The floating market, I think, is quite a new concept for Western visitors. The sellers instead of selling goods in a fixed store, do it on the boat at the end of Tam Coc boat tour in order that after the long journey, tourists can drink and eat a bit or buy local souvenirs for their relatives.

To come here and buy goods, every day, they have to start at Tam Coc ferry and then ride a boat through 3 caves. After overcoming Ba cave ( cave 3), they stop on the edge of the river. Whenever the boat taking visitors passing through, they ride the boat in the middle and offer their products.
