First of all, Yes, I am Thai, lol.

I am a bit introverted and would be a little quiet at first met. I can be blunt and sound mean. I just hate beating around the bush. However, once you get to know me, I’m pretty chill and easy going.

A gay graphic designer (cliché I know, lol) running his own business doing an E-Learning company in Bangkok. Being said, I am quiet busy during the day. So, I may not be able to take you out around the city. Yet, I am very happy to give suggestions on your research. This is also applying to those who interested to visit. I appreciated that you think I’m knowledgeable. But, I’m not travel agency. Please, do your homework first.

I live next to Lumpini park, Bangkok. So, pretty much in the center of the city.

The rule of staying in my place is really quiet simple; Be respectful, which it means this is my home and not a hostel.

I do appreciated if you can introduce yourself when you send a request. Expressing why do you want to stay with the local, what do you expect to gain from it and more importantly what can you give in return. Showing a bit more like a personal message and not copy and paste. I know you already have to do hard work to find a place to stay during your trip. And, I think it would be lovely for extra brownie points to put in a little more efforts.

In addition, I know some might not good with words. I am not one of them too. However, don’t make it like a demanding when you messaged me. I have great experience with CS so far. And, I have made new good friends. I would like to keep it that way.

Some of you have sent me messages requesting to stay on my IG. I do NOT accept any request outside Couchsurfing platform.

Not accept last minute request.

If the date is not available on my calendar, it means I’m not available. Sending a message asking me will not change a thing and will be ignored.

This is not Facebook. I will not add you as a friend unless we have met/hosted/stayed. I don’t care about how many people you have on your friend list.

I don’t host your belongings. If you can’t carry it, don’t bring it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Would love to make new friends from different places. The story they shared and experiences they have gone through. It’s always lovely to hear them.

I have a busy schedule and sometimes I work too hard and don’t give enough time for myself. Since I join CS, I got a chance to explore places and create some great memories with new friends.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am mostly just listening to whatever on the chart. No particular genre. So, it’s pretty much depending on my mood in that day, lol. (Yeah, I am one of those “Artist” mind).

I like all kind of movies - MARVEL fan.

Don’t have time to read... I mean, I am spending all my day reading my clients’ trainings/procedures. It’s already took out all my energy. But, if you wanna know about Thailand Anti-Money Laundry policies, I can explain it to you, lol.

I bought The Book of Dust by Philip Pullman - planing to read it... now, it is literally turned into the Book (full) of Dust.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Life is full of adventure; Saying only one thing I have done is a bit dull.

Explored the Nile River, seeing the life along the river bank, watching sunset setting down behind an ancient temple like the time has suddenly stop is pretty amazing.

Go through a safari in Nepal on an elephant (yeah yeah, it’s a thick forest we can’t use car to get in there, ok? LOL) back to discovering a rhinoceros and its baby in the early dawn is a life changing experience.

Tasting sake and Japan wonderful culinary is a thing to die for.

Diving in Mexico. It was the best time in my life. Would love to do that again though.

Life is full of surprises. The amazing things are keeping adding on my list.

Teach, Learn, Share

Do you want a Thai Cooking lesson? if you’re willing to risk it, I can teach you the basic Thai culinary, 😂. Quick question though... Does your travel insurance cover food poisoning? Hehe. There is a small morning fresh market near my place. We can go shopping for ingredients and experience the local life.

I’d love to learn Spanish. I am using Duolingo. But, all I can say so far is Buenos días, ¿cómo te llamas? ... I am such a terrible student, haha.

Want to learn and get diving license. It’s one of my goal now. Since, I had one dive in Mexico. I couldn’t forget that experience.

It would be nice to show my guest(s) the city I live in. Sharing my personal feeling towards the place I called home.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Share my culture, hanging out, grab a drink or two after work.
