The main nightlife areas in Ho Chi Minh City are located in District 1, such as Bui Vien Street and Pham Ngu Lao Street, but there are other exciting spots across the country where expats, tourists, and locals gather to enjoy the night till dawn.

Whether you're in Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, or any other part of the country, this section is open for all. From brand new to pre-loved items, expats, tourists, and locals alike can list their goods here. CEO has no involvement in these transactions, so buyers and sellers need to connect directly. Feel free to list items you want to give away for free as well, as we encourage a generous and supportive community. While Amazon and eBay may ship some items to Vietnam, doing things locally can save you both time and money. Start buying and selling within our vibrant community now!

Have a car, truck, motorcycle, or bicycle you'd like to sell? List it here for free. You can even buy and sell electric scooters or your trusty Honda Wave here. Remember, you need a valid driver's license in Vietnam for cars, trucks, and any motorbike over 50cc. And always prioritize safety - wear a helmet!

Looking for an apartment to rent in Vietnam? We've got you covered. This is a helpful starting point for expats who are moving to Vietnam for work or to live. Finding a villa, condo, flat, or house to stay in upon your arrival is likely a top priority. Browse our listings from the community! If you have a property for rent, feel free to list it here for free.
