietnam and change, don't change at Ben Thanh

co-op supermarket, mostly locals would shop there

i went there to buy lots of toothpaste, the locals keep looking at us when we made our payments at the counter haha ...

Simply not possible. Driving to anywhere remotely in the delta takes 3 hours.

Ben Thanh is like Arcade
of course Arcade offers better rates, but there are people who still change in banks due to more safety

Sinh tourists tours not cheap compared to others around the area and itinerary very common.

Why change in bank when rate is poorer. Who will change in bank here lol. It is pretty safe at BT lah...change in bank does not guarantee much safety too. If amount is big, you can request for delivery to a specific address.

You should beware of counterfeit money. That is much more prevalent in Vietnam. I'm sure there is no way that a normal person like us can check that except in banks.
