Anne

My name is Mattanaporn, but like all Thai people, I have a nickname - Anne. Guess that's a lot easier! I am an official TAT licensed (Tourist Authority of Thailand) tour guide. I love to travel, and it's my passion to show tourists my beautiful country and teach them more about Thai culture and the Thai way of life. An office job is not my thing; I was born to be a guide, work outside, meet new people from all over the world and make them smile in the Land of Smiles! If you want to experience the Thai capital uniquely and locally, then join me.

From USD 75 / Group
