Hello fun loving traveler, welcome to Thailand! The land of golden stupa's, amazing food and the best holiday you can imagine. My name is Vanna and for the last 20 years I have been walking and talking around Thailand with travelers like yourself. I've been all over Thailand with couples, families, tourgroups and schooltrips. I can say that I know my country and culture inside out and love to share many fun and amazing anekdotes with you. Before I changed my life and became a Thai tour guide I mainly worked for commercial companies. For almost 10 years I was the secretary of the General Manager for Maersk shipping company at the sales and marketing department. What I learned at Maersk was how to work and communicate with people from all over the world and because each culture has it's own traits, it was a great 'school of life' for me. After this I became supervisor for the famous Chao Praya Express boat company which runs public transportation along the main river of Bangkok. I got to know the company behind this mass transportation company and all the best spots at each pier. So I love to take my guests around Bangkok while using the express boat and tell them all the ins and outs of each spot and how it all works to get around Bangkok city. I love to play sports like tennis and in my free time explore some of the new restaurants, visit local markets for newly designed items and just talk with my friends and have a good time. If you have a special trip in mind or if you need suggestions for a great time in Thailand, just let me know and we can set up a great experience together. All my tours and trips are fully customizeable to your wishes and the time you have. I hope to see you and your friends in Bangkok soon.

Explore and learn about the ruins of Ayutthaya city and understand Thai history.
Overview of your Bangkok tour
To really understand Thailand and how it became what it is today, you have to visit the former capital of Ayutthaya. The ruin brick tempels are all that is left from the glory days of Thailand. While wondering around the Buddha statues and immense palaces that were contsructed by slaves and farmers, you will feel the grandeur of this ancient Kingdom. The wat Chai Wattanaram temple is located on teh Chao Praya riverbanks and is so well preserved it still sparks the imagination of ancient times. Nearby Thai Kings traded animal skins, gold, gem stones, herbs and much more with foreign countries like Holland, Japan and Portugal. The foundations of the city acted as a blueprint for Bangkok and you will know everything what happened before the capital switched from Ayutthaya to Bangkok. After this tour you will know why Thailand was never colonized by foreign powers and why we are so proud to be Thai. I'd like you to know what happened here historically and looking forward to meet you!
