Most visitors are often looking for a place with extensive advertising. You may be happy with that. But of course you should expect most places to be crowded, the feeling that you are not living abroad. If you choose to travel a different way, you'll find attractions led by the community and learn the cultural life of the local people. Local people will show you hidden places and how to experience real local culture. You will find a new form of tourism which also grants distribution of income to the community creating assets for the locals.

I am Thai and come from the province of Nakhon Sri Thamarat in Southern Thailand. I love music and play guitar very well and love to play with other musicians. There is nothing better than to get with a group of friends and have a few drinks and a great jam session. I enjoy exchanging experiences and learning about different cultures from all around the world. I want people to know more and discover Thai ways as we are people who like to take care of our hosts and share good times together.
