Cai Rang floating market


Cai Rang floating market
Originally uploaded by bastchild.

This floating market was only 5 km up river from Cantho. We spent the night in Cantho so we could make it to the floating market in the morning (around 8 am)Unlike the floating market near Bangkok, this wasn't a staged area for tourists. The river traffic bustled with boats stopping to buy fruits and vegetables to sell at markets. Robert commented that the cheap fruit we bought in town had trickled down through at least four sellers (and mark ups) before coming to us.
