✨ ✨ ✨ ✨ ✨ ✨ ✨✨ ✨ ✨ 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.

Swai was a perfect guide. He show us all in the easy way. He response all our questions. He is very friendly and flexible. We really recommend Swai.
You will not be disappointed! Swai was an amazing guide that did all he could to know only show us the sites, but make 3 teens enjoy it! I highly recommend Swai. We spend 2 days with him during our port stay and he made it an unforgettable trip. We did a ton, and hit almost every possible site and he made the entire family fall in love with Thailand.
Simon engaged our family of 6 (with teens) with interesting stories and facts, keeping everyone's attention on both long days. We truly enjoyed his hospitality and the way he brought Thailand alive for our family. Along the way, he attended to our every need and made sure we were enjoying each experience. We left some art we purchased in the van and he called me and came back to give it to us on the ship. He is a caring and wonderful man that will take care of you during your stay in Thailand.
On time! Thank you for taking care of my family as I wasnt able to go. They enjoyed their time in BKK! Thank you!
Our group of 4 adults used the services of Swai and a very nice driver (sorry, cannot remember his name) for transportation from a hotel in Bangkok to our cruise ship port at Laem Chabang. They arrived for pick-up on time despite high traffic for a Bangkok holiday. Swai worked with us to plan an itinerary of attractions along the way that we liked, and adjusted it as needed when it started to rain. Swai's English was good and his humor was appreciated. Highly recommend!
I'd rate Swai a 6 out of 5. Fantastic guide!
𝙂𝙪𝙞𝙙𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝘾𝙖𝙧 ::: This is just a tentative idea ::: ⇨ After meeting up, transfer from Bangkok. It's about a two-hour drive. ⇨ Visit Royal Grand Palace. The palace was built in 1782 by King Rama I to serve as the official residence of the Thai King and royal families. The complex also includes the Temple of the Emerald Buddha (or Wat Phra Kaew), home to a highly revered and most sacred Buddhist statue, and is a symbol of Buddhist spirituality in Thailand ⇨ Proceed to Wat Pho & the hall of the Reclining Buddha. It is one of Bangkok's oldest and largest temples, known for its giant 46-meter long statue. ⇨ Hop on to a ferry crossing to the opposite side of the river. ⇨ Visit Wat Arun. Its spire with 82 meters height is a prominent landmark visible from the river and offers panoramic views of the city skyline from its highest point. ⇨ A short break for refreshments & snacks ⇨ Transfer back. ★ The travel is flexible and can be customized. ⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒
