How do you feel when you search for a place in google map and you arrive to a place which looks totally different from what you googled or researched?
That was the starting point when I decided to become a local guide.
Let me tell you the story…
It been 3 years ago to accidently become to be a local guide.
At first I just want to correct the place destination, but then I found a lot of things to do with this.
Phu-Tao-Pong ภูเตาโปง ชุมชนบ้านบุ่งกุ่ม จ.เลย
At that time, I was using a google map to drive to somewhere which a pretty hidden and not the famous place,
After driving for 6 hours, Google said …
“Your are arrived your destination”
I was looking around and wondering where the place was, and found that I was in a sacred temple. Nobody’s here. The atmosphere around was quiet and empty.
.
.
I know a lot of people has the same experience as me, set the destination and then follow the google map.
You will know your destination until you arrived, if the destination is wrong then it’s wrong.
In my thinking was …
I don’t want anybody feel like I am in the wrong address. How can I do to correct this place, correct this information?
Then I decide to do it at that night, and become a local guide.
Because the local people there, they are not familier with technology. So they don’t know how to edit , promote, don’t know how to show what they have. I helped them to correct the data, infotmation, contact, review, photo.
These are make this place more interesting.Then this place is famous now 
I’m so proud.
.
.
So, for me the most interesting thing is …
I can be useful for others by providing the right directions, interesting reviews, and wonderful photos and share that to the world through Google. I want people to have great impression and experience about it
I’m so proud to be a local guide. But what’s more important to me is to help others and pass along happiness while they spend time in a place.
I would like to define few sentenses of the local guide;
Google map likes a water Because Life can’t live without water.
Local guide likes a Collagen that makes the water more value and full benefit.
I’m so proud of myself that I can be part of this community.
Thanks
