For any traveler, shopping becomes an integral part of the trip. This is not only the purchase of souvenirs as a present for loved ones, but also the purchase of useful goods for the home, health and other needs. In Vietnamese lands, the level of shopping is quite good, although less developed than in neighboring Thailand. The country has something to offer foreign guests. What is better to bring from Vietnam when your eyes run wide from the proposed variety of goods?

You need to focus on three key criteria:

• where the tourist rests;
• how much money does he have?
• what is the priority - souvenirs or useful things.

Despite the similarity of gift products, each Vietnamese region has its own peculiarities, for example, when decorating the same goods. There are many markets in the state, prices here are affordable. Small magnets can be purchased for 10-15 rubles, painted plates - 60-100 rubles, a kilogram of quality tea - from 150 rubles. The country's currency is the Vietnamese dong.

Tea and coffee

These drinks are brought from Vietnam in the first place. The value for money is impressive - for little money you can get a high-quality product. The coffee of this state is highly rated in the world market. Few people know that the country ranks second on the planet in terms of coffee exports.

The main variety grown here is Robusta, a kilogram will cost $25. For a pack of arabica or mocha bourbon of the same weight, the buyer will pay $18. A variety called green sells for $30. The most expensive variety is Luwak or Chon coffee. Gourmets leave rave reviews about it - for its preparation, coffee beans are passed through the stomach of musang animals. They are processed by enzymes, which becomes the highlight of the unusual taste.

In Europe, about 50 euros will be charged from a client for a cup of natural Jeon. The Vietnamese ask for a kilogram of this variety from $ 1,800. On the shelves of stores you can meet Jeon for $ 45, but this is not natural product. It is made from grains artificially processed with enzymes.

Tea is no less popular here. The Vietnamese appreciate the green drink. His average cost- from $ 4, if there are additives, the fee will increase by another 2.5. The most popular varieties of green tea are Thai Nguyen and Blao. A drink with jasmine, ginger and cinnamon is distinguished by a strong aroma and unique taste, and an additive from lotus, mountain herbs, and chrysanthemums is also in demand.

Shoes, clothes and silk

Clothing can be divided into two groups: those that are sold in company stores, and those that are sold in the markets. You won’t be able to buy branded outfits at a discount, they won’t make it in boutiques. But the cost is already lower than in other states. For example, a Nike or Adidas T-shirt can be found for $10, sports shoes— for $15. Among local producers, Blue Exchange and Nino Maxx stand out.

On the market stalls, you will also be able to buy a quality product, but there is a chance to stumble upon a fake. Therefore, you should choose a thing carefully. The advantage of market trading is the opportunity to bargain. With a skillful conversation with the seller, clothes will cost 4-5 times cheaper than similar ones on the Russian markets.

Of the shoes, it is worth highlighting the traditional flip flops. They are not just for wear. It is also a great souvenir bought in the country that invented them. The cost is about 1 dollar.

What to bring from Vietnam to notorious fashionistas? Of course, silk products and local costumes made from this material. They are called Ao-Dai.

The nuance associated with buying clothes is that it is not always possible to find the right size, especially for those who are inclined towards fullness.

And those who like to dress warmer should head to the northern regions, since there are practically no such goods in the south.

Fruits

What is brought from Vietnam and other tropical countries in the first place? Of course, fruits. The choice of this treat in the country is very rich, the cost is low. Moreover, they are grown right there, which distinguishes their taste from analogues on Russian shelves.

Of the popular varieties of coffee, they usually carry Nguyen Trung or Kopi Luwak. Usually, 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 merchants, but in shops at the factory.

For a picture embroidered on silk, you can pay up to $100 (size 60x40), large canvases cost from $350, and handkerchiefs $2 each. Please note that after washing the product "sits down".

Fruits

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

National souvenirs

Here you will find bamboo products, wooden plates, trays, figurines, painted vases, musical instruments, items inlaid with mother-of-pearl, household utensils - spoons, forks, hairpins, chopsticks, paintings, masks, caskets, national dolls and more.

Vietnamese slippers and panama hats made of banana (or palm) leaves are considered a traditional souvenir in the country. True, 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 in the same price (sometimes cheaper).

traditional medicine

Many tourists bring traditional medicines from Vietnam as souvenirs. This is both the famous Asterisk balm (6 pieces for $ 1), and various rubbing - cobra, python or tiger fats. Balms for rubbing from sciatica here cost from $1.5, creams for dermatitis from $4, tinctures for "male strength" from $2, many ointments, balms of natural origin, dietary supplements. And, of course, all of them need to be bought only in pharmacies, and not in the markets.
