Marco, bro, you're a legend! I love your videos mate. I live about 20 mins away from that floating market and you couldn't drag me there for any sum. I just can't stand those crowded, rip-off tourist traps, but good on you for taking one for the team. I see old mate boat driver didn't bother opening his Chang. He would've taken it back to the vendor for a refund later. Next time, crack it open for him!
Thanks bro!! Haha I only went there because it was organised by my friend Chris (UA-camr) But you are correct, biggest scammers there … if he refunded that beer that is atrocious 😂
Nahhh! That snake guy started it off with a massive rip off price. That wasn't cool. Glad you didn't pay that just to have a picture taken with a snake!
Nice video Marco, just a reminder for everyone, you are not allowed to take any Buddha Figures out of Thailand and the animal products like the Croc heads or belts could land you in a heap of problems if they are listed in the Washington Animal Trafficking Act.
@@marcoroams it's illegal to buy Buddha statues as souvenirs in Thailand. This is because making Buddha statues and other related items is actually a job for monks and not for laymen. It's also a crime to export any Buddha statue from Thailand. This is also to prevent looting of Shrines and Temples.
Just because a street vendor says it is ok and legal, does not make it so ... they just want to make some money off you and don't care about the consequences you may face.
Stop eating that pre-cooked meat from vendors, bro. You put yourself at risk of serious food poisoning. I've seen it happen, and as a chef for the last 20 years I know how massively risky it is to eat random unchilled meat like that. Even if they reheat it it does not lessen the risk.
Alright man I’ll take that on board … I find that everything in Asia is like that. I just assumed that the grill would heat out all the bad stuff… I’ve been pretty lucky then I must say 😅
This floating market looks miles better than the Pattaya one but why can't they clean up the water? BTW, I was told years ago when abroad to never accept gifts from strangers in case there was contraband hidden in them and maybe the tourists there are just being super cautious as Thailand has some serious draconian laws and penalties if caught for that kind of thing. Loving the shirt you are rocking, good find!
So tourist! Not in line with my common vlogs, but decided to show off a few things in Thailand tourist related this time … What can I say! I’m a variety channel
Aww Marco. I can tell you’ve been more annoyed and honest with your feelings than your earlier blogs. Maybe you know the real tourism scams in Thailand and it’s pissing you off.
Lol yeah, that snake guy is of the most dishonest guys I’ve met, acting so friendly and pretending to be sad when I didn’t want to pay his price … serial conman
Yes I’ll probably do one in about 3 days when I finish my 8 days of vlogging! Thanks for the idea 😁 What time works for you? Seeing as you suggested it
Come on Marco 100 baht for a beer…..don’t let them scam you like that, even if it’s just for the vlog your making not good especially when most bars charge 69 baht
Good old snake oil salesman, next time take an Aussie Eastern Brown or Tiger Snake for him to hang around his neck, make sure you tell him they are safe...lol Everyone knows that the tourist traps in Thailand are there to rip you off, but as long as you only spend what you are prepared to lose its still an interesting experience. Next video ....hire a jetski, then you will see major rip-offs 😞
5 S Sept 23 - husband back from a couple days off - seem like everyone says 100 "Bot" ( excuse the spelling - i'll find the correct spelling later ) As long as the snake is yellow - it seems some what safe. ??
7:33 - 2500 THB for a photo with a snake in Bangkok Floating Market and 100 THB for it in Pattaya (in @CollinAbroadcast latest video - "Sin City Asia Fake Market Spree!" at 27:08)
At reptile expos here in BC a photo with a python is around the same price. Insane. I have a California King snake and I let people hold him for free haha. Lady at the satay shop said pork. Not cock. Lolol cool market! The murky brown water looks a lot like the river in Winnipeg where I grew up. Its called the red river, it looks brown like that and the reason is because the local mines discharged their ore processing wastes into the river which turns the water brown or red. Could be the same for this one....or just pollution 😂

Maybe the girl was included for 72$ Lol 😂 love your vids bro 😎
Lol you would think so …
Nahhh! That snake guy started it off with a massive rip off price. That wasn't cool. Glad you didn't pay that just to have a picture taken with a snake!
Bloody snake oil salesman 😂
I would feel miserable if I need to earn my money like this
First, lol. Keep up the great work, Mark! Did I mention that I'm first? 😂
Haha I am glad you are! 🏆
Bruh, that floating market was interesting. But, the snake oil dude was not cool. Keep posting these awesome videos! 🙏🏼😁
Yeah bro, who the hell does that when they know a UA-camr is vlogging … so fvcking dumb 😂
@@marcoroams how does he think he can get away with that since vloggers are “smarter than the average bear!” 🤣😂
2:23 you cant no beer your the driver 😂😂😂 but you can drive and drink some beer men believe my 😂
😁😁😁
Good vlog Marco! I chuckled at that pop corn rating 😂😂 enjoy your travel!
Hahaha can’t lie about it 😂
Love that plant shirt on you! 🪴
Hey marco when did you upload malaysia video?
Hey buddy! I won’t be uploading Malaysia videos for about a month,
But the good news is there will be 6 weeks worth 😁🇲🇾
That snake guy is the reason people dont take your key ring at touristy place.😂😂😂
Haha so true!
looks a bit crazy there lol but ya can tell ya enjoying it it reminds me of cairo market the haggling was the fun part
Haha I actually enjoyed it .. playing around with the locals
I’ll let you take pictures with my crocodile FOR FREE or my snakes. Which are way better looking imo 😅
Haha thank you!
Dude!! a floating bar?! Awesome!!! travel safe my friend!! i love the shirt btw
Haha so good! I would have got a beer if I didn’t have so many leading up to it
@@marcoroams 🤣 !! I know what you mean, it's 11AM eastern canada, 8th beer today, so sad and yet funny! Travel safe my friend.
The bbq on the boat!!
Insane bro
How much did it cost to get onto the boat ? Did you tip the boat man ?
Unsure and I bought a beer for him
That is a crazy price for the snake, good choice bro, That was cool to see Chris and Gladys sitting in the other boat fun.
Bro, I think it's great that this time you didn't consume alcohol but only bought it for the captain of the boat.
Your videos are the best ❤
that’s crazy expensive lol. even if it’s free, i wouldn’t hold their snake.
Nice video Marco, just a reminder for everyone, you are not allowed to take any Buddha Figures out of Thailand and the animal products like the Croc heads or belts could land you in a heap of problems if they are listed in the Washington Animal Trafficking Act.
Good info mate!
Yeah I understand the animal part, however the Buddha thing surprises me… is that because it’s wood? Or other reasons?
@@marcoroams it's illegal to buy Buddha statues as souvenirs in Thailand. This is because making Buddha statues and other related items is actually a job for monks and not for laymen.

