Recover after exploring the bustling wholesale heart of Saigon's historic Chinatown
Vietnamese: Chợ Bình Tây
Last reviewed: March 2026
Binh Tay Market is the main wholesale market of Cholon, Saigon's historic Chinatown district. Larger and more authentic than the tourist-oriented Ben Thanh Market, Binh Tay features beautiful Chinese-style architecture, a central courtyard, and hundreds of vendors selling everything from dried goods to textiles. It's where serious buyers and curious travelers come to experience the real commercial pulse of Ho Chi Minh City. The market's grand facade and bustling interior are a photographer's dream.
Navigating Binh Tay Market's crowded aisles, haggling with vendors, and absorbing the heat and noise of a wholesale market is an unforgettable but exhausting experience. A massage afterward helps your body recover from the sensory overload.
Binh Tay Market is located in District 6, one of Ho Chi Minh City's most visited areas.
District 6 forms the western extension of the broader Cho Lon area, sharing the Chinese-Vietnamese cultural heritage of District 5 but with a quieter, more purely residential character and less tourist traffic. Traditional shophouses built in the early-to-mid 20th century line the main corridors, with local Taoist and Buddhist shrines interspersed through residential blocks — a streetscape that has changed relatively little over the decades. Phung Hung Street is the district's main commercial artery, running through a mix of local markets, pharmacies, and small family-run businesses. Visitors to Cho Lon typically base themselves in District 5 and pass through District 6 while exploring; the district has limited dedicated hotel infrastructure. Its large residential population makes in-home massage delivery a practical service. MassageGo delivers throughout District 6 from 500,000 VND.
Walking distance: District 5 and District 6 hotels are 10-20 minutes away
Everything you need to know before you book
Shoppers near Binh Tay Market cover a lot of ground on foot — multiple floors, crowded aisles, and hours on hard surfaces. The easiest approach is to book from the taxi or ride home, giving us 1–2 hours to dispatch a therapist. Same-day bookings are the norm for this area. WhatsApp your hotel name and preferred time and we handle the rest.
Shopping at Binh Tay Market typically runs 3–5 hours — long enough that feet and legs feel the impact. Booking from the market or shopping centre, before you head back to your accommodation near Windsor Plaza Hotel, gives us time to have the therapist ready when you arrive. Foot massage and Thai massage are the most booked services after a shopping day.
The therapist arrives at your hotel near Binh Tay Market (District 5 and District 6 hotels are 10-20 minutes away) with massage oils and any service-specific equipment. Setup takes about 5 minutes and the session runs the full booked duration: a 90-minute booking is 90 minutes of massage, not travel or setup time counted in. No prepayment is required. Payment is cash, settled directly with the therapist after the session ends.
“Binh Tay in Cho Lon is the wholesale market version of Ben Thanh — bigger, louder, more authentic, more overwhelming. Spent three hours inside and in the surrounding streets. Got back to the hotel completely done. Booked a Thai massage for the afternoon. Therapist arrived quickly to District 5. The session fixed everything the market had done to my feet and back.”
