🙋🏻‍♂️Hi 🙋🏻‍♂️大家好 🙋🏻‍♂️สวัสดีคับ

Let's call me " Bigg "
我叫 "大名"
เรียกผมว่า "บิ๊ก" ก็แล้วกัน
‘빅’ 이라고 합니다

I can... host, hang out/meet up or answer your questions about Thailand.

🚫Do NOT be LAZY to read.🚫 Please READ 'My Home' carefully before sending any requests. If not, you may get a "decline" without any message.

I'm currently based in Chiang Mai, Thailand. 🇹🇭 I'm a local Thai who was born and raised in Chiang Rai, the northernmost province of Thailand. ✈️It will take you 1 hour 20 mins by plane or 12 hours by 🚌bus from Bangkok.

● My personality :🙎🏻‍♂️ I'm a down-to-earth, optimistic, simple, encouraging, energetic, easygoing, sociable, positive, considerate, environmental-friendly, conversations initiating, creative and practical person. ( let's prove when you meet me in person ) ผมเป็นคนติดดิน, มองโลกในแง่ดี, กินง่าย อยู่ง่าย, ชอบให้กำลังใจ, กระตือรือร้น, ชอบเข้าสังคม, ขี้เกรงใจ และชอบใช้ของที่ปลอดภัยต่อธรรมชาติ

You are more than welcome to visit me while I'm on duty.
🍲I can eat anything but prefer veggies because I can digest them faster compared to meat.
🍦I love desserts but they shouldn't be too sweet. I'm not a good story teller but I can be a good listener.
I'm a non-smoker🚭.
I don't snore ( This is what I have asked and observed from my friends)

● PHILOSOPHY 🙌
- We human are all from the same father so we are brothers and sisters.
- Life is too short. Make it worth living.
- Life is too short to be negative.
- Do to others as you would have them do to you.
- It's more blessed to give than to receive. - Your life will change after you either have met someone or have read a book.
- I hope my life is a book that someone wants to read.
- Learn from the Past, Live In the Present, Plan and Hope for the Future.
- Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country. (JFK)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe I'm fearfully and wonderfully made and so are you.
I have learned a lot from my friends. It's something money can't buy.
I love learning and I won't stop it until I have no breath left.

● What I have learned so far since I joined CS in August, 2015
1. Everyone at CouchSurfing is amazing. They have their own uniqueness.
You can learn from both good guest/host and bad guest/host.
You can learn to be more positive and giving because No-one is like you.
2. Many guests are looking for only free housing and nothing else. Be careful.
3. Many hosts will host only girls👩 and many hosts will host only guys👦. It's a waste of time if you are a male guest and sending a request to stay with a male host who accepts only female guests. Look at their references first.
4. The number of references can NOT TELL 100% that the user is a good guest or host and can NOT GUARANTEE that you can get along with him/her. You have to encounter him/her by yourself. For example, I used to host a friend with only 1 reference but he was more tidy, gentle, giving and considerate than another guest with 30+ references.
5. To me, it's pretty RUDE if you, as a host has received a request and don't respond 'accept' 'maybe' or 'decline' because it takes only a few seconds.
6. Write a HOST SPECIFIC request and MENTION the host's name in your request. Your message will get more chance to be read through.
7. A surfer who has a REFERENCE☝ or used to host a guest before has more chance to get hosted.
8. Be CONSIDERATE : I have learned to blend into a new environment. Many negative references are from not being thoughtful or considerate of others.
I just had 1 negative reference so far.
9. Somebody may give a reference to a wrong person. I have a few references from some users who I have never met or chatted with before.

However if you need a local to take you around the city, please let me know.
I'm more than happy to advise you about most-visited, good, interesting places to visit in Chiang Rai, Chiang Mai and Bangkok.
or if you want to meet up for a drink, don't hesitate to let me know.

Interests

Chatting, internet surfing, swimming, reading, hiking, learning and last but not least, eating

The reason why I'm learning many languages
- If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love R&B, Pop but can listen to many genres.
I cannot live a day without music.
My favorites are Sci-fi and comedy.
I love non-fiction and keep up with the recent news.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

hugged and get hugged from my family, relatives and friends
been to places that I've never been to
given something to someone that they are lack of

Teach, Learn, Share

I love teaching Thai language to the world.
I believe we were born on this earth to receive and to give.

I don't like going to school to study but I prefer to learn and learn.

I'm an active host and surfer in Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai.
If you are a good guest or host. I will tell a friend. If you are the opposite, I'll tell a hundred. Hahaha

What I Can Share with Hosts

1. 🕖My time, I consider our life time is so short so I want to spend time as much as possible with my host(s). I'm not a tourist in general who usually comes and goes. We will be friends forever. Actually it's until we both die but hope we will continue to talk in heaven.
2. 😆I will give you a positive and meaningful reference. I will NEVER ever give a host a negative reference unless he/she is trying to kill me or they decline my stay upon arrival.
3. 🍭I can give you something I can afford from Thailand as a gift of appreciation.
4. 🛫I'll try to revisit you at least once a year and want to host you back when you come to Thailand (If I'm available, tell me beforehand).
