Chiang Mai Local Tours

We are pleased to introduce ourselves; My name is Oodie (or Theerayuth Kongsuwan) and my wife is Yui (or Suvimol Promthep). We are the owners and operators of the Chiang Mai Local Tours Company. I was born to a small family in Bangkok, Thailand. When I was young I had an uncle who worked at the American Jusmag Company as a tour guide. This group was set up in Thailand during the Vietnam War. During this time he guided tour groups around Bangkok and its vicinities. As a young boy, I often followed him, and became very fond of tour guiding. I loved the adventures, wonderful experiences, and meeting interesting people from around the world. After leaving school, I decided to work as an English speaking tour guide at both large and small hotels on and around the KhaoSan Road tourist area in Bangkok. On one occasion I had the opportunity to take a group of tourists up to Chiang Mai, a popular providence in the north of Thailand with its breathtaking capital that shares the same name. After staying there for a few days, I fell in love with areas native people and their simple way of life, its stunning scenery, unique traditions, and rich culture. In addition, Chiang Mai had many interesting places to visit such as the Buddhist temples, with their unique architecture and decorations, the colorful local markets, night bazaars, weekend walking streets, and amazing flora and fauna!
