Wakeboarding Through Bangkok’s Floating Markets with Dominik Gührs

 

 

 

Dominik Gührs wakeboards through Bangkok's waterways and floating markets.

 

Who doesn't know that problem: you quickly have to get from point A to point B, but the roads are clogged with traffic. Luckily, Dominik Gührs knows the city of Bangkok in Thailand like the back of his hand, which is why he can easily ignore the traffic, ditch the tuk tuk, jump on his Wakeboard, and use Bangkok's waterways and floating markets, in order to get to his final destination on time. 

 

40 baht change on a thousand baht, was the tuk tuk pulling the tow rope? 

Danny MacAskill’s side kick.

I wonder how much of that lovely clean river water went in his mouth on every fall.

Superb video anyways..

The floating market will not be the only thing that floats out there !

I think I'd rather take my chances wakeboarding down a sewer tunnel. 

What amazes me more is he gave the Tuk-tuk driver 1'000 baht ......and the driver had change!...albeit 40 baht.

What tows the board? No wake from a tow boat visible. Nice video. I wonder how many klong dwellers he upset?

was he being towed by a low flying chopper??

Hope he has lots antibiotics for the lung infections from the water in his mouth, and antifungals for the rest of the cracks and crevices on his body

Great filming though

Great video.  I didn't see what was pulling him.

Red Bull no doubt paid well that day

Hope he got paid a lot of cash for this video - the diseases in those waterways are pretty nasty. 

That was an awesome video.

 

Must have taken a long time to shoot.

 

The tow system must have been a pulley system done in relatively small sections.

 

Agree, not sure I want to go down in that water.

 

Nice.
