who we are

get to know our team


Rooted in small-town family values and a simple desire to please, Co van Kessel's concept transformed what was once an eccentric diversion into one of Thailand's most unique and inspirational travel experiences.

Led by co-founder, Chanmanee Phonphakdee (Nong) and former silicon valley tech geek, Henry Hsu, we devote every day to the simple, but amazing task of showing the REAL Bangkok to astute visitors from around the world.

WHAT WE STAND FOR

our philosophy

Our mission at Co van Kessel is to provide our guests with a singularly unique travel experience in Thailand. All our tours use Co’s extensive topographical knowledge as well as his keen eye for the interesting to take you where nobody else can or will.

" We aim not to bore you with talk, but to immerse you in an experience where your individual fascinations emerge. "

Bicycles, boats, and our feet become the tools we use to gain access to the previously inaccessible, behind-the-scenes lifestyle of the Thai.
Here the roots of an ancient culture will become evident in a way you never could have imagined..
