Exotic moonshine with scorpions preserved in alcohol, coffee made from musang excrement, balms with snake venom, lotus candies... All about the unusual and most ordinary purchases in Vietnam.
What to buy in Vietnam- this question is asked by everyone who is going to this country in the near future. I’m also used to planning in advance not only excursions, but also shopping when on vacation, so I’ll try to tell you about what I had my eye on in Vietnam.

Cloth

Vietnam is a paradise for clothing shopping. Markets and shops are littered with all kinds of blouses, T-shirts, shorts, jeans and jackets. I am impressed by women's fashion in large Vietnamese cities: all these stilettos and lace mini-dresses are modest, erotic and feminine at the same time.

There are many in Vietnam sportswear famous world brands: Reebok, Adidas, Nike. Prices are significantly lower than in Russia and Ukraine. If you don’t buy such branded clothing in a market corner, but go to an official store, then the chance of running into a fake is small. When we lived, our neighbor was a Venezuelan - the owner of sports boutiques in his homeland. So he just told us in confidence that Vietnamese factories of the same Reebok They sew much better quality than the representative offices in China.

I prefer to buy clothes in large shopping centers rather than wandering around small shops. There are many advantages of shopping in malls:

Everything in one place (men's, women's, children's clothing, accessories, shoes, suitcases and other nonsense that you may need);

Fixed prices (I always feel like an idiot when they charge me 3 times the real price at the market, I don’t like to haggle);

By keeping the receipt, the product can be exchanged or returned (does not apply to underwear and underwear);

Large malls always have food courts where you can have an inexpensive lunch in between fittings.

Below I will write about those malls where we had a great time in Hanoi.

South, center and north of Vietnam: fundamental differences in clothing shopping

When they ask me: “We’re going to Vietnam, how’s the shopping there?”, then the first thing I do is clarify what specific place. Vietnam- an elongated country, more than 3 thousand kilometers long. The south and north countries are very different from each other not only in the mentality of the people, but also in the goods that are in use there.

For example, in the south of Vietnam You won’t find warm jackets and sweaters in stores. The most you will have to be content with is some kind of insulated jackets and jackets, flannel shirts with a hood and moccasins. In the southern cities (, Vung Tau,) it is warm even in winter (although a cool wind may blow in the evenings and a windbreaker will come in handy).

Vietnamese in the south are smaller and shorter than their compatriots in the north of Vietnam. Standard young a Vietnamese woman in the south usually wears our XS and S (p. 40-42). The sizes in stores will be appropriate, i.e. The standard for our region female 46-48 is a rarity.

You can’t even dream about clothes for curvy ladies in Vietnam. Of course, the Vietnamese are adapting to tourists, and recently, in resort towns such as Nha Trang and in large cities with an airport (Danang, Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi), stores with clothes for Europeans and appropriate sizes have appeared.

A special chapter in the post about shopping will be, which is located in the center of Vietnam. It's not only shopaholic's paradise, but also Mecca for people with a non-standard figure. The inhabitants of ancient Haiyan are entirely tailors and shoemakers. There is a tailor shop or shoe tailor at every turn.

Fabrics and materials - expensive and natural: leather, suede, silk, satin. Long evening dress to the floor - 30-50 dollars, handmade leather sandals according to your measurements - 15 dollars, classic men's suits - from 50 dollars.

Work quickly: Today they took measurements and tomorrow they gave me the finished dress. For a fee, you can negotiate faster.

Thermo Clothing, which in the last decade has become simply an indispensable thing not only at ski resorts, but also in ordinary cities, is also sold in Vietnam.

When traveling around the world, you always want to bring something to remember your trip. Therefore, it is not surprising that everyone abroad asks the question: “What should I bring as a souvenir?” And Vietnam is no exception. This Asian country has a lot of interesting and useful things: Vietnam is a paradise for shopaholics and lovers of exotic souvenirs. You will be surprised not only by the range of products, but also by the low prices.

Markets and shops

Prices in local markets and in stores are not very different, but they differ. Typically, stores sell branded clothing and shoes, equipment, jewelry and souvenirs. By the way, there are few such stores in Vietnam. In the markets you can buy all the same things, but handicrafts, plus an abundance of hand-made products. They are aimed at local buyers and those who want to save money on goods.

The only disadvantage of market products is their quality (not counting food products). With low prices and excellent bargains, tourists stuff their suitcases with whatever they can find. Usually, the choice of souvenirs depends entirely on what region of the country you are in. Then there is the question of the amount you have available. And one last thing. You must decide what it should be: a gift or souvenir.

Coffee and tea

Tourists usually bring tea or coffee from Vietnam. Green tea is sold everywhere here - pure and with various additives - lotus, ginger, oolong and others. In order not to make a mistake when choosing tea, we advise you to buy it in a store that lets you try it. Usually they buy teas from the Than Nguyen brand. A kilogram of tea will cost from $6.5 (with additives) and $4 (pure tea).

Vietnam has very high quality coffee (the second largest coffee exporting country in the world). However, there is one point: the Vietnamese know their secrets and secrets of brewing coffee. They have a whole ceremony here. Therefore, if you want the same coffee at home as in Vietnam, you need to buy a special cup for brewing coffee and watch the brewing process in a cafe. Popular coffee varieties are usually Nguyen Chung or Kopi Luwak. Typically, a kilogram of high-quality coffee will cost from $4 (it all depends on the bean size and variety).

Fabrics

As you know, Vietnam is famous for its natural silks. But it is best to buy silk not in the market from traders, but in shops at the factory. If you take a silk product, pay attention to the item completely - so that the pattern is uniform, so that there are no defects (hooks, knots). Usually they buy robes, dresses, stoles, shirts. So, a robe will cost about $11, pajamas – $6-8.

They also bring from Vietnam paintings embroidered on silk or handmade fans. But the cost of such products is high. For a painting embroidered on silk you can pay up to $100 (size 60x40), large canvases cost from $350, and handkerchiefs cost $2. Please note that the product “shrinks” after washing. Therefore, it is worth buying silk clothes one size larger.

