The Cai Rang Floating Market is one of the largest of its kind throughout the Mekong Delta in Southern Vietnam. Despite having gained such knowledge from a brief pre-trip research I wasn’t expecting much when I slumbered my way onto the tour boatearly in the morning to visit the place. Back home in Thailand I have seen too many floating markets already.But once I made it to Cai Rang, I was wide awake with thrill.This is different, very different.First of all, the Can Tho River, the venue of the floating market, is much larger than the canals where Thai floating markets are located. This river, which is filled with loaded vessels of various sizes, is about 130m wide. (For comparison, the Chao Phraya at Taksin Bridge measures about 198m in width.)
