(Can Tho, November 21) – Amidst the cool and refreshing breeze of the early morning in the Mekong Delta, Mekong Smile was honored to welcome and accompany the high-level delegation from the Southeast Asian Esports Federation (SEAEF) on a journey to explore the unique river culture at Cai Rang Floating Market.
From the Digital Arena to the Charming Rivers
Putting aside the high-tension matches and strategic meetings regarding the development of regional Esports, the members of SEAEF enjoyed a wonderful, relaxing morning at Cai Rang Floating Market. This trip was not merely a break, but a meaningful opportunity for international delegates to understand the rustic and warm-hearted beauty of the land and people of Tay Do (Can Tho).
From the break of dawn, the professional tour guide team from Mekong Smile was present, having meticulously prepared everything from transportation to safety equipment, ensuring the most comfortable experience for the delegation.

Experiencing the “Specialties” of the Floating Market
As the Mekong Smile tourist boat cut through the waves into the center of the floating market, the distinguished guests were amazed by the characteristic bustling scene. Hundreds of boats, large and small, anchored close together. The sound of engines mixing with the calls of traders created a vibrant symphony of river life.
Under the dedicated guidance of Mekong Smile, the SEAEF delegation experienced:
- Understanding the “Cây Bẹo” Culture: Learning about the unique “bamboo advertising pole” method—”what you hang is what you sell”—a distinct feature of the Western river region.
- Dining on the River: Nothing is more exciting than the sensation of bobbing on the water while enjoying a hot bowl of Hu Tieu (noodle soup) and a rich, flavorful glass of Vietnamese iced coffee.
- Tasting the Sweetness of Alluvium: Platters of fresh, locally harvested fruits (pineapple, mango, watermelon…) were served right on the boat, bringing freshness and satisfaction to the international diners.
