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.

Overview of your Bangkok tour

If you love to explore Bangkok like a local and engage in century old traditions and culture, this is your wake up tour and introduction to Buddhist life. At 7 am we will meet at a secret place where I will bring you to the local Buddhist monks and together we will give their morning alms (food and offerings). I will teach you how to do this properly and what it all means for the monks, Thai people and for you. After this we will take a local train for a short ride and get of nearby one of the hidden secret temples in Bangkok. Not many people visit the magnificent Pan Nam temple as it's still a bit unknown. The beauty of this hidden gem is stunning. A private longtail boat will take us along the ancient canals of the Venice of the east where you see locals wake up and get ready for their new day. The last stop will be at the Holy Rosemary church and the surrounding area. At this old Portugese settlement you will relive how the first Western tradesmen set up their business 400 years ago.
