Dong Hwan Ko
I still remember my first journey to Thailand — the smiles that felt genuine, the culture that felt alive, and food bursting with bold, unforgettable flavors. Coming from South Korea, I never expected a place to feel so instantly like home. That moment changed everything. Now, I’m here to turn those memories into meaningful journeys and share the magic of Thailand with travelers from around the world.
What places and activities do you specialize in?
"Living in Thailand has allowed me to discover unique and meaningful experiences beyond ordinary travel. From hidden locations to soulful activities, each journey offers space to slow down, reconnect, and truly feel present. I personally curate and offer experiences that nurture both physical well-being and inner balance — helping you reconnect with yourself and gently realign your path in life."
How did you get involved in travel?
"I grew up with a curious heart always eager to learn from new cultures and meet people from different walks of life. Having lived among three cultures Myanmar, Thailand, and South Korea the world became my classroom. Along the way, I made friends from all corners of the globe, explored new countries, tasted new flavors, and embraced new ways of life. That’s when I knew… travel isn’t just about going somewhere it’s about sharing experiences that stay with you forever."
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"It was, without a doubt, one of the most reckless travel experiences of my life. A few friends and I decided to take a guys-only summer trip to Laos young, confident, and heavily inspired by Fast & Furious (bad idea already). We rented motorbikes, two people per bike, convinced we were ready for an epic road adventure.
We rode from one tourist spot to another, feeling like action movie stars… until reality hit. Bikes crashed into each other, directions made no sense, and somehow we ended up completely lost in the middle of the road at night with no GPS, no signal, and absolutely no idea where we were going.
After hours of riding, arguing, laughing, and questioning our life choices, we finally made it back… only to discover the truth:
We had been riding in circles around our own hotel for hours with three people squeezed onto each bike.
Reckless? Absolutely. Dangerous? Probably.
Unforgettable? 100%.
And that’s when I learned something important great travel stories aren’t just about perfect plans. They’re about the moments you laugh about for the rest of your life. Today, I share those kinds of experiences the right way creating exciting, unforgettable journeys without getting you lost in circles.
Let me help you turn your travels into stories worth telling safely, smoothly, and memorably."
