Thailand: Land of Smiles

Thailand is one of many countries that have dynasties of legend. Historians credit a vast array of legendary and incredible accomplishments of ancestors that dated back more than 

700 years ago. That is how anthropologists also play a role in our better understanding of social norms and cultural values including Thai beliefs. The question is: why I am interested

in anthropology? Firstly, I started my career as a tour guide, and really love to learn about many cultures, people and languages. I did not study anthropology, but then I met my husband and he really has an influence on my efforts to understand more about my own culture. 

I started my translation career about 25 years ago when I was contracted to both translate industrial manuals and also serve as an interpreter for the Employment Development Department on behalf of unemployed Thai clients. From that point on, I built my expertise

with varied experiences. I started interpreting on a daily basis for all kind of services

such as insurance, immigration, 911 calls, medical and court interpreting. I love what I do. You may learn more about my service by visiting https://www.thaipjtranslation.wordpress.com

I love to learn about Thai Natives and I love my country and it's people. After completing a Bachelor's Degree in English at the prominent Thai university Chulalongkorn, I worked as a tour guide for foreigners visiting Thaland (after finishing Tour Guide Course Certification organized by Tourism Authority of Thailand and Silpakorn University). I  loved being able to use my bilingual skills to help people learn new things and to communicate. I decided to move to the U.S. to pursue a career in interpreting. I created PJ Translation in order to realize my dream of helping people communicate across unlimited disciplines.
