Hi there,
How are you today?
Like most people, I work a 9–5 job, and I actually enjoy what I do. My career has always been in business, but I’ve longed to find myself in a more creative space, so I decided to start a travel blog as the first step in my creative journey. Here I can collect personal memories and share them with readers around the world.
If you’ve read this far, I want you to know I’ve poured my heart into this blog. My goal is to spread positivity through beautiful places and meaningful stories. I hope you enjoy reading about my adventures — and learn a thing or two along the way.
With Love,
Tum
What does Traveling Tum mean?
Fun fact, every Thai person has a first name and a nickname. Tum is my nickname. And I love traveling, so I combine the two together! Usually, nicknames can be completely different from first names, unlike English nicknames, which often shorten the first name (e.g., Benjamin to Ben). My nickname, Tum, doesn't actually have any meaning by the way. It's just a word sound. But I like it because my mom gave this name to me. So, simply put "Traveling Tum" – means Tum loves to travel!
What inspired me to start this blog?
Over the years I’ve noticed a lack of English content written by Thai travel bloggers. Although my blog isn’t solely about Thailand, my love of travel has inspired me to share my stories through Thai eyes. This inspired me to create Traveling Tum, a platform for sharing travel tips “from one friend to another.” I really enjoy welcoming my foreign friends to Thailand, and where possible I like to share useful information with them. Here you’ll find the insider information I’d give my own friends, along with stories and practical tips for travelers worldwide.
Do I travel outside of Thailand too?
Absolutely! Beyond Thailand, I also love traveling overseas. My dream is to learn as much as possible about the world, its people, and their cultures. I also want to be a small voice on the internet, offering different perspectives and showcasing the world through my Thai eyes. I hope to visit all the places on my bucket list and possibly earn some side income from this passion of mine.
So, I want to thank all of you for taking the time to read my travel blog and visit my TikTok page. :)
