The Bangkok Floating Market
Thailand should be on everyone’s list. And if you visit the markets, get a guide. They’ll get you the best deals, free samples and provide the local touch.

This was a real treat.

Thailand's "local touch" was that a fucking pun?

Yep, a lot of the boats use automobile motors.

I’m planning on visiting in China for three weeks during November and I’m definitely going to take a ferry to Thailand and explore!!

I would go there just for the chicks with dicks.

See? You spend all your time gay bashing any guy that dares post a selfie, and then go post something like this. The fuck.

Man, I would love to row up and order a few beers there!!

Bet there are a lot of fat fish in that there water.

Best place to catch flounder anywhere in the world is near the sewage outfalls.

4k indeed... not.

India: "We have a market so impractical a train drives through it". Thailand: "Hold my beer"

Are we not going to talk about all those fish being fed?
nickybny
Those were catfish about as long as my calf. And when you entered the market there were giant koy being fed by bottle.
ChickenFingerFingers
Eh. Most of the ones a tourist would find all sell the same shit.
nickybny
Which is why it pays to get a guide and not be surrounded by tourists.

Wherever u go please use the buddy system in Bangkok.. it’s insane reading the local newspaper sometimes...

Are we not gonna talk about the tentacle monster just under the surface right at the start? anyone? no? ok then!

Going soon, best place to get a guide?
nickybny
So I found a great guide from a local friend, but she also said there are a bunch of local guides who also run the Airbnb experiences
sym1
Which I imagine Airbnb has a huge surcharge for? Can you pm me the info of your guide? I’ll be there in April.

anyone have an actual youtube link, this is something i'd like to watch.

"Thailand should be on everyone’s list." Nope.

It should if you love animal cruelty!

True!

If you evaluate countries by the worst things they do, you’d never travel anywhere.

Great food, nice people, easy to get around, why not?

Wonderfull looks but so many tourist traps. Ask your guide for the real Thailand.
HEXADECIMAL
Lived there for a year, unscrupulous is the nicest way to put it.
zagibu
There are many traps, but they are not the tourists.

I'm so sick of traveling places & feeling like everyone is trying to rip me off. I need to avoid all tourist areas, I suppose. Never felt
ObliviousStranger
When I went to Vietnam for my wedding, the best feeling ever was being there with her side of the family and feeling like a local! I miss it
ThrowAwayAcct0000
that way in Europe or Japan. Definitely felt that way in Mexico, the Dominican Republic, and some parts of China (Beijing).
kjatar
If you get back to China, try to make it to Chengdu and hire a local guide to get you down towards Leshan. US consulate can recommend.
Chroven
in a lot of places tourism keeps the economy afloat. its a pretty big difference in mexico going from tourist area to not tourist area
ThrowAwayAcct0000
I don't mind tourism, I get it. But when everything feels like a scam, it sucks. You can't relax and enjoy the place.
WatDaPho
This, also the many 'custom tailors' they have too. Watch out for shady tuk tuk drivers.
Dougamer
Got caught by one in Vietnam. Asked if he could pick up his sister. WHY DID WE SAY YES? She was just a shitty tailor who stalked to 1/2
Dougamer
Sell her stuff. Every morning coming out of the hotel she'd be waiting to harass us to visit her stall. Ruined that leg of the trip :(

My father lives now in Thailand.. only European get bad deals lol..

Why's that?

If you have the money to vacation or expatriate to Thailand, you most likely can afford higher prices and are less streetwise.

I live in thailand. Learn a little bit of Thai. The best one is "Tao rai kon thai" (price for thai people) or learn how to say "I live here"
Zella111
Learning the language is best in most places. Locals feel like you're respecting them by to try to speak their language so they'll be fair.

Agreed. You can have almost the same experience kayaking the North River in Chicago.

But the the free and open exchange of disease is still the same, right?
