I’m from Bangkok and have lived here my entire life. I started my career straight after completing my degree, which was in hospitality and tourism, and began working as a tour guide in Bangkok and did so for 10 years. During this time, I travelled through the whole of Thailand and South East Asia, as well as, a lot of the rest of Asia. Around four years ago, I decided to set up on my own and began finding the best, most authentic experiences that nobody else was offering.

I’m from Bangkok and have lived here my entire life. I started my career straight after completing my degree, which was in hospitality and tourism, and began working as a tour guide in Bangkok and did so for 10 years. During this time, I travelled through the whole of Thailand and South East Asia, as well as, a lot of the rest of Asia. Around four years ago, I decided to set up on my own and began finding the best, most authentic experiences that nobody else was offering. Growing up, I always had a keen interest in discovering and exploring new places, so this is where my passion to work in travel came from.

I was working as a tour guide and when I spoke to travellers and asked them where they were going, I’d only ever hear the same places mentioned. So I decided to change that. There was SO many untouched place people weren’t going to in Thailand so I wanted to show people there are loads more to this country. The experiences I find are not only authentic and aren’t being done by other tour companies, but they are also fully ethical and sustainable. We make sure the experiences support the communities to make a positive impact on the environment, education, economy, and society. We truly care to preserve the way of Thai lifestyle and help communities stand up for sustainable living.

Location

Koh Kret is an island in the middle of the Chao Phraya River to the north of Bangkok.

It is a settlement by descendants of the Mon people. Nowadays, Ko Kret is known for its rural atmosphere and its busy weekend market. We would like to show you something a little different and take you to explore the other parts of the island. Here, you will get to know the local way of life.
