We are at the Cai Rang Floating Markets near Can Tho in the south of Vietnam.

The Cai Rang Floating Markets are a popular tourist destination located in the Mekong Delta region of Vietnam. This market has been in operation for over a hundred years, and is the largest of its kind in the area.

To visit the market, we take a small boat ride early in the morning. We started around
5:30 am from Can Tho after haggling for the price with one of several small boat owners. The market operates until midday usually so an early start is necessray.

There at the Cai Rang floating markets we see locals trading goods, bargaining over prices, and socializing with each other. Some boats even offer breakfast on the river. The market participants have a variety of fresh fruits, vegetables, and local specialties for sale - after all the markets are mainly a hub for local farmers to sell their fresh produce and other goods.

In addition to the market, we also see the local way of life along the rivers and canals. We pass by settlements and see locals going about their daily life. The early morning light provides a nice atmosphere also for photos and videos.

After around 40 minutes we have circled the markets and return for Can Tho and breakfast.
