[@91espen]

wow what a beautiful video! i subscribed to you after watching it :) Is there a lot of tourist in these golden triangle towns? And do any of the offers party/night life?

[@worldwildhearts]

Thank you! Yes the Golden Triangle towns receive most tourists. At least during the day time you can expect lots of day trippers. For nightlife, maybe Como City would be better as it’s bigger in size and more people living there? The Golden Triangle towns get really quiet in the evenings

[@packratcouple]

What month was this taken? We like to see what the crowds are like if it happens to be the same month we are going to

[@jinc3668]

Any idea if lake Como rains a lot in late October? We will be visiting in late October for 5 days.

[@worldwildhearts]

It definitely might! Hard to say… it’s close to the mountains so you can expect anything 😅