Leather Products

Compared to other countries, reptile leather products are not that expensive. They are usually sewn from crocodile or snake skins. For example, a men's belt costs $6-10, wallets and small bags cost $10-15, and a women's small bag costs from $2.

Clothes and shoes

Branches of famous brand companies Nike and Adidas have been opened in Vietnam. Therefore, you can buy clothes and shoes of these brands at low prices (in Ukraine they cost four times more, and it’s not a fact that you will buy a branded item). For example, here you can buy sneakers for $50, and T-shirts for $6-10.

Jewelry and gemstones

As with other goods, prices for items made of silver, gold and pearls differ significantly in Vietnam from Ukrainian prices. And, naturally, you need to buy such products in specialized stores. Require certificates for all products! The cheapest pearl products are sold on the shores of the China Sea. It is there that he is caught (raised). In Saigon you pay twice as much for pearl products. Before making a purchase, consult with someone who understands pearls. Pearl products cost from $8 and above (depending on what you want to buy - a ring, beads or the pearls themselves). And pearls are sold in white, black and pink.

The country has the cheapest silver products. And they are very beautiful. A pair of silver earrings will cost from $2. Products made of silver with precious stones will be expensive, almost like ours, but you won’t find such a cut in Ukraine. Some bring silverware and cutlery from Vietnam.

Exotic tinctures and alcoholic drinks

There is no excise tax on alcohol in Vietnam, so high-end foreign drinks are inexpensive. In addition, the country produces more than 100 types of alcoholic beverages. From local alcohol they prefer to bring rum, with different additives and tastes. As souvenirs, they bring alcoholic tinctures with various reptiles - snakes, lizards, iguanas, scorpions and frogs. Usually such souvenirs are sold in markets and private shops. The price depends on the container and the animal that is preserved in the bottle - from $2 to $10.

Fruits

This country has a huge selection of exotic fruits. There are also non-perishable items that you can bring home. For example, lychee, longan, mangosteen, rambutan and many others. Before buying, be sure to bargain, because prices for fruits are several times higher. In stores, the price for fruit is set (bargaining is inappropriate). We advise you to purchase phytosanitary documents from sellers. And find out at Ukrainian customs (before flying to Vietnam) which fruits are prohibited from being imported into our country. So that upon arrival they are not simply confiscated from you. As a gift, you can buy fruit chips from mango or ginger, or candies with fruit fillings in Vietnam.

National souvenirs

The abundance of souvenirs on the market stalls in Vietnam is eye-opening. Craftsmen are trying their best. Here you will find bamboo products, wooden plates, trays, figurines, painted vases, musical instruments, objects inlaid with mother-of-pearl, household utensils - spoons, forks, hairpins, chopsticks, paintings, masks, boxes, national dolls and more.

Traditional souvenirs in the country are flip-flops and panama hats made of banana (or palm) leaves. However, do not look at the size of the slippers - they do not correspond to our sizes (measure the length with a ruler). Flip flops are cheap and cost $1 a pair. The hat also comes at the same price (sometimes cheaper).

Traditional medicine

Many tourists bring traditional medicine from Vietnam as souvenirs. This includes the famous “Zvezdochka” balm (6 pieces for $1) and various rubs – cobra, python or tiger fats. Balms for rubbing against radiculitis here cost from $1.5, creams for dermatitis from $4, tinctures for “male strength” from $2, a lot of ointments, balms of natural origin, dietary supplements. And, of course, all of them need to be bought only in pharmacies, and not in markets.

Are you convinced that you can bring a suitcase of souvenirs from Vietnam as a gift to your family and friends? So, take care of extra luggage for everything you are going to buy in this exotic country. Good luck and have a nice time!

When a person goes to another country, one of the questions that interests him is what he can bring from there for himself, his family and friends. In this article we will analyze in detail what things can be brought from Vietnam for useful use, as a souvenir or gift.

Coffee and tea

Tea and coffee are traditional choices. Vietnam is one of the largest coffee suppliers in Asia. From Vietnam you can bring:

Nguyen Trung Coffee

A good Vietnamese Arabica-based coffee, famous for its smooth taste, which makes you want to drink several cups of it.

Arabica

While it may not be anything recognizably Vietnamese, good coffee never hurts. In Vietnam you can find it of very good quality.

Robusta

Most robusta is grown in Vietnam. Many people do not like this variety because the taste is too simple with pronounced bitterness. But Robusta contains twice as much caffeine as Arabica (which will be a big plus in the early morning), and the best drinks are made from a combination of Arabica and Robusta.

Luwak

A very exotic option, but characteristic and purely Vietnamese. The production process of this coffee is as follows: fresh beans are eaten by an animal called musang, after which the pulp surrounding the coffee beans is digested in its stomach. The stomach juice of musangs breaks down the proteins that give coffee its bitterness. The grains are found among the animal's droppings, cleaned and sold. They say it has very good taste. But it’s rare that a tourist will be willing to buy a large amount of this coffee and want to drink it. So most people will simply have it in their bag as a typical souvenir from Vietnam.

Tea

The tea that can be brought from Vietnam is premium green tea Thai Nguyen, beloved by both tourists and Vietnamese, Blao, as well as high-quality oolong, which is well known to many. In general, green tea is mainly imported from Vietnam, although black tea can also be found on the shelves. Many people advise bringing drinks with additives; tea with lotus flowers, which has a very strong aroma and a pleasant mild taste, is highly rated. This variety leaves a long aftertaste.

