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. Vanna. - Bachelor degree from Ramkhamhaeng University major in History & Tourism. - Secretary to General Manager for Maersk Shipping company in Bangkok, Thailand. - Worked for the Chao Praya Express Boat company that runs the main public transportation line along the main river of Bangkok. You can think of this as a buscompany on the river :-) - Thai Tourism Official Guide Lisence. - No restrictions as a guide.

I cannot recommend Auntie Wana highly enough. Spending the day exploring Bangkok with her was one of the most memorable parts of my entire trip. From the moment we met, it was clear that auntie isn’t just a guide, she’s someone who genuinely cares about the people she meets. She has an incredible knowledge of Bangkok, its history, culture, and hidden corners, and she seems to know everyone everywhere we went. Every stop came with fascinating stories, local insight, and little details you simply wouldn’t discover on your own. What really stood out to me, though, was her kindness and generosity. I had a small issue with my card during the day and was worried about cash, and auntie Wana immediately stepped in and paid for things without hesitation. She simply smiled and said, “Don’t worry, karma will come back. You can come back next year with your family.” That moment said everything about her character. She embodies the warmth and compassion that people often associate with the Buddhist spirit. Being guided by her felt less like a tour and more like being shown around the city by a thoughtful family who truly loves where she lives. If you want to see Bangkok through the eyes of someone who knows it deeply and cares about sharing it with you, auntie Wana is the person to go with. I would recommend her to anyone visiting the city. Thank you, auntie. I will absolutely be back.

We had an amazing day! Vanna was not only an exceptional tour guide with a wealth of information, she was a wonderful lady with a love of the work she does, showing visitors all the sites of Bangkok and making sure your expectations for the day were met. We could not have asked for a better guide. Our driver was wonderful too. We were well taken care of by both during transportation and touring. A truly memorable day.

Vanna met our private group of 4 as we disembarked from our cruise ship. Vanna was very welcoming and our vehicle and driver was first class. She checked we were happy with our itinerary and if we wanted to make any changes! Vanna was informative and very caring, treating us to local cuisine! Always ready with wet wipes, a real mother figure! Thank you for our trip Vanna, you made it very memorable!

Vanna is exceptional. She has great insights to the history, community and people of Thailand. Her embrace of the country is great and her sharing was world class. I would highly recommend Vanna to anyone who would ask.

We chose a private tour in Bangkok rather than a big tour on a bus provided by Viking. Having a private driver and a private guide was ideal. Experiencing the high tourist attractions in a group of 3 people with Vanna was perfect. I highly recommend high energy Vanna ��

Your Pattaya tour itinerary

In the morning your driver will be ready to take you to Bangkok. When you meet him he will call me to say hello to you and to talk a little bit. Arrive in Bangkok 2, 5 hours later at our first to visit site where I will meet you. After a great day of exploring your favorite temples, taste the best food and get a feeling of the real Thai life my driver will bring you back to the port in time for your departure that day. If your ship stays overnight at the port and you have 2 days time you can also book my 2 days shore excursion to Bangkok and stay overnight in the city so you can enjoy Bangkok by night and some more amazing places in Bangkok on the secon day. Or I can drive back to the port with you and the next day we can explore many fun places nearby the port and Pattaya resort town. Please check out my 2 days Laem Chabang shore excurions for the details.
