    Watching your Thai floating markets video brings me back all the memories from that day. It was awesome seeing the different markets with you. Even though we were a bit let down by the Damnoen Saduak Market, it was cool that we discovered the Tha Kha market on the other side. It was an incredible experience seeing how people actually live in the Thai countryside. Thanks for being such a great travel buddy and I can't wait to see where we go next!❤️❤️

    Despite the small let down on Damnoen Saduak Market we did make most out of our experience! Glad we could see the local Tha Kha market. Looking forward on what we will explore in our upcoming travels! ❤

    Atmosféra sa nedá ani porovnať 😊my sme mali ešte štastie, že sme mali pri sebe lokála. Počul som však už i o tom, že taxikár vyhodil ľudí kilometer od marketu na falošnom "móle" a tam pýtali 1000-2000 bahtov za loďku na osobu. Druhý vám určite odporúčam! I keď z loďky sa tam nenakupuje 😁 Ďakujeme!

    ​@@backpackerfelipe Very sorry for late reply. This is only floating market I saw but will do some research to a real floating market. I agree this floating market was probably great in the beginning, but in time it just turned into a big tourist trap selling extremely overpriced soveriners. Great channel you guys have 👍👍👍
