Surprising excursion - Superb excursion, incredible beauty, authentic Thailand, absolutely fresh market

Interesting Lotus pond boat ride - Red Lotus pond where you can take a boat ride and hire a drone to take pictures. Reasonably priced as that is the main attraction there. Besides that there is a nice Thai restaurant and many other food stalls and tourist shops . You can spend 2-3 hours easily

It is what you make if it! Be assertive, know what you want & smile as you ask for it ! - My Driver was fantastic, Sporty great guy,who was enthusiastic & personable. I was fortunate to have him. I would have been lost without him .Red Lotus, is a photo opportunity. But it needs some polishing.. it’s crude. I chose to wear a Thai costume but it was all very hurried & amateur & pushy. It could be so much more with just a bit of care & finessing.it wasn’t busy so there was no reason to rush. And they have a dressing room filled with costumes & accessories… the daughter of the owner is young, charming.. but doesn’t understand customer service. Or that customers come for the experience ,cultural ceremony & tradition. & want to feel beautiful. Once in the boat you are at the mercy of the boat driver to be your photographer/ pose guide… the drone shots could be amazing if before they show you samples of what you can do & emulate those..I’m petite & couldn’t get comfortable so all my photos laying in the boat are awkward.. again with just a bit more guidance/ care.. it could have been fantastic. & the shoot straight into the sun so my eyes are watering, I’m squinting… so not good. On the property there are other photo ops.. just go do them .. tip one them to take your pictures. A swing, a heart a moon .. but you have to go find them! Everyone is kind, happy but if you want amazing photos you have to be assertive & push for what you want .. Also this is meant for a min of 2 people & as a solo traveler I just paid double instead .. I should have gotten double the photos. The upsell lotus lunch is beautiful & delicious… but I should have done that first then photos so I could observe the process & had a beer .. to take it all in.