That’s crazy, you would think it would be more regulated and they would have a bit more respect and follow their own countries rules customs.
animal products are not allowed for sure, but like smaller buddha statues or masks wouldn't be a problem :)
Yooo this was cool!!
Cheers my man

13:50 - you've purchased the lady herself :D
Great video brother
# 5 Thanks for the river trip, i'm getting my vacation for free - except what Comcast is charging me.
Thay same snake was there when i went there 9 years ago hahahahaha
Haha the million dollar snake! Or vendor …
lol a picture with the snake is at most $10 usd. But man that girl was gorgeous
Haha she was! She seemed very nice 😊
Cool. Really like your UA-cam videos. Very interesting. 🙂
Thank you 🙏🏽
@@marcoroams yeah. I like the markets.
Bring that gift back for me 😂
Good Job bro fun as usual.
Thanks buddy! Hope you have been well 🙏🏽
Your all vlog originalality base, true camera.
16:49 he got da Yuba. haha.
Lol what was he on about?!
Dont you get it? The market is flooding and not the tourist. Its not called the flooding tourist. 😂
I wanna try that floating marco place ahah
Haha I need to open it!
That turned out to be a tourist boot ride 😮
So tourist! Not in line with my common vlogs, but decided to show off a few things in Thailand tourist related this time …
What can I say! I’m a variety channel
That’s pork, Marco 😂
# 3 is the Thi money plastic like in Canada ??
Good video ❤❤
Love your green shirt. Suit you very well
Nice market!!! That snake guy was definitely a rip off.
Keep safe always brother ♥ 😊
Thanks bro!!

Marco please would you do a live q and a
Yes I’ll probably do one in about 3 days when I finish my 8 days of vlogging!
Thanks for the idea 😁
What time works for you? Seeing as you suggested it
Set a good schedule time bro remember us 🇬🇧 viewers for time 🤣love ya content man
I don’t think the floating market concept is practical frankly speaking but its a good experience
Yeah it’s odd but I like to try stuff
Yes this is the one ,,, ❤
I'd pay him 2500 baht for a photo with the snake and a "long-time" with the bird...
She said pork 😂
That looks like a painful experience. No thank you.
😂😂😂
my guess is they think your trying to sell to them. not give as a gift...
# 4 time 16:58 That is one huge motor for that boat.
Chris at the end.
amazing
Bro, the whole place is a rip off. It’s actually a made up floating market to attract tourists.
Yeah bro! I don’t think the locals would go there 😂
Come on Marco 100 baht for a beer…..don’t let them scam you like that, even if it’s just for the vlog your making not good especially when most bars charge 69 baht
I know you’re right ….
But then when I say something the people in the comments say “he’s a hard worker give him what he’s wants … you tight ass” haha
@@marcoroams you’re your own man bud, don’t worry about what others say or think about you and dictate your life …..$&@€ them!
Good old snake oil salesman, next time take an Aussie Eastern Brown or Tiger Snake for him to hang around his neck, make sure you tell him they are safe...lol
Everyone knows that the tourist traps in Thailand are there to rip you off, but as long as you only spend what you are prepared to lose its still an interesting experience.
Next video ....hire a jetski, then you will see major rip-offs 😞
Thank god you didn’t accomplish. Remember you are a tourist, be bold to stick with your decision
Okay
I remember getting scolded by the old man to put our hands inside 😂 you make me miss Thailand so much, one of my best travel was exploring Thailand!
Smart tourist dont buy anything you cant use
Too true!!
NEVER kiss any animal that is NOT YOURS!!
Hahaha why?
@@marcoroams Their WILD ANIMALS that do NOT know you or your smell
5 S Sept 23 - husband back from a couple days off - seem like everyone says 100 "Bot" ( excuse the spelling - i'll find

ขายของโคตแพงเอาเปรียบฝรั่งเกินไป
Yeah complete rip off!
That girls pretty attractive 6:34
Haha yep
such a rip-off price for that snake photo... its disgusting...
Especially on camera’ what a joke
@@marcoroams So why did you tip that shyster then for just "having a look"? That made you look weak, Marco.

72$ บ้าจริงๆ😮😮
1/10 🤣🤣
I like to be honest!! 😎
