The Ben Thanh Market is Saigon's largest outdoor traditional market. According to Lonely Planet, the market, which is in the heart of the city, sells food, clothing, tools and spices. Lonely Planet also says the Ben Thanh Market sells traditional Vietnamese specialities, including weasel coffee. That's coffee harvested from beans in the excrement of a weasel. Lonely Planet suggests bargaining with the sellers. Prices, as of August 2010, tend to be inflated compared with other markets in Saigon.
