Artificial floating market is alright
After reading the reviews I see this was a tourist trap all along. I went on a Klook tour and this was a spot on the tour to see the floating market. The cost was already part of your and there’s shops. There was an elephant zoo place I asked if the elephants and ani Al’s are treated humanely and the tour guide said yes. I decided not to go to elephants and tigers zoo. If they are treated humanely or not I won’t know but this pace was average to me.
