About Me

Currently I'm studying in Barcelona, Spain. I'm not available to meetup or host in Bangkok. Sorry!

Hey guys, my name is Pro! I was born and raised here in Bangkok, Thailand.

Currently working full-time, but every now and then I travel to broaden my horizons and experience new cultures of the world.

I graduated from Engineering, Chulalongkorn University, Thailand, and also an AIESEC alumni (Hey AIESEC!)

I like to travel to exciting new places, sometimes on solo adventures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I travel a lot not only to see the historical and magnificent tourist attractions, but I also love to really experience the local cultures, whether it be food, people, traditions, customs etc. Getting to talk to the local people is the best to really delve into the culture, in my opinion. This is why I would like to talk and really get to know my couchsurfing hosts, and build long-lasting memories and friendships.

I also want to explain to anyone about my hometown and my country to anyone who's interested. So if you happen to come to the most visited city in the world, I am happy to tell you what you need to know, as well as how to travel around my country.
