Martin Jeromin
In 2012 I left Germany and started a new life in Bangkok. I've since realised that I found a new home in Thailand. I have been constantly traveling throughout the region and made many lasting memories and friendships. While maybe less developed in some ways, the region is rich in natural beauty and culture and offers one of the greatest culinary kitchens in the world. Many years have passed and I still think that the people are everything and I'm still surprised at the hospitality and friendliness that I have been searching for all my life.
What places and activities do you specialize in?
"I am a keen scuba diver, so ask me anything about the best spots to dive in Thailand. Chiang Mai, the "capital" of the North is a place that I visit at least every 2 months. It is surrounded by mountains with great coffee & tea plantations, so it is great to travel the mountains and have a nice cup of coffee or tea in the cloudy hills. During Covid, I had the opportunity to travel to Thailand as I have never before, even the most unusual places that are not your typical destination, like Khanom in Nakhon Si Thammarat or Chiang Khan in Loei. "
How did you get involved in travel?
"That's an easy one: I just wanted to give to others what I found in Thailand. That's what drives me every day 24/7 since I decided to start a new life in Bangkok. So I find great pleasure in taking people by the hand and pass the magic that is Thailand to everyone with an open mind and heart. "
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"Just recently I have been to the Khao Sok National Park, which is a large National Park in the province of Surat Thani. We visited the Cheow Lan Lake which is a waste artificial lake in the midst of the park. As we were roaming the lake with our boat, we spotted a wild elephant herd of 7 on the tip of the lake. I have seen many elephants in Thailand in all sorts of camps, but never in real wildlife, we were just amazed by that sight."
