Phong Dien floating market is the priority oneWhen you arrive, weave around the sampan, have a cup of coffee, tea and enjoy the rowing sampan market where the local sell to local only. (about 10 local boats there, maybe 2 or 3, maybe nothings, please make sure you like the canals in Phong Dien, this is your tour. We don't think to call 10 boats as a "market"- this news updated from July 2024)

Suka sangat tour ni! Walaupun awal pagi, suasana sungguh tenang dan menyentuh hati. Danh sangat peramah dan banyak berkongsi kisah-kisah tempatan. Di Phong Dien, tak ramai boat, tapi kami menikmati pemandangan dan suasana pagi yang damai. Di pasar Cai Rang, saya cuba nanas segar — manis sangat! Kebun buah-buahan sangat cantik, dan bahagian rumah mi tu paling menarik. Tengok proses buat mi warna-warni, dan dapat rasa “mi pizza” buatan isteri tuan rumah. Seronok dan penuh kenangan!
This was not a tour for the crowds — and I loved that. Hannah was warm, funny and very knowledgeable. Phong Dien had only a few boats but it felt personal, not staged. The canoe-like boat we used was quiet and allowed us to enter small canals the big boats couldn’t. Cai Rang was livelier and we had a lovely pineapple while drifting. The noodle workshop with the local family was the highlight for me — watching them hand-pull the noodles and tasting their creations was amazing. Highly recommend if you want something different and less touristy.
