CAI RANG FLOATING MARKET
Cai Rang is the largest floating market in the Mekong Delta. Early morning is the best time to mingle with lively trading activities albeit some vendors can still be seen up until noon. Unlike the floating markets you may have seen in Thailand, where small wooden boats thread narrow canals, most floating markets here are on the banks of wide stretches of river and the Cai Rang market is no exception.
