The market in Sa Dec, Dong Thap Province


The town of Sa Dec with 118,000 inhabitants and their daily market is our next stop.  Apparently this market goes 360 days a year.  It’s incredibly busy and crowded with many stalls and everything there for food shopping needs.  Like Cambodia, shopping a couple of times during the day is the norm.

The walking area in the market is shared with motorbikes and we ease our way along enjoying the neatly laid out shopping areas.

An old French building that was part of a love story movie

Laid out for sale

All ready for customers


Rice anyone?

More rice selection

Cleaning the fish

The closest thing to sardines


Our only indulgence is buying a peaked rattan hat that will suit us well when we plant the paddy fields at the cottage, ha!

Once again the French influence is apparent with the road grid set up and some of the old colonial buildings.