Exotic fruits

A good choice - ( separate article). The thing to remember is that they will only stay fresh for a few days, so it's important to gift them and eat them as soon as you get home. The best exotic fruits:

1. Pitahaya, aka dragon heart or dragon fruit. A large, beautiful fruit of bright pink color with “scales” that are green at the ends. Inside it is white, with a large number of small grains, similar to kiwi grains. Pitahaya does not have a distinct taste, but it is very pleasant to eat due to the consistency of the pulp. In the end, you can just admire them. You should definitely bring this fruit if your circle of friends includes people who carve fruits and vegetables, or just creative people: pitahaya is ideal for this!
2. passion fruit. It has a delicate taste with a pleasant sourness. Sometimes in supermarkets they sell it with a bag of white crystals. Attention: this is NOT sugar! This additive is incredibly sour; it should be sprinkled on fruit only if a person wants to test his or her endurance.
3. Guava. This green fruit is shaped like a pear. Its flesh is dark red, soft and sweet in taste.
4. Longan, or dragon's eye. Small fruits with a dense brown skin and translucent white pulp, a large inedible pit. The fruit has a very pleasant and fresh grape taste.
5. Young coconut. A young coconut has nothing in common with the ones we are used to. This large nut contains a lot of milk, salty and extremely illuminating. There is probably nothing that quenches thirst better. On the contrary, there is little pulp in it; it has a peculiar taste and consistency of jelly. It is recommended to try it for everyone traveling to Vietnam or Thailand. You CANNOT carry it on an airplane!
6. Lychee. A small fruit of bright red color with white flesh. The taste is similar to longan.
7. Papaya. A large green fruit with pumpkin-orange flesh, the taste is similar to melon. Papaya can essentially be found at any time of the year, but in the south of Vietnam it ripens the earliest.
8. Mango. Vietnamese mango is different from Thai, Indonesian and Philippine. It has a sweet taste and a delicate thick consistency.
9. Regular fruits. Even oranges brought from Vietnam are said to be tastier and sweeter than those that can be found in our country.

Spices for every taste

Like any country in Asia, Vietnam is full of high-quality spices - both familiar to everyone and exotic. Spices are always a useful thing that you can buy for yourself or as a gift. Plus, many of them are inexpensive. By the way, tourists are advised to buy spices at the Viet Farm store, which sells about 40 types. So, what can you bring from Vietnam:

1. Black, red and white pepper. Timeless classic. By the way, successful combinations are also sold in Vietnam: black pepper with lime, red pepper with salt, and even red pepper mixed with grated dry shrimp. It is better to take peppercorns; ground ones quickly lose their quality. You can buy sets of different varieties of peppers; they are beautifully packaged and make a wonderful gift.
2. Vietnamese chili. Has a pleasant spicy taste. This pepper is best not consumed by people suffering from stomach upsets. The smaller and thinner (that is, younger) the pepper, the spicier it is. Many people recommend bringing it.
3. Star anise, or anise. An excellent seasoning with a unique aroma reminiscent of licorice root/licorice marmalade. Anise can be put on a plate, fortunately, it is very beautiful, used instead of chewing gum, or brewed tea with it (for example, Moroccan).
4. Ginger. A classic Christmas cookie.
5. Turmeric, indispensable when cooking meat.
6. Cinnamon in pods and ground.
7. Seasoning for pho soup.
8. Other spices known in Russia: cardamom, fennel, basil, mint, cilantro, sesame.
9. Lemongrass, which is added everywhere in Vietnam.
10. Lemongrass.
11. Lotus seeds.

Vietnamese alcohol

Vietnamese alcohol is not very expensive, and there is a wide range of options. Strong drinks should be taken from proven brands; Vietnamese ones are not very good.

1. Beer— green and red Saigon. Red is stronger and has a brighter taste. If you plan to buy alcohol in Vietnam, it is better to take Tiger beer, which is distinguished by the fact that it has almost no hangover. You can also take draft Vietnamese beer, which has good taste.

2. Wine— white and red Vang Dalat. This is a Vietnamese classic that the locals drink.

3. Rum— brown ISC.

4. Strawberry wine in Dalat.

Attention: People's tastes in alcohol vary greatly, and many people believe that the drinks listed above cannot be consumed. It should be noted that in Vietnam there are no “pearls” like Italian wines, so perhaps only true connoisseurs should bring alcohol from this country.

Asian cosmetics

Little is said about Vietnamese cosmetics, and this is strange, because they are of good quality. Almost all of it is made from natural materials such as turmeric, aloe vera and snail extract. Some Vietnamese-made products can also be found in Russia, but at a much higher price. We read reviews from tourists and found out what we can bring from Vietnam:

1. Acne 25+ cleansing gel from Mentholatum. Cleanses the skin very well, contains small granules for light peeling. Recommended for those who love hard riding on a bike or motorcycle, because road dust pollutes the skin very much.
2. Film mask from E100. There is an option with turmeric, aloe vera and cucumber. Easy to apply, hardens quickly and is very easy to wash off, has an anti-inflammatory, moisturizing and tightening effect, exfoliates dead skin particles.
3. Film mask with activated carbon. Perfectly removes dirt from pores (blackheads), deeply cleanses pores. It also helps get rid of acne and inflammation.
4. Collagen face mask made from seaweed seeds. Sold as a package with seeds, it is enough for 20 masks. As is already clear, it consists of natural raw materials. The skin becomes clean and moisturized, irritation and redness are less noticeable. Helps against fine wrinkles. It is prepared in a very interesting way, which is better to read about in detail. The main thing is that it should not be washed down the sink; algae will sprout from the seeds and a clog will form!
5. Various creams with snail mucus. They perfectly moisturize the skin and have a slight rejuvenating effect. Extracts from plants are usually also added to these products. It is not difficult to recognize these creams: a snail will always be depicted on the packaging in one form or another. The most popular are Thorakao brands,
6. The same brand, Thorakao, has very good and inexpensive shampoos. Particular attention should be paid to shampoo made from saponin pods and natural herbal extracts. There is no chemistry in it at all. It strengthens hair, stimulates its growth, nourishes and moisturizes, and is good for split ends. The manufacturer claims that the shampoo is harmless even for children.

Traditional medicine is very developed in Vietnam. To this day, in this country, people are treated with herbal tinctures and preparations made from exotic ingredients, such as snake blood and ground deer antlers. This product will definitely bring a special local spirit into your home. Whether it is worth treating with what will be written in this article, we do not undertake to say. For serious issues, it is better to consult with a qualified doctor, and do not replace traditional medicine with traditional medicine.

