Meet your Local Friends
Say hello to John, Anne, and Mali, your awesome local buddies in the Land of Smiles—Thailand! They’re here to help you conquer basic Thai and make your adventure or move as smooth as sipping a refreshing coconut smoothie.
Hi, I am John.
I am a friendly, cheerful Englishman who swapped rainy days for Thailand’s sunny skies three years ago. Now thriving in Bangkok, I work for a local company and love diving into the city’s vibrant culture. With my friendly nature and insider knowledge, I am ready to share all the tips and tricks he’s picked up along the way.
Now, it’s time to introduce my friend, Anne.
Bonjour, I am Anne,
Hi everyone, I am a spirited Frenchwoman who’s new to Bangkok and currently working as a teacher at an international school. As luck would have it, I shared a floor in my condo with John, and we quickly became good friends.
I am eager to explore the city’s lively streets, connect with its people, and soak up all the culture Thailand has to offer. While I love spicy food, I am still adjusting to the tropical heat. My favorite Thai phrase is “pèt nít-nòi”—“a little spicy, please.”
Next, I would like you to meet Mali, our local Thai friend.
Sà-wàt-dii kâa 😄
chǎn chêuua “Mali” (literally my name means “Jasmine” in Thai) I am a local Thai, who grew up in Bangkok. I am working in a Thai company and I met John so I am John’s colleague. We work in the same team.
Since I embraced my own culture and Thainess, I have helped John explore Thailand and taught him some basic Thai during lunchtime. @John, you’re welcome! 😉
Are you ready? We are here to show you amazing Thailand!
Together, John, Anne, and Mali are your go-to local buddies, ready to help you integrate into Thai daily life and community with ease. With our local tips and relatable experiences, we will make sure your journey in Thailand is as exciting and enjoyable as ours!
