Family Boat Trip!! LOTUS LAKE + Homestay Thai Food! | Unseen Thailand, Thale Noi, Phatthalung

[@iamdopeboyfresh]

Mark has such a deep appreciation of food, culture, and nature. And that’s what makes him stand out! Thank you Mark!

[@MarkAbroad]

Thank you so much Ryan!

[@iamdopeboyfresh]

@@MarkAbroad I am such a big fan of yours! I watch all your videos. Thank you for sharing with us your experiences! Keep up the great videos! 🙂

[@lisagonzalez9693]

You're so respectful of people's feelings, not showing the lotus pod because of the fear/anxiety of some. Love all your videos!

[@HaggisVitae]

This is the first I’m hearing of a phobia of something with a lot of holes. Interesting. I’m sure there is a phobia for just about everything. I can’t watch him eating gooey animal skin or fat.

[@mstammyn]

I remember my trip to Phatthalung back in 2015. We drove from KL, Malaysia to Hatyai, Thailand (about 8 hours). Then drove from Hatyai to Phatthalung (about 2 hours). We stayed in Sri Pakpra Resort. My friends and I were the only foreigners at that resort. The hotel manager told us too that not many foreigners come to Phatthalung as there is nothing much to do 😅At this resort is where we can see the unique style of fishing - giant fish nets/rods. We took the same boat ride at this lake as well to see the lotus lake. It's really beautiful. I won't forget that roadtrip, I wish to go back again Phatthalung again!

Love how welcoming Uncle Sanan was, showing off everything in his home, down to his collection of spoons, and the grandfather clock.

[@shaneannalimpoos3319]

I love the content here in this channel of yours. I enjoy seeing you, your wife and son doing some vacation. Micah is growing so fast and Ying is still beautiful with that sweet smile of hers. What a happy and humble family! Keep safe always! ❤️❤️❤️

you're right it reminded me of the everglades in Florida.

That's the first thing that came to my mind! Florida's everglades or New Orleans. All are so beautiful!

Thank you for not showing the lotus seed pods!! I was bracing myself for it luckily you acknowledged us trypophobia sufferers and were considerate of our feelings! You are amazing! Your videos are what’s kept me going through these horrid times, we always look forward to seeing you explore beautiful Thailand. If anything, probably one of my favourite collections! Keep up the good work Mark!

[@Sweetlyfe]

Great video what a beautiful place, gorgeous wildlife and the flowering Lotus, and the food I’m so hungry now 😂

Just wow! What a beauty. You’re showcasing Thailand 🇹🇭 beautifully.

[@marlinherrera2204]

I love everything, uncle is very unique character, and a fixer 🚽🤣 - very humble. Remembered living in kind of place but is where more fun you have the most, climbing trees, and going tree to tree just like a little 🐒, eating the fruit in season. This trip brought me to so many memories.

[@DaSilencer78]

Dude, you're the man! I sincerely mean that. You seem like an amazing person and a wonderful Dad. I love that you give us the chance to share your experience with your family eating delicious food and places you travel too. You're channel rocks "WOW" 😁

[@supreeyakritsaneephaiboon2304]

My husband and I really enjoy all your videos! And we liked this family adventure and home stay. Thanx!

[@asap6100]

I did this a year ago. it was incredible! I took the wooden boat too. They take you out on the lake and then take you to a location away from other tourists, stop the boat and the driver let’s you just meditate and take it all In (endless beauty of a lake filled with lotuses). Highly recommend, but keep in mind it’s seasonal and best to go early morning when the lotuses are just awakening and open up and the sun rising. Love Thailand and many of the people!

[@jbgytj]

Absolutely beautiful scenery and great drone shots. It is wonderful that Mark promotes local homestays. This one looks really unique. Hope that Uncle gets lots of guests in the future.

[@anggi1313]

I love how the Uncle asked Mark to filmed his wife. What a character...😂

Mark being considerate of those with a phobia was so thoughtful. Because at first I was like what? He can’t show it? Then he explained why. Got it now lol 👍🏾

Another amazing video. The boat trip was amazing so much natural beauty. Uncle's home is interesting and great. The shower areas reminds me of when I made my first visit to the Caribbean probably 30 years ago the setup of the showers was similar. Also the mosquito nets in the bedroom.

Love the lotus lake with wildlife it’s stunning I would take so many macro shots of the lotus flower!

[@eduardochavacano]

That is not lotus. Lotus grows on mud. That is a water lily. Lotus are more exotic. Common in Buddhist countries though. Lotus is 300 times more beautiful than a water lily. And I’m crazy about flowers.
