Hi. I’m Apichat Jetawatana from Thailand. I’m very excited when I saw an email from Google Map. I Joined Local guide for a long time. The first time I just want to share my travel photos, give a comment and review. Around 1 month, I got email show many peoples view my photos. I’m very happy. I can help people to travel, shopping, finding a supermarket, temple, ATM, Cafe etc It’s very useful!
so After that, I more share photos, comments, give a review to Google Maps.sometimes my friend said why I always share photos, It’s wasting time. but I said I want to help other people. sharing my travel experience. I want to make this world is better.
When I was 30 years old. It was my 1st trip to backpack alone. I never fly before. So I was excited, confuse. At that time. Internet was not good. I still used a feature phone. I had to take note in my book.write. take a short note, print information about tourism places. read many websites. It was difficult.
Now I joined Local Guide. I so proud because I can help other peoples by sharing my photos, give a comment
And I use Google Maps for planning my travel itinerary many times, too. It makes me save more time, save more money
My Tips
I like to travel in the adventure style. I don’t rent a Pocket wife or Roaming mobile for saving money
-
I save offline Map into Google Map
-
I screen capture or save pictures for Tourism places
-
A local restaurant is a good place for learning local culture.
-
Mostly you can find tourism maps at the Train station.sometimes It have a discount coupon.
-
I recommend to use Google Translate , You can download Language pack for using offline.
Thank you very much to other local guides who share your travel experience, share your photos. give comments. I promise I very appreciate and promise to give my travel experience forward to other people. Make The world is better.
