With and Without Bootstrap - 5.3.x

Jun 2024

Image on the Left

If you are using Bootstrap you can use float-start on the image element and that will do the trick. me-3 is optional. This is using just one class.

<img src="logo.png" class="float-start me-3" alt="">
<div>Lorem ipsum  ...</div>

<!-- without Bootstrap -->
<img src="logo.png" style="float:left;margin-right:1rem" alt="">
<div>Lorem ipsum  ...</div>

Output

enter image description here

Image on the right

<img src="logo.png" class="float-end ms-3" alt="">
<div>Lorem ipsum  ...</div>

<!-- without Bootstrap -->
<img src="logo.png" style="float:right;margin-left:1rem" alt="">
<div>Lorem ipsum  ...</div>

Output

enter image description here

Try following code:

        .my-image{
            width: -webkit-fill-available;
            padding-top: 10px;
            padding-left: 6px;
            padding-right: 6px;
        }
        
    <div style="width:100%;">
        <div style="float: right;width: 40%;">
            <img class='my-image' src="https://via.placeholder.com/150/92c952">

I was trying to achieve this type of result with the least amount of code possible. This is what worked for me.

#wrap {
    margin: 3em 8em;
}
.left {
    float: left;
    margin-right: 1.5em;
}
.right {
    float: right;
    margin-left: 1em;
}
p {
    margin-bottom: 2.5em;
    overflow: hidden; /* this is what keep the <p> from wrapping */
}
p:last-child {
    overflow: visible; /* this is an example of the browser default */
}
<div id="wrap">

Addition to BeNdErR's answer:
The "other TEXT" element should have float:none, like: 

    <div style="width:100%;">
        <div style="float:left;width:30%; background:red;">...something something something  random text</div>
        <div style="float:none; background:yellow;"> text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text  </div>
    </div>

With CSS Shapes you can go one step further than just float text around a rectangular image.

You can actually wrap text such that it takes the shape of the edge of the image or polygon that you are wrapping it around.

DEMO FIDDLE (Currently working on webkit - caniuse)

.oval {
  width: 400px;
  height: 250px;
  color: #111;
  border-radius: 50%;
  text-align: center;
  font-size: 90px;
  float: left;
  shape-outside: ellipse();
  padding: 10px;
  background-color: MediumPurple;
  background-clip: content-box;
}
span {
  padding-top: 70px;
  display: inline-block;
}
<div class="oval"><span>PHP</span>
</div>
<p>Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has
  survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing
  software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley

If the image size is variable or the design is responsive, in addition to wrapping the text, you can set a min width for the paragraph to avoid it to become too narrow.
Give an invisible CSS pseudo-element with the desired minimum paragraph width. If there isn't enough space to fit this pseudo-element, then it will be pushed down underneath the image, taking the paragraph with it.

#container:before {
  content: ' ';
  display: table;
  width: 10em;    /* Min width required */
}
#floated{
    float: left;
    width: 150px;
    background: red;
}

you have to float your image container as follows:

HTML

<div id="container">
    <div id="floated">...some other random text</div>
    ...
    some random text
    ...
</div>

CSS

#container{
    width: 400px;
    background: yellow;
}
#floated{
    float: left;
    width: 150px;
    background: red;
}
