Sunset at Hat Chao Mai Natonal park, Trang
My name is Ning, local guide level 7 from Thailand. I am travelling a lot for work and for my holiday. I like taking photos to keep it as a memory. I usually go to the place that I am not familiar with. Google maps is like my best friend. It always guided me the direction and the estimated time of arrival. This help me to organize my whole trip. And another thing I always do is planning about where to go, place to eat, hotel to stay. Google is also the tool for me to explore and help me decided what is interesting by reading the reviews of others. I am so thankful for the excellent tool that help people so much in many ways. Without google map I may not find the way to meet my customer easily. I really proud to be part of google local guide. To be a person who help them improve the maps for everyone to be connected and have the right information.
For me being local guide mean happiness by sharing the information to others through reviews and photos. To help other make their decision as well as me. Some said that a picture is worth a thousand words, so I always share many photos. I am so happy that I spend my free time do wonderful things. And it is even happier to know that the photo I share, the review I wrote and the place I add was reach to many people including the owners. Once I comment to the bakery shop to recommend that they should do mix flavor with raisin and egg thread. Next month I went to the shop and they have the flavor I recommended.
Another thing I am feel so proud is adding the missing place and correct wrong information. According to my work as a sale representative at pharmacy shop so I continue to add the pharmacy shop and correct the information to the maps for people looking for primary healthcare and help the business grow.
To summarize, being local guide for me mean sharing, happiness and inspiration.
