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.

Overview of your Pattaya tour

This is the perfect one day tour if you are arriving by cruise ship at Laem Chabang port and want to stay overnight in Bangkok. My driver will welcome you at the port and bring you to Bangkok city in about 2, 5 hours drive. Inside this bustling city I will meet you at the first to visit site. We can set up your dream trip before your arrival by email. I love to offer a fine mixture of Buddhist temples, local lifestyle experiences and of course great food during your visit to Bangkok on my tours. This way you will enjoy all flavors of Thailand in just one day and return to you ship with the most impressive stories and experiences which you can share with your new friends on board. After the first day I will drop you of at your hotel in Bangkok and the next day we can explore more sites in Bangkok together before my driver will transfer you back to your ship.

Vanna was fantastic! She ensured we fully experienced Bangkok, all the highlights as well as hidden gems she recommended. What a wonderful time we had! Vanna is knowledgeable about the culture and history of Thailand. She has a fun, engaging style and we enjoyed her personality! Our 2 days with Vanna exceeded our expectations!

Vanna was a wonderful guide, very knowledgable and passionate about Thailand! She even knew where the best photos should be taken. We thoroughly enjoyed our two days with her, and Mickey the driver was great too.

Vanna is simply extraordinary - personable; energetic; highly intelligent; passionate and exceptionally knowledgeable about all aspects of Thailand. We spent 1-1/2 totally customized days with her and her wonderful professional driver and saw countless sites which were not offered on any of the overly focused tours offered by our ship. Do not miss the Grand Palace, tropical botanical gardens, and Sanctuary of Truth.

Vanna was just the most delightful guide we could of hoped for. My booking went absolutely according to plan with the driver meeting us on exit from the port terminal with my name on a board. We felt safe with the driver amongst some crazy driving on our Bangkok trip. We were escorted to the Grand Palace, a river boat ride and a trip round the flower markets. Vanna was knowledgable informative and fun to spend time with. We were taken to the best place in Bangkok for Pad Thai lunch...which was incredible. We then used her skills and expertise the following day to visit the elephant sanctuary in Pattaya. This was followed by a trip to a tropical garden/dinosaur theme park with something there to suit people of all ages. All in all I highly recommend putting your trip in her very capable hands because shes fun & will take great care of you

Ms. Vanna is a stellar tour guide. 5 stars are not enough. I'm sure there's other guides with the same vast knowledge of Bangkok but "auntie" is able to accommodate every request. She listens. We had a very short but intense 36 hours and did three tours with her. We were able to do everything and more. The best part though is how fantastic a photographer she is. She knows every nook and angle. Long after memories of the trip will start to fade we will still have the dozens of stunning pictures.

Vanna is an excellent guide and very highly recommendable. Very punctual and caring, and utmost knowledgable on all subjects. Excursions on cruiseschip are always limited in time, but we saw all we possibly could. Vanna filled in our every request on things we wanted to see and do providing us along the way with local delicacies. No effort was spared. Great job ! A special mention to our driver who came across very heavy traffic, did a huge amount of driving but remained utmost friendly and caring.
