TL;DR
Small bonsai trees are sold at nurseries and flower markets, including in the northern part of Nha Trang; to take one across the border you need a phytosanitary certificate from the seller — ask about this before buying.
Before buying a bonsai, always ask the seller for a phytosanitary certificate or export document — without proper paperwork, customs may not let you take the plant across the border.
Small bonsai trees suitable as gifts or souvenirs can be found at nurseries and garden shops, but not all sellers are ready to arrange export paperwork on the spot — discuss this in advance.
If you want a bonsai as a gift, plan the logistics in advance: how to pack the plant properly and where to arrange the export paperwork before your flight.