Alcohol tinctures on some pretty creepy stuff are very common in this country. For example, you can find a jar with a cobra preserved in alcohol, clutching a scorpion in its teeth, with a chick or a rat. The seller will claim that such drugs are very beneficial for health and that they repel evil spirits. Unfortunately, it’s unlikely that you’ll be able to take such a colorful item home, so let’s move on to something more traditional.

The most popular medications among tourists are:

1. Cebraton- improves brain activity and functioning of the cardiovascular system. Makes a person more attentive, improves memory, increases the ability to concentrate. Helps with insomnia. Some use it as a prophylactic after strokes. It will be useful for those who have hard work and constant stress.
2. Glucosamine- promotes the restoration of cartilage ligaments and tissues after injuries. It has a good effect on sore joints. Glucosamine contains many active substances; you need to accurately calculate the dose of the drug.
3. Song Hao- increases sexual desire in both men and women. This trend is especially popular in Vietnamese medicine; such drugs are made from natural ingredients and are highly effective.
4. Eva Hoi Xuan- a good drug for menopause.

Ointments and balms:

Ointment "White Tiger"

1. First of all, this is a well-known balm “Star”(in fact, it is called “Golden Star”, which is the name you should look for in Vietnam). Now it can also be purchased in the form of a pencil or ointment, and even inhalations are made with it. Used for colds, migraines, various insect bites and the like. It is sold at a very low price, so you can buy it for many years to come.
2. - a remedy for joint diseases, for stretch marks and pain in ligaments and back, as well as for radiculitis. The main component is cobra venom, which helps the ointment quickly penetrate the muscles.
3. "White Tiger"— its action is similar to Cobratoxan, while it also warms up the muscles, improving blood circulation.

Jewelry

Vietnam is famous for the variety of pearls and pearl products on the market. You can purchase an unusual pearl and simply store it in a box as a memory of your trip, or buy a full-fledged piece of jewelry. There are bracelets, necklaces and earrings in different price categories (depending on the metal, quantity and quality of pearls, their size, color, level of shine and matching in the set (bracelet or necklace), etc.).

Products with precious stones are also sold in Vietnam, the most popular being topaz. Jewelry with topaz can be purchased here at several times cheaper than in Russia.

Before buying jewelry with pearls and natural stones, we recommend reading about how to distinguish them from fakes. In any country, only the largest stores can be trusted in this regard.

Attention! Jewelry must have a certificate, which the store must issue after making a purchase. Without a certificate, problems may arise at the airport.

Cloth

Vietnam has most of the stores we are used to, so you can always buy clothes there for everyday wear. There are Reebok, Nike and Adidas stores. The quality, if you buy in branded stores, is at the same level, and the prices are lower. However, we will also tell you about more colorful clothes.

1. Vietnamese silk. Vietnam has a well-established production of clothing made from natural silk. They make everything from it - dresses, ties, scarves. It is better to buy silk in special stores, since in the markets there is a risk of finding artificial silk passed off as natural.
2. Cotton. Almost no cotton is grown in Vietnam; it is imported. Cotton is used to make clothes from famous brands, which can be purchased very profitably here.
3. Ostrich and crocodile leather. Clothing, bags and clutches are made here from ostrich and crocodile skin. They are not that expensive, but they are of good quality. On the market, however, there is a risk of buying a fake. However, before buying such a product, you should think about whether you need it: every purchase encourages the killing of animals without any particular need, because many people carry such bags purely as a souvenir, and not for any advantages of these materials over artificial leather .
4. Specialized clothing. Vietnam produces specialized sportswear, for example, for snowboarders and surfers. It is of high quality.

Paintings

Art lovers can bring paintings from Vietnam.

1. Silk. Silk paintings are a unique product of Vietnam, the finest work that is appreciated by the whole world. Such a picture will definitely remind you of the country. You can buy it, for example, at the XQ gallery-factory in Hoi An.
2. Sand. This art is not traditional for Vietnam; it appeared here quite recently. It is associated with the name of the artist Yi Lan, who collected 33 shades of sand in Vietnam throughout her life. Both original paintings and copies of famous paintings are made from sand here.
3. Popular prints. Such paintings are created in three stages: the design is carved on wood, then paints are prepared from natural materials, special “zo” paper is made and the painting is printed on it. All drawings are simple and understandable, conveying everyday or folklore scenes.
4. Varnish. Bright, shiny lacquer paintings will decorate any interior.

Attention! You should be given a certificate for the painting. Without it there will be problems at customs!

National souvenirs

The most popular souvenirs are the pointed non hat, the national Ao Dai costume made of natural silk, and the well-known flip-flop slippers. They often bring figurines and boxes made of bamboo and mahogany, as well as natural stone.

Ceramics

You can purchase beautiful tea sets or vases made from Vietnamese ceramics. Beautiful designs, unusual patterns, variety of colors and good quality are what distinguish these products. Such a gift will definitely not gather dust on the shelf. You can combine your purchase with a trip to the ceramics production center and watch the work of real masters of their craft.

Technology and electronics

In Vietnam, household appliances and products from Samsung, Apple, Lenovo and HTC are actively purchased. The reason for this is the price is 30-100 dollars lower than in Russia. The only problem may be bad phone firmware, which is why the Russian language will not be built in correctly. However, this is easy to fix. We recommend purchasing equipment only from official stores to avoid purchasing counterfeits or low-quality products.

Where to shop?

There are many shops in Nha Trang - both large and small outlets. Official stores of major brands such as Adidas, Nike or Apple are located here. There are many tourism products.

Also presented in abundance. Here you can buy cheap clothes, fresh fruits, aromatic spices and, of course, souvenirs. There are markets where you can buy almost everything you are interested in in Vietnam.

