Our concept
Even though there are already many tour companies in Thailand, we think there's still a place for us, because we work according to a different concept. We combine visiting great places with the possibility to learn more about your camera.
Many people arrive at home after their amazing experience abroad and feel like they have to excuse themselves when showing their pictures to friends and family. “When I was there the colours looked amazing. You just had to be there!”
Well, of course we can never change the “You-just-had-to-be-there!”-part, no picture can replace the real experience, but with some useful tips you might be able to capture a part of that experience and share it with your friends and family. It's totally up to you if or how much you'd like to use Ton's knowledge about photography.
We'll do the best we can to make your trip an unforgettable trip!
About us
We, Ton and Tan, started the company TonTan Travel, because we both love travelling and the beauty of Thailand. During Ton's first visit to Thailand, we met each other and have been together since that time. When the idea came up to start this company, we both didn't had to think before we said: "Yes!".
We'll explain a little bit more about ourself.
Tan Dokbuaphuan was born in Thailand and successfully finished her university study at the faculty of Public Tourism Industry. She worked for some tour operators and in several hotels, but always dreamed about having her own company to organize tours for the visitors in her country.
Finally, her dream came true.
Her enthusiasm for her own country and culture, and at the same time her interest in the culture of others, will be easily written from her face. She enjoys it and will definitely make sure that you will enjoy your time even more. Tan speaks English and of course the Thai language. So maybe she can even help you to learn more about the local language.
Ton Smits was born in the Netherlands and is a professional photographer. Travelling, nature and making pictures are among his biggest passions. So, he's very delighted to combine all this and share it with you.
His images have been published in several countries, for example on the calendars of the airline Air Madagascar and have been sold as fine-art prints.
Have a look at www.TonSmits.com to see more of his work.
His eye for detail will assure you to see even the smallest wonders that Mother Nature created and besides that, he will explain you how to use your camera in a proper way.
Ton speaks English and Dutch.
We wish you a pleasant stay in Thailand and we hope you'll allow us to show you the beauty of this country.
