TL;DR
Nha Trang has local markets for the cheapest clothes and shoes, dedicated malls for Vietnamese brands, and larger shopping centers for international brands.
If a smaller shop doesn't carry what you need, try the large supermarkets — MM GO, Lotte, or Coop — or the relevant departments inside shopping malls.
The cheapest clothes and shoes in Nha Trang are found at local markets rather than malls. Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) does offer a wider selection of authentic goods at lower prices than Nha Trang.
Vietnamese balm (Tiger Balm-style) is available both at pharmacies and in supermarkets and local markets throughout the city.
Locals tend to shop at malls catering to the Vietnamese market rather than tourist-oriented centers. Look for shopping centers away from the main tourist strip for better prices.
Large-format stores similar to KingKong (popular on Phu Quoc) are less common in Nha Trang. Shopping on Vinpearl Island is limited and more expensive than in the city.
Quality Vietnamese-made clothing is available in city malls. Look for malls featuring local Vietnamese brands rather than international chains.
Nha Trang has malls with some European brands, but the selection is much smaller compared to Ho Chi Minh City or Hanoi. Check current store listings before visiting.
Motorcycle gear shops in Nha Trang are limited despite Vietnam being a major manufacturer. Dedicated stores with full equipment ranges are rare — ask locally for current options.
