I was born in Sukhothai and I have worked as a licensed local tour guide in northern region of Thailand. I was trained and certified as CHSG (Cultural Heritage Specialist Guide) by UNESCO Thailand in 2015. After the training, I have discovered the more meaningful Sukhothai in different aspects. I have learned what lied beneath people's livelihood in the past and what exists in their way of life nowadays. Sukhothai is regarded as the origin of Thai history, Thai alphabets, Thai Buddhism and one of UNESCO world heritage sites. The serene Buddha images and ancient temples attract thousands of history lovers and travelers to discover my hometown. I'd love to show you many remarkable historic places and local way of life in the eyes of a local. As a local, every year I participate with schools in my hometown. I train English to kids in elementary and secondary schools in their English Camp. In my free time, I am hobbyist photographer. I like to take photos of the ruins and people in my hometown to see the difference in days, nights and seasons. There are two ways for me to show my feeling towards my hometown. One is photography and another is being a local tour guide. I'm willing to show you my hometown in my point of view and share experience together to discover the more of "the dawn of happiness". Please feel free to contact me to get more information or any assistance that will make your trip unforgettable moment. - Northern tourist guide license certified by Ministry of Tourism and Sports Thailand - Certified as CHSG (Cultural Heritage Specialist Guide) in the area of Sukhothai, Si Satchanalai and Kamphang Phet by UNESCO Thailand in 2015. -None-

"Sukhothai" literally means the dawn of happines. The city was established in the 13th century. The kingdom lasted for almost 200 years and passed down many religious belief, culture and arts which are still inherited by people nowadays. Many graceful temples, Buddha images, and Buddhist votive objects were created during Sukhothai period (13th to 16th century). These show how people believed in Buddhist way of life and common morality concept passed down from generations to generations. Sightseeing the ruins and monuments and learn history in World Heritage sites will give you a perfect picture of the old kingdom.
