On the western side of Ben Thanh market, across the road, facing the central corridor of Ben Thanh market is this jewellery shop called Ha Tam.
Can any HCM residents verify this?  |
Road on western side of Ben Thanh Market should be Phan Chu Trinh St. Phan Chu Trinh is met by Nguyen An Ninh. With your back facing Ben Thanh Market, there are 2 gold shops on the each corner of the T-Junction of Phan Chu Trinh st & Nguyen An Ninh st. I always use the one on the left. If you cant find it, dont worry, there are many many gold shops all over the market.
Alternativly, go to any of the viet pubs / ktv and ask the girl to change with you lah.
BTW rates fluctuate SGD$100 = VND 1.25mil

Dont you think it is a bit extreme to walk all the way to domestic terminal to change? If taking domestic flight, ok, understand. but if taking international flight? Can change in International terminal arrival hall. Unless you know something which we dont know.
