NINJA - ALI – SENIOR GROUP LEADER

Wassup guys, my actual name is Sarayuth Yaekram, but you can call me Ali (sexybitchthailand).

I have graduated from university with both an English language major and Japanese language minor. I am from the northeast of Thailand and i have been working as a tour guide for the last 6 years taking groups around my wonderful country, showing the best spots and providing information and history along the way.

I got my job after being inspired by a university senior who encouraged me to join him on a tour, since that point, I knew that I wanted to learn English and become a tour guide.

I absolutely love my job and can’t wait to meet you all!

Regards, Ali 😘

NINJA - BEE - SENIOR GROUP LEADER

Hi, I am Bee🐝. Can't believe myself I am working for Tourism! Everyone was shocked when they knew what Bachelors' degree I got: "PHYSICS" and it was in Russian. I was crazy, ain't I? What I am doing here!!! Obviously, my degree was extremely useless for this industry😂, But I never give up and believe that degree cannot limit talent of the human. Working as a group leader have changed my attitude and I wasn't able to believe that I pulled it off. I guarantee by 5/5 of every review from every customer how well I have looked after them for almost 6 years. Everyone was more than friends, I loved them as my brothers and sisters. Some of them called me Thailand Mam, it didn't mean I was dictator, but they knew that I was in charge of every tour with "Love". Every customer will be served by the great experience equally under my care❤️. It is such a cool job, I have never done in my life, specifically working for "Trutravels" and with "TruFam". We are bound together more than we think and love the way Trutravels is. Love every minute working here with different personalities and nationalities of customers and team! Willing to carry on this job and develop my capability x

BLACK BELT NINJA – ONEWAY- GROUP LEADER

Heya! My name is Phatsada Khoonla, just like my friends you can call me Oneway. I have had the pleasure of working as a tour guide for Trutravels for 2 years. I became a tour guide initially to improve my English however, after working with Trutravels, I have realized it is also a great way to meet new people and make new friends from around the world. My hometown is in Sisaket province in northeastern Thailand. It is a small community surrounded by jungle. If you have a chance to explore Thailand deeper on your travels, you should check it out. Since I becoming a tour guide it has allowed me to explore more of Thailand as well. Through the tours you will have the chance to taste some of the local foods, some of my favourites are papaya salad and an authentic Thai omelette, and not forgetting what I have with every meal, Jasmine rice. I have also had the chance to try English food and found a love for fish and chips, this is thanks to Trutravels!

After experiencing travelling firsthand and hearing all your wonderful stories about travelling it is now something, I am experiencing for myself. I am looking to travel more in the future, I have already had a visit to England and I am now thinking about my next trip, possibly to New Zealand or exploring my surrounding countries such as Laos, Indonesia or India which I will do with my friends and colleagues at Trutravels. If I'm lucky, once I have visited these places, I might get to be your tour guide on your next adventure.