So, from all of the above, what and where should you buy:

• Coffee and tea— in shopping centers, markets (if you know the real price and are not afraid to bargain), as well as in specialized stores (available in the discount section);
• Exotic fruits- on the street in tents or in shopping centers. We are afraid to buy at the markets, because the fruit lies almost directly on the road where the bikes ride.
• Spices— shopping centers and markets.
• Alcohol— shopping centers, markets (cheaper) and specialized stores such as Alco House (large selection, there is a discount coupon);
• Cosmetics— in pharmacies located in shopping centers;
• Medicines and traditional medicine preparations— in pharmacies (there are discount coupons);
• Jewelry— in jewelry stores like Princess Jewelry (there is a coupon);
• Cloth— in official brand stores (best quality), in markets (specific and exotic outfits);
• Paintings- in markets or on;
• National souvenirs- there are only markets here;
• Ceramics- also markets;
• Technology and electronics— We recommend purchasing only from large stores and official resellers.

What cannot be taken out of Vietnam

There is a list of things that cannot be taken out of Vietnam. This:

1. If there is no certificate: jewelry, paintings, antiques, manuscripts and historical documents.
2. Gold and precious metals weighing more than 300 g. This requires permission from the National Vietnamese Bank.
3. Any weapon, even a souvenir.
4. Exotic plants.
5. Drugs (of course).
6. Stuffed lizards, turtles, scorpions, crustaceans and insects, eggs of rare animals and birds, bird nests and corals.
7. Liquid whose volume exceeds the permissible limit.
8. More than three glass bottles of alcohol per person.
9. Shells, but everyone has been circumventing this rule for a long time and not getting into trouble.
10. Durian, coconut and watermelon cannot be carried on the plane. They will have to be enjoyed on earth.

It is better to treat these prohibitions carefully, as there are large fines, for example, for transporting 15 centimeters of coral you will be fined $500.

We tried to talk about the most popular products that tourists bring home first, but that’s not all. Whatever you buy, remember that the most important thing is the memories that will stay with you for many years, so try to get as many of them as possible.

Souvenirs and unusual gifts that you can bring from a trip to Vietnam

New ideas on what to bring from Vietnam: souvenirs and unusual gifts that will surprise you

Naturally, the first most unusual gift on such a list will be a bottle of snake tincture.

This is an alcoholic drink made from snake venom and designed in a very original way: inside a glass container with a volume of 0.5 liters or more, a real snake is preserved in alcohol. In addition to snakes, scorpions, frogs and various lizards can also alcoholize in such bottles. The price depends on the animal placed inside and the volume. It is believed that such tinctures help against many ailments. But tourists buy them mainly as souvenirs, since not everyone dares to try this exotic taste.

For those who do not like alcoholic drinks, you can purchase silk paintings. These are real works of art that will delight the eye.
Some other rather original gifts include the following:

Nonla is a traditional cone-shaped hat made from palm leaves to protect locals from the sun.
Pearl jewelry. But it is worth remembering that it is better to buy such jewelry in trusted stores so as not to run into a fake. Natural pearls are grown on oyster farms located on the shores of the China Sea. This is where you can buy beautiful and relatively inexpensive jewelry made from real pearls.
Painted national masks, made by hand and looking very... original.
Lanterns made of bamboo and silk will be a wonderful addition to the interior and will decorate your home.
Ointments, as well as balms based on snake venom. Here they can be safely used for their intended purpose. Such ointments are suitable for older relatives and the elderly.

For children, you can purchase products made from bamboo and mahogany - these include various boxes, frames, figurines; as well as patchwork toys and keychains made from crocodile legs.
For girls and ladies, you can bring silk products, fans, painted dishes (if you are not afraid of breaking them on the way).
And for men, you can choose belts, purses or purses made of genuine leather.
And, of course, not a single tourist can pass by the traditional footwear of Vietnam - flip-flops. They are the most common selling product here, popular among visitors.

You can also bring tea and coffee from Vietnam. Of course, you need to know where to choose good varieties of these drinks. And it is best to buy tea and coffee in specialized stores in large cities such as Dalag. There are also entire coffee plantations where they will not only sell you the highest quality drink, but also give you a tour and introduce you to the intricacies of growing coffee beans.

All souvenirs and gifts from Vietnam cost very real money, and you can even bargain for the thing you like, as this is very much valued in eastern countries. But you should remember that there are goods and items that cannot be exported from the country and that Russian customs will not allow through. This is, first of all, the local currency. You also cannot export from the country: antiques, rare animals and stuffed rare animals, some fruits (watermelon, coconut, jackfruit and durian), weapons, more than 300 grams of gold and precious stones, corals and shells, as well as gas and electric souvenirs, and even the fish sauce “Nuoc Mam”.
So be careful when purchasing souvenirs in Vietnam. And be sure to please all your friends, loved ones and loved ones with a piece of this country.

Pearl in Nha Trang

The first thing worth talking about is pearls. Many people know that in Nha Trang you can buy pearls at low prices and of good quality. The questions remain: “Where?” and “How to choose?”. In this blog we have already described how to choose real pearls. For more details, read about this in the article about. Pearls in Nha Trang are sold on every corner and all sellers assure that they are real. To buy really good pearls, first of all, you need to choose one of the following paths.

How to buy pearls in Nha Trang?

The first way is to buy pearls in the tourist area in one of the shops with beautiful windows on Tran Phu, Nguyen Thien Thuat or Hung Vuong streets. The advantage of this route is that you will definitely be provided with all the certificates for the purchased pearls. Minus - You will pay 2-2.5 times more expensive than if you take the second path.

The second way is to go for pearls in non-tourist places, in stores where there are no beautiful windows and sellers trying to speak Russian. There are many such shops in the Cho Dam market area, or on some streets in the blocks around the market. The advantage of this route is the price - it will be 2-2.5 times lower than in the tourist area, but the disadvantage is that if you go alone, you may be given a low-quality product or a fake. You can use this option if you have a familiar guide or Vietnamese who will accompany you to the store and who will have his own interest, but you will not be given a low-quality product, and the price will be much lower.

Creams, ointments, tinctures, cosmetics from Vietnam

Who doesn’t remember the famous Vietnamese “star”? There is practically no Russian person who has not used it at least once. But besides the “star”, in Vietnam there is a huge variety of ointments using natural herbs and having a wide healing effect.

