As we do not have a appointed tour guide and bus driver, thus all tourists with different package of tour are mixed together in few buses and sharing a same tour guide! Some of them taking  3D2N tour, 2D1N tour and 1D trip like us.Anyway, our destination is Mekong Delta floating market!

The boat arrived quickly and off we went along the Mekong river, visiting the village to see they live along the river. But not much of activities at the floating market because it was too late for the business hour! All of the seller and buyer left the market! If you want to see all the action in the market, advisable to stay there over night so you can be there early in the morning for river market action!
