About the Founder Being fond of traveling, I've traveled to countless places the world over. Long ago, in 1982, I visited Thailand for the first time. During that brief one-month-long visit, traveling from east to west and north to south, this mysterious and exotic kingdom revealed to me a whole new and exciting world with some great out-of-the-way places with the quaint oriental lifestyle, a steaming beauty of its unspoiled countryside, quiet riversides and streaming waterfalls, superb beaches, a delicious Thai Cuisine, an incredible array of tasty and exotic Tropical Fruits, the delights of sizzling Nightlife Festivities, and ultimately, the kind and generous nature of Thai People.
Not sure who said: "To the Western mind, Thailand offers a stimulus to the imagination as profound as Thai cuisine's subtle expansion of our taste range" - but it can't be more precise.
Discovering Thailand To me as a tourist at that time, Thailand was the kingdom of prospects and pitfalls that fulfilled my most intimate fantasies, be it in the comfortable resorts, tropical gardens, wild jungles, splendid sunny beaches, sea or river trips, during days and nights bristling with excitements. Everything a traveler might just dream of and more. I was so enchanted that it didn't take me long to come back and become a willing "prisoner" of the Thai kingdom by heartily marrying a charming Thai girl.
Our Mission During my first years in the Land of Smiles, I lived in Pattaya, Thailand's favorite beach resort, where I started receiving my friends and then friends of friends and guests. That way, learning the country and the travel business from the ground up. Eventually, I relocated to Bangkok, where in 1989, I founded a private Thai company TIGAR Co., Ltd. primarily specializing in the reception of individual and group travelers in Thailand, and also, in exports of Thai goods.
Despite the sad fact that my Thai skills are still quite poor, my efforts have been aided by being fluent in 3 languages: English, Russian, and Hebrew. Also, I had a lot of personal traveling experiences on my own and with travel groups, plus a considerable knowledge of Thailand, which laid a foundation for the business related to tourism and hospitality. Besides, being involved with tourists, showing the venues I enjoy, and sharing my Thai experiences, gives me a lot of satisfaction. Many of our guests have become my good friends. This Website will help in making new ones.
Since graduation, I have been thrilled by computers and I.T. technologies, which served as my hobby. Having more than a decade's experience in the reception of tourists in Thailand, brought up the thought of extending a helping hand to assist visitors in discovering what this amazing kingdom is about. That's how I got an aspiration to hit the books and to design the Website, to promote the authentic Oriental kingdom as a truly exotic and amazing destination for unforgettable holidays, tours, and vacations.
It takes hard work and time to transform ideas into a quality presentation, as the Web is a relatively new, and yet rapidly expanding media. At present, the Web is still to a great extent bounded by the issues of reliability and technical limitations.
Website Design and NavigationOn this occasion, I would like to express my views on the Web media, which ain't just extended communication alternatives, either visual or spoken, but in fact, unfolded new ways to engage people from faraway places, allowing one to interact with the other. Albeit the fact that the Web makes it easy to hide behind any mask, I've decided to post my photo (see above), so that my acquaintances may recognize me, despite my lost face being on the line. Therefore, while willing to accept criticism, it would be my privilege to encourage you to express your opinion in our Guestbook, to avoid making things up, as at times, seems to happen these days. Have you given a thought to the possibility that some sites have been pulling strings? After all, th4u.com was created for travelers by people who treasure Thailand and love to travel. The design of our website should be considered a work in progress, as we're constantly trying to improve, add more features, and utilize newly developed Web applications. The actual content of the site is made with a combination of HTML, DHTML (dynamic HTML), Java, Perl, CGI, PHP, JavaScript, and other scripts and technologies. The site is viewable by all common browsers, but it is best viewed and functioned on the latest browser versions with Java Software installed. Come back with the latest version of Google Chrome, Firefox, or Microsoft Edge to see the difference. To utilize all the website's features, both Java and JavaScript must be enabled in the browser's preferences.
If you need knowledgeable and reliable webmasters, review our Web Master Services.
Or else, submit your site's URL to Thailand & Travel Web Directory of Cool Links. Well, it's my pleasure to welcome you to Thailand for YOU™ à±¼ www.th4u.com.
Hopefully,to post soon, we will be greeting you as our guests in Thailand. Till then, farewell. Michael Willion
