Ada Huang

Hello, I'm Ada, a specialist based in Thailand. I have a passion for adventure and enjoy discovering new things. Traveling allows me to connect with people, immerse myself in local cultures, and rejuvenate both body and mind. With over fifteen years of experience as a tour guide, I draw on my local expertise and industry connections to create tailored experiences as a local specialist.

Thailand is the country I'm most eager to introduce to you. It boasts a rich history, diverse wildlife, and stunning beaches. In Bangkok and its surroundings, you can explore iconic historical sites and delve into local life. Chiang Mai offers opportunities to interact with elephants and savor the unique food culture. Finally, unwind in a beach paradise, lounging on soft sands and engaging in exciting activities. Thailand eagerly awaits your exploration, and I am thrilled to customize the perfect trip for you!

What places and activities do you specialize in?

"Welcome to our comprehensive selection of travel experiences in Thailand, where we offer captivating culture and history tours, sun-soaked beach getaways, and thrilling adventure tours.

Culture and History Tours:
Embark on a journey through Thailand's rich heritage with our culture and history tours. Explore ancient temples, royal palaces, and UNESCO World Heritage sites that narrate the fascinating stories of Thailand's past. Immerse yourself in local traditions, witness vibrant festivals, and savor the flavors of authentic Thai cuisine. Our tours provide a deep cultural understanding, allowing you to connect with the heart of Thailand.

Adventure and BeachTours:
Embark on a thrilling adventure through the heart of Thailand's stunning landscapes. Trek through lush jungles, discovering hidden waterfalls and caves. Engage in heart-pounding activities like zip-lining, rock climbing, or kayaking, and explore the natural wonders that Thailand has to offer. Whether you're a seasoned adventurer or a first-timer, our tours are designed to cater to all levels of thrill-seekers.
Unwind and soak up the sun on Thailand's most pristine beaches. From the lively shores of Pattaya to the serene beauty of Koh Samui, our beach tours offer a perfect blend of relaxation and tropical exploration. Enjoy water activities, pamper yourself with spa treatments, or simply lounge on the sandy shores. Your beach retreat in Thailand promises to be a haven of tranquility and coastal beauty.

Experience the best of Thailand with us—whether you're drawn to its cultural heritage, pristine beaches, or thrilling adventures, we're here to create a memorable and seamlessly curated travel experience for you."

How did you get involved in travel?

"During my college years, I frequently coordinated hiking, cycling, and mountain climbing trips for my classmates and friends on weekends. These experiences reaffirmed my love for exploring new landscapes and immersing myself in local cultures. Following graduation, I pursued a career as an English-speaking tour guide, a role I dedicated over fifteen years to before transitioning into my current position as a local specialist."

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"One of the most memorable experiences was my first hiking trip. After an hour-long train ride and another hour on a local bus, we reached the base of the mountain. The ten-hour ascent took us through bamboo groves, where we marveled at wildflowers along the trail and enjoyed breathtaking panoramic views from the mountaintop. This unforgettable adventure left an indelible mark on my mind, ensuring it will be cherished for a lifetime."

Our guides, Mike and Tim, were just wonderful. They made sure we saw all the items that were on our lists and even some unexpected ones. The visitation to all the Buda sites, the gold and people dressed in clothing from the country was so great. Seeing how the women made the flower decorations to honor the temples was amazing. All the areas to shop and the street food vendors were a site to see. Great time!! Now looking forward to the next adventure.
