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

Unseen Thailand travel adventure - Thale Noi in Phatthalung!
🔥 Thailand Village Life - • Village Life in Thaila...
Thale Noi (ทะเลน้อย) - Welcome to Phatthalung, Thailand, one of the most relaxing provinces in Thailand. People are cool, food is delicious, and there’s some spectacular off the beaten path things to do. Part of the reason why Phatthalung is a lesser visited province in Southern Thailand is because they don’t have an ocean coastline like most other Southern Thai provinces. However, they do have a huge lake - one of them being Thale Noi (ทะเลน้อย). Today we’re going on a boat tour of Thale Noi, and then I’ll give you a tour of our homestay, plus we’ll have a quick local Thai food dinner at the house.
Thale Noi tour - you’ll want to arrive between 6 - 7 am because in the morning is when you’ll see the pink and white lotus in full bloom. The lake is spectacular, so peaceful and calming, and so beautiful wich so much vegetation. Highlight recommended. Price - 450 THB ($15.07) per hour
During out time at in Phatthalung at Thale Noi (ทะเลน้อย), we stayed at Uncle Sanan Homestay (โฮมสเตย์ ลุงสนั่น). He’s quite a character and his house is traditional, old, made of wood, and full of antiques. Him and his wife are also great local cooks who cook Southern Thai food. Recommended for a night or two if you really want to learn about the Southern Thai food and culture of Phatthalung along the lake.
And so that wraps up this tour in Phatthalung. An amazing day and spectacular place - a really off the beaten path, unseen Thailand attraction.
📍 Uncle Sanan Homestay (โฮมสเตย์ ลุงสนั่น บ้านปากประ goo.gl/maps/smJvxMJXchw2N6nz8) - Price - 1,500 THB ($50.20) per night
Thank you very much for watching this video and hope you’re having a fantastic day!

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!

[@Basementjacks]

Well guys I don't know what else to say other than you better thank mark because he's so considerate for your typophobia. Not every KZbinr will remotely remember that.

[@Nunpi_Yisruayl]

Typhobia **scratching my head**

[@lschoenrank]

I had no idea that trypophobia was a thing, So then I guess that Surinam Toads would be a problem too?

[@lschoenrank]

@@Nunpi_Yisruayl It's just spelled wrong above. You want to look up "trypophobia".

[@IraqiCooking101]

I wanted to see it and be triggered

[@Seabacon346]

Lotus root is a HUGE trigger for me

[@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.

[@MC-ko2mx]

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

[@Jenny-hq5mw]

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!

I know I won't be alive when the time comes. I hope your son takes on your role. I thank you for all the years of great food. Best wishes.

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 👍🏾

Micah is so big now! This is wonderful. Looks to be quite an authentic experience. Can't wait to visit thailand myself.

[@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!

[@sappysamurai5170]

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.

[@pablopscjah]

The noise of the canoe's engine brings me nostalgic memories of trips on Amazonian rivers. Even in improvisation, the uncle has a lot in common with Brazilians. I laugh a lot at that part 🤣🤣🤣. I met your channel through a video from Belém you made. Your videos are better than many paid channels like Discovery. You should be on TV. Congratulations!!!👏👏
