A visit to Ben Thanh Market, what a great experience!

Written by

If you are visiting Ho Chi Minh you will likely end up at Ben Thanh Market having a look around.

We have been there twice so far and I’m sure we will be back again a few more times.

Well I hope so (Update –) We have already been back a few times now!)

I only managed to get a few photos and shoot one video in this visit.

Keeping one eye on the kids doesn’t leave you too much time for good photos.

The funny thing is the last time we went there it was a Public Holiday and it wasn’t very busy at all.

This meant we got hassled a little more than normal to buy stuff off each stall as you walk past.

When you enter the market for the first time, if you aren’t used to large noisy crowds, it can be a bit daunting.

So just hold onto your bag, go with the flow and enjoy!

Here is some information for you about the market and what’s inside it and of course, photos and a video to watch.

Biloela, a great place to live and visit in Queensland

Biloela Sunset at the BMX Track and Netball Courts

I thought that I would write a Things to do in Biloela page that will cover us moving here and also all the little things I/we have found out on the way.

So here on this page you will find the places we have visited, the trades people we have used and also anything else that I find out about Biloela and the surrounding districts.

I’ll keep adding to it as I remember or refresh the page.

Moving from Brisbane to Biloela

There are many things to consider when you move, especially if you are looking at moving to Biloela like we did.

Finding a removals company wasn’t too hard in the end.

The shifting and preparation that goes into the moving is the hard part.

We found out the hard way that we should have been culling our household items a long time before we needed to and I’m sure this is the case for anyone that moves!

We threw out junk, we sold what we could on Gumtree, and managed to get our house hold into a truck that could handle 40m3 sizing.

Even then it felt like we had taken too much to Biloela and so we have downsized again a little after moving too.
