Back in May 2025, during our trip to Vietnam, we visited one of the places that really captured my attention: the famous Cái Răng Floating Market (Chợ nổi Cái Răng) in the Mekong Delta.
With nearly 100 years of history, Cái Răng is one of the oldest and most famous floating markets in the region, and it is still operating today!
I realized I never posted any of these photos. While going through my photo folders today, I found them again and immediately remembered what an amazing experience this was.
Boats filled with tropical fruits, vegetables, local foods and vendors trading right on the river. This isn’t just something created for tourists, it is a tradition and a way of life that has been part of the Mekong Delta for generations.
The Cái Răng Floating Market was absolutely fascinating and definitely one of those experiences that made our trip to Vietnam so memorable.
