The first time I went to Thailand, I fell in love with the country!


For me, Thailand is the full package that offers something for everyone.


From private Guides, to custom Itineraries and unique experiences, hand-picked lodges, enjoy the best of Thailand customized just for you!  With 24/7 in-country support and unbeatable value at every turn, that's what you can expect when you work with me on your Thailand adventure.


Foodies, listen up!


You can literally eat your way through this beautiful country! Thai food is one of the best cuisines, and it's even better when you can enjoy it like a local, with everything prepared with fresh, local ingredients.


History buffs will also love all there is to experience and see, such as the magnificent Grand Palace, Ayutthaya (a modern city filled with archaeological wonders), Wat Pho (one of Bangkok's oldest temples), as well as many other ancient and historic temples and attractions.


One experience that often goes undiscovered by the average traveler is the ethereal floating markets of Damnoen Saduak. Here, you can glide through a maze of colorful long-tail boats laden with fresh produce, fragrant street food, and artisanal handicrafts. Capturing the essence of traditional Thai life, this enchanting market offers a truly immersive cultural experience that allows visitors to connect with the local way of life in a way that few other destinations can.


The majority of the Thai population are Buddhist. Their strong beliefs in the Buddhist religion are a big part of their history, good demeanor and positive attitude.


For outdoor activities, adventurers can look forward to lovely beaches, ziplining, biking through Chiang Mai, snorkeling and so much more.


Two of the most popular beaches are lively Phuket, - featuring lots of restaurants, bars and fun activities,; and tranquil Krabi showcasing beautiful beaches. If you love animals like I do, Otheranother siteghts to see include is the elephant reserves up in the North. I love animals, and Tthe elephants are such beautiful creatures as well asand are Thailand's national animal.


Lastly, you won’t want to miss Koh Samui island, where you can attend "the world's largest full-moon beach party" that attracts visitors from all over the world!


Whenever I travel to Southeast Asia I always include a visit to Thailand as part of my trip.  No matter if you're a couple, a family, honeymooners or a private group, I can help you plan an amazing adventure you'll never forget.  Contact me today to get started!

My Travel Stories

A Journey Through the Wonders of Thailand

I arrived in Bangkok, the bustling capital city of Thailand, and was immediately taken aback by the vibrant energy of the place. From the moment I stepped out of the airport, I was surrounded by the sights, sounds, and smells of a culture vastly different from my own.