Committing shopping in Nha Trang, be sure to replenish your first aid kit with ointments such as “White Tiger” and “Cobratoxan” (or their analogues “Hong Lin Cat - Red Cobra” or “Nayatox” ointment), which will help get rid of various pains and, first of all, help you overcome pain in the joints.

Many tourists often pay attention to the so-called snake tinctures, sold in various pharmacies and Vietnamese shops. Friends, remember - no one will ever put a real cobra or other rare snake in a bottle of tincture! This is prohibited by law, and even more so, such goods cannot be exported outside of Vietnam and imported into the territory of the Russian Federation. However, you should not try to take out other animals in any form - usually problems arise with this as well.

But still, real snake tincture exists, and to find it, you don’t have to go to an ancient shaman in a remote Vietnamese village. Such a tincture is often made by local residents themselves, offering it in their shops and small cafes. Usually the drink is contained in a plastic barrel, at the bottom of which there are snakes coiled tightly in rings: of various types, but still you are unlikely to find at least one rare and expensive specimen there.

Also, about Vietnam, there are many other types of tinctures and specific decoctions - among them, for example, tincture for geckos and seahorses, as well as the herbal mixture “amakong”, consisting of a variety of medicinal roots, herbs and even tree bark!

Distinctive a feature of all Vietnamese ointments, balms and tinctures The fact is that they are made exclusively on a natural basis. Due to this, a powerful healing effect is achieved. The fame of these drugs has spread far beyond the borders of Vietnam itself and more and more people around the world are using these remedies. At the same time, many traditional Vietnamese drugs are extremely undervalued, because... repel the buyer with their specificity, which in no case should scare you - after all, all this was created by people to strengthen their own health.

Of course, all the advantages of Vietnamese traditional medicine cannot be described in one article, therefore, if you need more detailed and in-depth information on this issue, we recommend consulting with Russian-speaking specialists who work in many tourist Vietnamese pharmacies throughout the city. We will tell you a little about them below.

Throughout the tourist center of Nha Trang, as well as in its surroundings, you will find many similar shops selling Vietnamese traditional medicine and traditional medicines. The most famous of these “pharmacies”: – “Sapphire”, “Pharmacy 777”, “1001 nights” and others.

In general, the range of these pharmacy stores is practically no different. Prices on average also remain at the same level, which allows you to calmly find and choose what you like without fear of overpaying. The quality of goods in such establishments always remains at the same level - for the most part, there is no point in selling counterfeits and low-quality goods - there is too much competition in the city. Therefore, prices are kept at a minimum, and sellers fight for their clients.

So, in these pharmacies you will find:

• ointments, creams
• tinctures
• means for blood vessels
• products for back and joints
• means for immunity
  and much more

In addition, in addition to traditional medicine and tinctures, many such pharmacies offer for sale various related products that may be of interest to tourists. As a rule, these are nuts, dried fruits, cocoa, tea and coffee of low or medium quality and low price category, often at slightly inflated prices.

Tea and coffee from Vietnam

Coffee appeared in Vietnam at the end of the 19th century, when French colonists began to grow it here. Since then, Vietnam has developed so much in terms of its production that at some point it even overtook the famous Brazilian coffee in terms of world export volume! And yet, finding high-quality and tasty coffee in Nha Trang is not so easy...

Many vacationers in Nha Trang often encounter outright fraud and counterfeiting when buying coffee from plastic barrels in city markets and in small Vietnamese tourist shops. Almost always, the product from such counters is a low-quality counterfeit, having only the name of good coffee. Unscrupulous sellers take advantage of the fact that few tourists really understand the quality of coffee beans and can distinguish unreasonably expensive coffee from a truly high-quality product. Therefore, when you come across a shop in the city filled with colorful containers of coffee, labeled as “Luwak 100%, without oil”, “Mocha cappuccino” and other similar names - you better think again before parting with your money under the admonitions of the seller about “The best coffee in Vietnam.”

The Vietnamese themselves have a rather specific taste when it comes to coffee drinks. They prefer to drink very strong and sweet coffee, almost always diluting it with condensed milk. In addition, local residents are not accustomed to caring about the quality of the chosen drink, giving preference to the cheapest and most widespread varieties, as well as simplifying the process of producing raw materials as much as possible.

That is why our tourists are often very surprised when they try the “vaunted” Vietnamese coffee and discover that it does not meet their taste expectations. And that's okay, because those of us who really love this drink usually prefer the subtle flavor Arabica. But the residents of Vietnam do not really understand this type of coffee, choosing much more bitter and tart robusta – coffee growing on a very unpretentious and easy-to-care type of coffee tree.

In fact, if you really want to surprise your family and friends by bringing them something unusual as a gift - Vietnamese coffee, made by the Vietnamese and for the Vietnamese, is just what you need! After all, this is exactly the drink that the locals themselves drink every day. But most importantly, do not forget to include a jar of condensed milk with the gift - without it, this drink is unlikely to seem tasty to anyone.

The most common coffee brands in Vietnam:

• Trung Nguyen
• Me Trang
• Highlands Coffee
• Leguda

Prices for such coffee are usually quite low, and the range of types is very wide. Traditionally, classic Vietnamese coffee is brewed in the so-called “fin” (shown in the picture above). We always recommend taking it in order to brew the drink the way the Vietnamese themselves do.

So where can you find good coffee?

However, not all coffee produced in Vietnam is of low quality. In general, there are many grades of quality for coffee. And the drink that we are used to seeing in a cup of espresso in a good coffee shop is, of course, “specialty” coffee.

Producing coffee of this quality requires strict adherence to many complex processes that are an integral part of a high-quality product. So far, there are only a few companies in Vietnam that create “specialty” coffee.

One of the few such production facilities in Vietnam was organized by company "La Viet Coffee" Focusing on the quality of their products, the company's enthusiasts have created a full cycle of high-quality coffee production in the mountainous city of Dalat, which is rightfully the “coffee capital” of Vietnam. Possessing 30 hectares of their own plantations, real masters of their craft create a unique coffee product, the quality of which is not inferior to famous world brands.

In addition, right at their factory there is a wonderful coffee shop, where experienced baristas will delight you with delicious coffee drinks of different types and brewing methods.

