Helpfulness
This is the Mekong Delta and anything you can get on dry land, you can find out on the water too. Having a boat in the region is a huge advantage for any industrious local who can afford to buy items he can then sell to those less fortunate (or tourists!) out on the water.
What to buy: Fruits and vegetables seem to predominate the market scene but you can find just about anything. Drink and snack vendors are not just serving tourists either. Locals need a drink too.
