✨ ✨ ✨ ✨ ✨ ✨ ✨✨ ✨ ✨ Sawaddee, khrub,¹ welcome to 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝. My name is 𝐒𝐰𝐚𝐢 [𝚜𝚊̀.𝚠ǎ𝚒ː] or ไสว in Thai language. After graduating from university several decades ago, I didn't settle on a specific career path right away. Instead, I worked in a wide range of fields, which allowed me to build a varied background. I started as a youth camp coordinator, followed by seven years of teaching at a private school, and later took on contract roles in operations administration, office management, and academic institutions. However, in the end, none of those pursuits felt like the right fit for me. Employment at a travel agency initially seemed quite well-suited to my preferences, but I soon realized its repetitive nature restricted me to a typical desk-bound routine. This inspired me to leave the office behind to pursue a life of discovery. I am passionately drawn to city exploration, seeking out the rich diversity and energy of dynamic lifestyles including urban wandering, shopping, and wellness, alongside outdoor adventures like hiking, camping, and scuba diving. Following an intentional career shift, I transitioned into my calling as a professional tour guide.² In this role, I connect deeply with history, folklore, traditions, natural parks, and national heritage sites, as I love sharing stories that shape the country's identity. Currently, I hold a nationwide tourism license² as an independent guide and local travel specialist, which completely fulfills my true purpose. My journey as a guide begins in the heart of the country. Born, raised, and educated in Bangkok, I am proud to call this city home. I frequently take solo trips to enrich my regional expertise, exploring and revisiting hidden gems as well as renowned attractions to ensure my insights remain impeccably current. These firsthand experiences have made me thoroughly familiar with the city and its surrounding areas, whether navigating on foot or using practical modes of transport such as buses, trains, boats, taxis, or private vehicles. Beyond Bangkok, I have traversed every province in the country, occasionally volunteering for community projects, supporting disaster relief, or donating supplies to remote villages and temples. In all my travels throughout many distinct regions, I witness how they continue to reveal breathtaking wonders and enduring charm, alongside immersive activities and vibrant experiences across their contrasting landscapes. Ultimately, it is my great pleasure to welcome you, your family, and your companions as my honored guests to this warm and captivating land, 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝. ✨ ✨ ✨ ✨ ✨ ✨ ✨✨ ✨ ✨ ☆ 𝐁𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 ☆ 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬 ☆ 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐬 ➊ Graduation from Chulalongkorn University ⇨ CUAA : 220200007 ➋ Tourism Certificate from Faculty of Archaeology at Silpakorn University. ⇨ 2/1994 ➌ Nationwide Tourism License by Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) ⇨ Tour Guide License No.1-034761² ➍ Life membership of Professional Tourist Guide Association of Thailand (PGAT) ⇨ Registration No.7753 ➎ National Guide of the Arts of the Kingdom ⇨ License No.2194 ➏ Complete standard course of CPR as well as First Aid and Rescue from Thai Red Cross Society ⇨ Registration No.5900033 ➐ Scuba Diving from PADI ⇨ License No.1512AZ3920 ➑ Attended and participated in exhibitions and conventions across 51 countries worldwide. ⇨ Thailand's first Aussie Specialist from Australian Tourism Commission (ATC) in 2001 ⇨ Asia’s first Kiwi Specialist from New Zealand Tourism Board (NZTB) in 2003 ⇨ Zero-gravity Activity or a ZERO-G flight (G-FORCE ONE) to float mid-air weightlessly, operated by Space Adventure Ltd. in 2004 ✨ ✨ ✨ ✨ ✨ ✨ ✨✨ ✨ ✨ ☆ 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐈𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 : ⇨ Every tour listing displays total 𝐏𝐑𝐈𝐂𝐈𝐍𝐆 and real-time 𝐀𝐕𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐀𝐁𝐈𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐘.

Very good, very patient and very very honest. We did not get a lunch that was covered in original schedule, he paid back without our asking for it. It is very rare & much appreciated. His English is good, he is patient with tourist and gives a good explanation as to were we were & what we were visiting. he went out of his way to accommodate our requests & stayed extra hours without complaint or charge. we liked him very much.

Our group had Swai for a tour from our cruise port into Bangkok. From the moment he picked us up, he was all about the details. He had special snacks for us and made sure that we made drink stops so that we were always comfortable. There is much traffic to manage in this trip but Swai again was the utmost host. He bought fried bananas for us to share from street vendors and shared details of Thailand while we traveled along.
