ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Madame Bernal
Sawatdee ka! Bangkok has been my home for 8 years now, but have previously lived in Paris, Moscow, Geneva, Strasbourg, Washington, DC and New York away from my hometown Chisinau. I am an avid traveler and my career in international development has taken me to places. My deep connection with this Bangkok has led me to uncover its hidden gems, from trendy neighborhoods and chic coffee shops to captivating art galleries and historic museums. I’ve also immersed myself in Bangkok’s rich history through its majestic palaces and hidden streets. I have traveled across Thailand, from the lush landscapes of Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai in the north to the stunning turquoise waters of the south. I understand how overwhelming it can be to plan a trip with so many incredible destinations to choose from. That’s why I’m here to help you craft your perfect itinerary and make your dream trip to Thailand a reality. In addition to my Thailand expertise, I’ve journeyed through various corners of Southeast Asia, absorbing the region's cultural tapestry, history, and heritage. My guides reflect my passion for beauty and history, offering a unique perspective on each destination. Join me as I share my itineraries, travel tips, and insights to help you explore and appreciate the diverse and enchanting destinations I’ve encountered.
