Gold Price in Vietnam
This page presents gold prices in Vietnam as the international spot-price equivalent converted at market exchange rates. It is a general guide, not a price quoted by a Vietnamese jeweller, dealer or bank. In Vietnam, gold is a deeply held form of savings: households buy SJC bars and plain rings to preserve wealth through inflation and dong depreciation, and gold is still given at weddings and Lunar New Year. Because the dong is a low-value currency, local figures run into millions per small weight, and shop prices add premiums and dealer margins on top of the metal value.
In Vietnam, gold is most commonly priced per tael, where one tael equals 37.5 grams, and per chi, where one chi equals 3.75 grams, as well as per gram. Confirming whether a quote is per tael, per chi or per gram is essential, since the three differ by a factor of ten.

Gold in Vietnam: currency, quoting and coins
Market context
Gold buyers in Vietnam trade in the same international market as buyers everywhere else: there is no separate local spot price. What differs locally is the currency, taxes, premiums and shop charges — the metal itself is priced from the one international benchmark, converted here into VND.
Currency
The currency is the Vietnamese dong (VND), which has no minor unit in everyday use. Prices on this page are the international spot price converted at the current market exchange rate for VND; the conversion rate, not a local dealer board, is what moves the figures here when exchange rates move.
How gold is quoted locally
The international benchmark is quoted per troy ounce in US dollars. Local shops in Vietnam most commonly quote by the gram for jewellery and small bars; the per-ounce, per-gram and per-kilo figures above are all the same converted price, only the unit changes.
National coin
No national bullion coin is named on this page for Vietnam. Whatever coin or bar a dealer stocks, its value follows weight and purity first — confirm both, and the total price including any premium, before buying.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a tael of gold in Vietnam?
One tael equals 37.5 grams, and one chi equals 3.75 grams; Vietnamese shops quote bars and rings in these traditional units as well as in grams.
Why do Vietnamese households buy SJC bars?
SJC bars are a widely recognised standard that can be resold easily, which suits buyers who hold gold as savings rather than as jewellery.
Why does a Vietnamese dealer's price differ from this page?
Dealers add a premium and a margin to the metal value, while this page shows only the converted spot-price equivalent.
What should I check before buying gold in Vietnam?
Confirm the unit (tael, chi or gram), the purity, the premium and total price in dong, and the dealer's buy-back terms.
Pricing methodology
Gold Updates takes one XAU spot quote in USD, converts it at the current market exchange rate for VND, then derives grams (ounce / 31.1034768), kilograms (grams x 1000) and tolas (grams x 11.6638038). Purity multiplies by karat / 24, applied once. Full details: Data Sources & Methodology.
