Tour guide

Dear readers,

I work for Panorama Destination DMC here in Bangkok. We carry out trips for FOX Verre Reizen ANWB (travel agent from the Netherlands), and we are now looking for Dutch-speaking persons who would like to guide groups in Thailand as a tour guide.


WE ARE LOOKING FOR TRAVEL LEADERS!

Are you interested in working as a Dutch-speaking tour guide and guiding groups for a renowned travel organization in Thailand? Do not hesitate any longer and contact us.

Prior experience is a plus but not required. After all, we provide you with the necessary training to make you a suitable tour guide.

The offer is open to everyone, but we prefer people with Thai or dual nationality. Excellent knowledge of the Dutch language is an absolute requirement!

You also have a passion for travel, you are social, flexible and also well organized.

If you are interested or if you have further questions, please contact us at:

Phone: (+66) 2255 2900 | E-mail: [email protected]

    What about the work permit?

    • Chris says up

      People with a Thai passport do not need a work permit. But I have not yet come across Thai people who speak (and write) Dutch fluently in Thailand. If they are there, they live in the Netherlands or Belgium, I guess.

      • Bert says up

        They are there, my wife and daughter have lived in NL for over 5 years and now in TH.
        I wouldn't say fluent, but still pretty good.
        And there will undoubtedly be more

  2. Chris from the village says up

    You will not get a work permit for a tour guide as a farang,
    because this is work , what a Thai can do and there are certainly
    Thais, who can also speak Dutch.
    For example , women who have been injured in the Netherlands ,
    or being married to a Dutch person .

    • Bert says up

      Tour guide, or guide is a protected profession

      Tour leader or guide is possible, but a trained Thai guide must be present at all times.

  3. Luka says up

    I wonder about the work permit, I thought that tour guide is a protected profession that can only be done by people with Thai nationality.

  4. Alex says up

    I myself have had a travel agency in Thailand for years and I still occasionally mediate in tours or golf trips. A friend of mine who has been living in Thailand for almost 20 years now and is a tour guide has worked for Fox in the past. He is not a tour guide but a tour guide, so something completely different. A Thai tour guide is present throughout the trip and he 'assists' and sells trips and stops are made at certain places along the way where he and the tour guide take turns. So he has no work permit and never will.

    I also had a Thai friend who came to the Netherlands as a little boy with his Thai mother when he was 7-8 years old. He was working as a carpenter in the Netherlands and was rejected due to an industrial accident and through me he started working as a tour guide in Thailand and therefore did not need a work permit, but he had to follow the course for a tour guide.

  5. Willem says up

    I understand that the position offered here is seen as a tour guide and not as a guide. Apparently no work permit is required. But it is work. So I assume it will not be suitable for someone staying here on a Non immigrant O or OA basis.

    • I think it is clear in the text how to act if you are interested, but why read that?
