A Good Tourist Guide In My Chiangmai Trip

I had used the service of tourist guides in my overseas trips several times. Some of the tourist guides are really good and informative, describing almost every single detail of the places  and the do's and don'ts of their customs and cultures. However,  some really shows that they just work for the money without making much effort to promote their very own country.

SupanJay is one the best tourist guide that I had so far. He was my tour guide during my trip  to Chiangmai, Thailand. With the help of Jay. we truly enjoyed very much our holidays there. My family members were satified with the services given by Jay who had been very patient and helpful. 

What are his characteristics that made me appreciate his services? Firstly he made sure that we went to every place stated in the itinerary. This way we did not feel that we were cheated and trusted him as our tour guide. Once he had forgotten to take us to the museum on the day stated in the itinerary. He then apologized to us and took us there the very next day. 

Jay also explained in  detail the places that we went. Even though his English was not that fluent we understood what he expained and appreciated his effort to make us understand what he said. When we went inside the museum, Jay also explained some historic events related to the  exhibited items. From there we know that Jay knows a lot about the history of Chiangmai.

Jay was also particular about the food given to us during our trip. Besides making sure that it was halal as my famiy and I are muslims, he also made sure that fruits are given on every meal. If he happened to eat in different restaurant from us, he aways asked us whether the  waiter had given us fruits as deserts or not.

As muslims, we had to pray several times a day. Even though we were not sure of Jay's religion, Jay made sure that we had enough time to pray by bringing us to the mosques in Chiangmai and Chiangrai. Through his expressions we knew that he did not mind waiting in the vehicle while we prayed in the mosque. There were not many mosques in Chiangmai and Chiangrai, therefore planning ahead was very important so that we were able to visit the places according to the itinerary.

Even though Chiangmai and Chiangrai were not popular tourist destinations(in my country), Jay made our trip a worthwhile and enjoyable experience. His eagerness and willingness to show us around the places in Chiangmai and Chiangrai  gave us the good impression of Chiangmai people as a whole. We willingly gave Jay a tip for his service before boarding the plane back home.However,in a humble manner, Jay said, ," That won't be necessary."


Thumbs up to Jay for his good services.
