This was something we saw on a Vietnam YouTube video as a must do. Sadly it was a little overated as there were more tourists boats that market boats. It was nice to see how the locals live but as Vietnam modernises markets like this will soon be a thing of the past. Our guide explained that much of the farm land has been bought up by multi national companies with country people moving to the city in the hope of a better life for thier children. The floating market is more of a tourists event as opposed to real live Vietnam.

Down the Chonknee Canal we went ....longest fresh water body in Asia. The floating villages, people actually living in boats and selling fresh fruits and vegetables and all other household essentials from their boats. It was a great experience, the fruits which we bought and ate were extremely tasty and fresh and perhaps a mite cheaper than at the markets. One of the high points of our total SE Asia experience.