The company “La Viet” also managed to become famous for its coffee tours, which they organize for everyone. During this tour, you will be clearly shown all the stages of coffee production at the “specialty” level, you will learn many of the intricacies of this complex process, and will also take part in a master class during which you will learn how to quickly and easily brew coffee using the classic Vietnamese “fin” .

If you do not plan to visit the city of Dalat during your vacation, then you can purchase coffee from the “La Viet” company in the city of Nha Trang by ordering delivery directly to your hotel on the website nhatrangshop.ru

“The famous Luwak coffee” – is it worth taking?

There are many stories about this, to put it mildly, unusual type of coffee - one more contradictory than the other. In fact, everything is much simpler than many people think: Luwak coffee really exists, and it can even be found in Vietnam. But there are pitfalls here too...

First of all, it is worth saying that Luwak coffee is a specific, exotic type of coffee, which is obtained by fermenting coffee beans in the stomach of a small animal similar to a marten. His name is Luwak, or “chon”, as the locals call him. It is believed that passing through the intestinal tract of this animal, the coffee bean acquires special taste and aromatic properties, being saturated with certain acids.

And as they say on numerous forums on the Internet, a cup of drink made from such grain can cost as much as $50-60!

Here in Vietnam, you have the opportunity to try and purchase this coffee at much lower prices than those you can find on the Internet. And the explanation for this is very simple - when Luwak coffee is mentioned somewhere at several thousand dollars per kg - we are talking about wild Luwak, which is incredibly difficult to produce. To create it, many factors must successfully coincide, which determines its fabulous cost. In Vietnam, local residents were able to simplify the process of producing such coffee by creating farms where hundreds of similar animals live, and, with the help of a special diet, produce kilograms of the coffee product of the same name. Hence the large volumes and fairly low price for an exotic type of coffee.

You can try this coffee, as well as get to know its furry producers, as part of an excursion to the mountain town of Dalat, when visiting the Prenn eco-park.

Green tea from Vietnam - how good is it?

Green tea is the traditional national drink of Vietnam. Tea trees were brought from China during the formation of the first Vietnamese state, and thanks to the suitable climate and mountainous terrain, they took root here perfectly. Remember the main thing is that if you are offered to try tea, you should not refuse. This is not accepted here.

Artichokes have long been grown in the mountainous province of Lam Dong, in the vicinity of the city of Dalat. Therefore, prices for artichoke products are lower in this area.

But still, for me personally, there is nothing better than a cup of green tea with lotus. The enchanting aroma and rich taste will not let you forget this drink. It tones the body and removes negative toxins from it. Be careful to look at the packaging for the manufacturing date. In the above mentioned products, freshness is extremely important.

In Nha Trang there are many tea shops specializing in Vietnamese tea, as well as offering some Chinese varieties. Most of them employ sales consultants who will definitely advise and help you choose a drink to suit your taste.

We recommend that you always carefully approach the choice of tea drink, and do not allow yourself to be lured by the low price or exoticism of the product - because often tea with “mango”, “jasmine”, or various “milk oolongs” are just a flavored parody of real delicious fermented tea. In order not to fall for the bait of an unscrupulous manufacturer, we recommend that you first look for the inscription “ huong“, which means flavor or aroma.

On our own behalf, we can recommend products to you Long Dinh Company– we managed to verify its quality personally! Growing their tea on the sun-drenched high mountain slopes of Lam Dong province, professionals in their field collect only the juiciest and youngest top leaves of the tea bush so that you can enjoy the fullest taste and aroma of the drink.

Long Dinh offers a large assortment of premium quality green and roasted (black) tea. Their products can be found both in some tea shops in the city and in the showroom of our partners, the company “La Viet Coffee” and on the website of the online store nhatrangshop.ru

P.S. There is also a good network of Vietfarm stores in the city, which sell a large selection of tea without “firewood”.

• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• 
  

Here you can buy just such tea, and more than ten types (milk, lotus, jasmine, ginger, etc.). Also, in addition to tea, there is a good selection of coffee BY LONG, dry roasted, without oil. All products are packaged for you in a special foil-lined bag, which is also sealed.

Alcohol products from Vietnam

Vietnam produces quite a wide variety of alcoholic products of varying quality, both for the domestic market and for export. In addition to traditional alcoholic liqueurs, rum, wine, beer and local vodka are produced here.

At the same time, the Vietnamese themselves do not really favor alcohol stronger than beer, putting strong drinks on the table only on special occasions.

For example, local wine - many people think that thanks to the French, there are still “those” authentic wineries here that produce a worthy product. In fact, absolutely nothing remains of the famous French quality here. Most wine products are produced on an industrial scale, counting on mass consumption by tourists. The quality of these drinks leaves much to be desired, as does the taste.

But no one says that you can’t find good wine here at all. First of all, Nha Trang has a ton of wine shops that stock a variety of excellent world wines. In addition, if you search well and ask the price, you may well find a private collection of local small wineries located in the vicinity of the city of Dalat. The prices for such wine are usually more than modest, and the taste may well satisfy even the most demanding lovers of this drink.

The quality of most types of local alcoholic products is at a quite acceptable level. For example, local rum - in addition to its cheapest varieties, this drink is very soft and is made from completely natural raw materials (which grow in huge quantities on plantations around the city, we are, of course, talking about sugar cane). And Hanoi rice vodka, which is the official main strong drink of Vietnam, is not inferior in quality and softness to our premium varieties.

The most important thing is to take the time to compare prices in different places, so as not to give away too much of your hard earned money for a product that is not the most expensive.

And of course, we must definitely warn you that you should not take alcohol that is supposedly infused with various fruits, coffee and cocoa, but is sold in original containers. None of the Vietnamese will complicate their lives and really infuse rum with mango or chocolate - it is much easier to add flavoring to the bottle, which is what most manufacturers of rum drinks with “non-classical” flavors do. And even if such a drink is sold on tap in the tourist quarter - trust our experience - most likely it is a flavored cane distillate...

