Started alone. Leaving legendary. (Source: Internet)Will I be the only solo traveler?
Never – 70–80 % are solo.
Is it safe for solo females?
Yes – small boats, professional guides, 98 % women travelers feel completely safe.
Best time for floating markets?
Sunrise (5:30–8 AM) – markets peak then fade.
Private boat available?
Yes – upgrade for $20–$50/person.
Can I do it independently?
Possible but 3× the cost and crowded boats – group tour is better value.
