7. Shopping tips for Korean visitors at supermarkets in Nha Trang

When shopping in Nha Trang, Korean visitors should keep a few things in mind to make payments easier and ensure proper food storage.

• Bring both cash and a card: Major supermarkets generally accept international cards, but cash is still useful at smaller stores or for low-value purchases.
• Check the currency before confirming a card payment: If the POS terminal offers the option to pay in KRW instead of VND, check the exchange rate and conversion fees before making your choice.
• Follow the storage instructions on the packaging: Kimchi, mandu, meat, refrigerated foods and frozen products should be placed in the refrigerator or freezer as soon as possible after purchase.
• Buy fresh foods at the end of your day's itinerary: If you still plan to visit the beach or spend several hours sightseeing, return to the supermarket later to avoid leaving fresh food in the heat for too long.
• Check import regulations before buying food to take back to South Korea: Certain products, such as meat, animal-derived foods, fresh fruits and vegetables, or processed foods, may be subject to import controls upon arrival.
• Choose the right type of store for your needs: General supermarkets such as LOTTE MART are suitable for buying a wide range of products in one trip, while K-MART, K-MARKET and speciality Korean grocery stores are better if you only need specific Korean ingredients or products.
