Hi there! Nice to meet you

Kit

My Name is Kit, I come from a small local village in North East Thailand. I became a monk from the young age of 13 where I first lived in a cave in the forest with my grandfather ( who was also monk). I was a practicing monk for 6 years , where I then went to University to complete my bachelor degree in English Tourism.

I will love to share all my stories with you; explore and tell you all about my beautiful country & culture.

Es war ein wundervoller Tag, besser hätte mein Geburtstag nicht sein können. Kit war wunderbar. Er hat uns soviel Informationen über das Land und das Mönchsein gegeben. Einfach nur toll. Ein liebevoller Mensch und souveräner Tourguide. Wir haben sehr schöne Einblicke und Augenblicke gehabt. Danke für diesen schönen Tag. Mel Amazing

We had a great tour with Kit today who was super punctual at our hotel for the pickup. He explained about the history of Buddhism and was telling us his stories of becoming a monk and you could feel how much he loves to share all his knowledge and the stories with you. Visiting the Doi Suthep Temple in the morning with only very few other visitors around is very special. And of course offering the food to the monks and listening to them singing is also a great experience. Great tour for a tranquil morning

My husband and I had an amazing morning with Kit. He is so knowledgeable and we learned so much about the history of Chiang Mai and Buddhism in general. Cannot recommend this tour enough as a great way to see some beautiful temples and an incredible sunrise before the crowds! Sunrise tempoe

Worth the early morning start... a temple visit guided by Kit is a must do in Chiang Mai - He has excellent English and gives his personal insights into the Buddhist way of life. Early morning ensures the temple isn't busy, and the coffee and visit to the jungle temple makes a great morning trip.Best way to visit Doi Suthep

Kit was recommended to me by a friend whose judgment I trust, so I had no hesitation in contacting him for the first tour we took in Chiang Mai. He was professional in every way and answered all our questions about the beautiful and spiritual experience we had. He was very experienced and knew just where to take us to provide an outstanding morning. We wished we could have asked him to guide us on other days but he was hired for a week by a previous customer who uses him every year. That sums it up!Kit - exceptional guide, a fine person

My morning with Kit was really wonderful. He shared a lot about his life as a monk and I talked about what was going on in my life too. At the temple, I loved the giving food to the monks ceremony. Seeing the care that Kit took to make sure each monk got the food that would please them really made an impact on me (the kids got chicken wings). And sharing the sunrise with him was special. I mostly appreciated his asking me questions we could both equally weigh in on like what's most important in life, gives most satisfaction, parenting things, etc. It made for the kind of conversation I wanted to be having on this trip. Thanks Kit, you're a Sweetie!The Perfect Day for Me