There are several of the most famous brands of Vietnamese strong alcohol. For example:

• Rum Chauvet
• Rum Asia
• Vodka Hanoi
• Vodka Men

There is no need to look for a specialized alcohol market - you can find these drinks in almost any store in the city.

As for the world's famous alcohol brands, you should be careful when purchasing drinks from them in Nha Trang. Due to the high demand, many stores unscrupulously sell fake and counterfeit products. It is not safe to consume such drinks, so we strongly recommend that you drink foreign alcohol only in establishments, and buy only local products in stores!

As mentioned above, local residents for the most part prefer to drink beer rather than strong alcohol. Therefore, the beer produced here is of excellent quality. Moreover, all locally produced beer is made from rice - after all, the ingredients we are used to are simply not found in nature here.

The most famous beer brands in Vietnam:

• Saigon Bia
• Ha Noi Bia
• Bia 333
• Bia Tiger

If we talk about draft beer, here the tastes of our compatriots and the Vietnamese begin to differ greatly. After all, the Vietnamese love very light beer, and do not have their own culture of bars and pubs. Therefore, draft beer here is sold freshly brewed, in iron bottles, in special establishments called “Bia Hoi”. Such beer cafes also offer a wide range of different snacks to accompany beer and often become places for mass viewing of sports broadcasts. So we can definitely recommend visiting such places to all lovers of such recreation!

• cask rum
• cask wine
• plastic container
• the largest selection of elite alcoholic drinks in the city, which are cheaper than in Dutyfree
• free tasting

The store is really nicely decorated and most importantly has good prices. Be sure to come if you need good alcohol.

Cloth from Vietnam

Silk products in Nha Trang

Today in Vietnam there are a very large number of factories where Vietnamese craftswomen sew products no worse than those in famous fashion houses (which, by the way, often sew their products here), copying products with amazing accuracy using identical patterns. In Nha Trang itself there are quite a lot of small shops with designer clothes from young Vietnamese designers.

But first of all, Vietnam attracts people with its silk products - clothes and silk paintings. Shopping in Nha Trang gives you the opportunity to choose all kinds of dresses, bathrobes, scarves, as well as pajamas and shirts. By the way, you can order a product to order, individually, according to your measurements.

Note: Traditional Vietnamese pajamas are called Ao ba ba. And the classic women's outfit - a tunic with slits on the sides and trousers - is called Ao dai.

The craftswomen from XQ create stunning, intricate embroideries on silk canvas, not only making custom clothing and traditional Vietnamese outfits, but also creating amazing masterpieces of painting.

Moreover, girls work (and only representatives of the fair sex work in the XQ company) directly in the exhibition halls, among their own works, so that clients can clearly see the complexity of their manual labor.

Silk paintings are incredible works of art that take months to years to complete. There are special specimens that the master works on for half his life or his whole life. Of course, the last copies are priceless and are given to exceptional people, while other copies are available to everyone and at very varied prices - on average, such paintings can be bought for prices ranging from 40 to 20,000 dollars, depending on the size, number of details and colors of the silk threads that were used. used in production.

Clothing made from environmental materials

There are small companies in Vietnam that produce casual and beachwear from environmentally friendly materials. There are several stores of one such company in Nha Trang. They are called “Bamboo” and as you most likely guessed, absolutely all the products in their store are made from green bamboo.

With incredible strength and flexibility, bamboo fibers are an ideal material for creating clothing. Their special structure allows bamboo fabrics to breathe, which is truly indispensable in the hot summer. And this material is absolutely hypoallergenic and does not irritate the skin!

In Nha Trang

Everyone wants to bring memorable gifts from their vacation that will refresh forgotten impressions after their vacation. Buying souvenirs in Nha Trang is not a problem. The main source for buying gifts is the night market, which is located in the city center, next to the local cultural center. It gained fame as a place with not particularly high-quality products.

Magnets, keychains, figurines, and vases with the symbols of Vietnam are in great demand among tourists. Don't forget about buying national hats, popularly called kon. Agree, the first association that arises when mentioning Vietnam is this headdress.

By the way, the already familiar Vietnamese filter for brewing coffee called “Finn” is an excellent option for a gift souvenir for all coffee lovers!

Wood and stone products

In Vietnam, various boxes, figurines and even entire sets of furniture made from different types of stone and wood are extremely popular. Here, real masters of their craft have been creating such works of art since ancient times. We definitely recommend the works of local craftsmen - it’s hard to think of a more authentic souvenir than a classic piece of furniture from a wealthy Viennese home!

Traditional painting

Nothing conveys the special spirit of Vietnam better than scenes of everyday peasant life among the natural beauties of this country, made using a special technique of painting with varnish on wood. Under the skillful hand of the artist, the paint can change color several times, gradually disappearing under layers of varnish.

Many similar works are made by inlaying various stones into the surface of special polished wood. This is how truly masterpiece and large-scale works are created here, sometimes amazing the imagination. Often such works of art can be seen and purchased in large Buddhist temples - the monks themselves earn their living by creating such works.

Electronics from Vietnam

At the moment, there is consistently high demand in Vietnam for phones from Apple, Samsung, Lenovo, HTC, Sony and other brands. It's all about the price. In Vietnam it is indeed lower by an average of 30-50 dollars than in Russia, but of course you need to compare these prices before purchasing.

An excellent way to purchase electronics in Vietnam at a low price is the Lazada.vn website - a site similar to our Avito, Slando, etc. Often in the vastness of its catalogs you can find phones, cameras and laptops at a price 10-15% less than in Russia.

We also recommend buying equipment in Vietnam from official dealers. These are the yellow shops THEGIOIDIDONG (thegioididong.com) and FPT shop. There are many of them throughout the city. The most convenient for tourists are perhaps close to the railway station and Vincom Mart.

But in addition to recommendations, we would also like to warn you, dear readers, against unscrupulous sellers offering defective and, as a result, unsafe to use goods. Therefore, try to choose equipment in stores of official dealers. or at least on large and decent-looking market stalls. Also, be sure to check all electronics for serviceability “without leaving the cash register” in order to avoid possible incidents.
