This is where locals come to do their shopping, and it's interesting simply to walk around. The market is tidily divided into areas for dry goods, fresh fruit, fish and meat, and clothing. Keen cooks can stock up on inexpensive fish paste and sauce, and there are a few stalls serving steaming bowls of pho and banh canh, a soup with thick noodles made from tapioca flour. All manner of fruit is available here, with some vendors selling sliced mangos ready to go in a plastic bag.

Setting up just before sunset, the night market is an interesting place to explore and shop for souvenirs, such as shells, handicrafts, and wooden boats. Expect to bargain for souvenirs, but not for food. The jetty nearby and the Dinh Ba pagoda are popular spots for locals to watch the sunset. Avoid the pearls; they're low-quality imports, not genuine Phu Quoc pearls.

On An Binh island in Vinh Long, about an hour and 15 minutes' drive from Cai Be, is this wonderful social enterprise shop. Started by Lily Phan and her aunt Lan To, Viet Artisans work with local woman to make notebooks, postcards, bags, and accessories. The women get job security, a living wage, a safe working environment, and scholarships for their children. You can come here to shop and to try your hand at making your own notebooks and postcards. With advance notice, you can eat at Viet Artisans, tucking in to delicious homemade food like banh xeo, a rice flour crêpe filled with bean sprouts, sprink, pork, and vegetables (a vegetarian version is available).

With its boat-shape showroom, this is considered the best place on the island for genuinely local cultured seawater pearls (rather than imported Chinese freshwater pearls). If you're in the market for pearls, avoid anything offered at the local markets and make your way here.
