Hello...     My name is Kim.
After graduating from college in 2003 I began working in the hotel and travel business and opened my own travel agency in Patong Beach, Phuket.
I look forward to welcoming you to Thailand and making your holiday as enjoyable and beautiful as possible.
I am thankful to be happy, healthy, in love and have my family and friends with me both near and far.
TOURIST INFORMATION
Once you arrive in Thailand (Bangkok) you can take a taxi to your hotel or guesthouse. Bangkok is famous for its traffic, however taking a taxi to your destination should be fine. In Bangkok, the best mode of transportation is a motorbike. It is fast and cheap for short distances. You can start your sightseeing at Royal Grand Palace, see the Emerald Buddha at Wat Phra Kaew and then go to the Temple of Golden Buddha in Chinatown. And be sure to go to Chatuchak (The Weekend Market!) When shopping in Bangkok a local-native person may want to help you, but be careful of con artists, especially tuk tuk drivers who speak good english.
Night life in the city is fantastic! You have go-go bars, discos, ladyboy cabaret shows on Pat Pong Rd, food stalls and many restaurants. While Bangkok at night is very safe, please be careful of card game scams. After a few days in Bangkok you may be tired and want to get out of the rat race.
I recommend going north to the mountains of Chiang Mai where you can enjoy the friendly hill tribe atmosphere, do some trekking, bamboo rafting, white water rafting, rent motorcycles, see a waterfall, eat some grasshoppers, drink some Mehkong Thai local whisky-Lao Kao, or have a cold Singha beer. Do not forget to visit Phrae and Nan Province for nature and clean spirit!
After experiencing the north, head south to the island beaches such as Koh Samui, Koh Tao, Koh Phangan, Similan Islands, Phi Phi Island and Krabi. You can enjoy kayaking, sun tanning or just relaxing on the beach. The sea is tranquil, calm, and beautiful, and the locals are very laid back. And you may even get to see some of the famous Muay Thai Boxing between Thais and Farangs at the local stadium and fitness gyms! While walking or relaxing on the beach, find your love with a Thai girl, or boy!
