My sister and I are the co-founders of our travel service. We were born in Nakonrachasima Province; North East, and came to Bangkok study 13 years ago. A wise man said "you will not appreciate what you have until you lose it or hear it praised by others" . We agree with that since we have learned an appreciation of our surroundings by hearing our guests praise the sites we visited together. We enjoy sharing our excitement with others, and our love for Bangkok grows as we see our guests fall in love with our "City of Angels."
As Natives of Thailand and locals in Bangkok, we want to share with you the exotic, exclusive, unknown and unseen sites. We are here to help, and are delighted when we can be of service to you!
For me, my passion is always about working for myself. I grew up in merchant family. As a first female girl of family, my mother taught all house works. I help her since I was little, both in house works and her business matter.
When I was young, I always took food for offering to Buddhist monks for lunch or for breakfast. I had to listen to sermon and wait until the monks finished their food and collect my food containers and return home. I remembered that was not an activities that I like or dislike. But it has high impact on my life now a day. Those little activities had tight me with the faith of Buddhist teach. Now I am apply Buddhism for my philosophy of living by meditating and learn about my though. Life is much better when I have religion leading of living.

Market by the Train Tracks
Can you imagine having to set up and completely clear your workspace or room multiple times a day? That is what the stallholders at MaeKlong Train market do, day in day out. It is a market set up on the train tracks. Yes, you read that right. On. Just before the train arrives in the town, the market stallholders have to pull back their awnings and remove their produce from the tracks. Marvel at this distinct skill as the train leaves and arrives four times each. This aside, pique your curiosity by observing how brine salt is made and how sug...

I went on this trip as part of Indiescapes curation. My host was Mee, and she was absolutely fascinating, in so many ways.
We started the day visiting a temple to give alms to the monks. There, Mee shared with me the traditions of Thai culture and how Buddhism is ingrained into many of their lives. We even saw some famous politicians and actresses bringing a car full of generous alms to give out to the monks.
She brought me to a local market for breakfast, and the food was very delicious. It was interesting to see the daily lives of the working people as we walked through the market. We had thai fish cake, fried dough, beef glass noodles and thai iced tea.
Mee was very accommodating and had a wealth of knowledge to share. Whenever we walked through places with unique local food, she would buy some just so I could try it! I learnt from her about the history of Buddhism, how it is practiced in Thailand and we discussed very interesting social norms of the Thai culture throughout our day together. Ask her about the dating scene in Thailand, you'll be shocked!
The meditation session was a relaxing way to end the day. I had previously gone through a 10-day meditation course in India, so this was like a refresher for me. But for the other internationals who wanted to get exposed to meditation, this is a good start.
All in all, Mee was a fascinating host with great English, interesting perspectives and most importantly, her deep passion for her country and her love for sharing it with her guests. The more questions you ask her, the more you get out of your trip! :)
