About Me

I work for the Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs as a Diplomat... so it's already my job to show foreigners my country! I am Thai but attended an international school since I was 8 and went to University in Australia and the UK, so I've got quite an international perspective (and some friends would say a "cocktail accent")

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Just moved in to a new condo in the middle of Bangkok, thought I'd put it to good use and meet some cool people.
