Last friday, I was assigned by my boss to bring students in Australian English Language Course in Language Institute of National Defence Studies Instiitute, Royal Thai Armed Forces Headquarters to Bangpa-In Palace, Ayuthaya. This assignment made me feel bashful because I have never been a tourist guide before though I used to go there. Everyday before the travel day, I went to the library in the university near my house and borrowed a mountain of books and materials about Bangpa-In palace and studied them until I had an confidence that I can remember their information.
As the travel day came, I realized that the biggest problem I had to encounter is not lacking of knowledge, but it was the strategy to handle with tourists instead. While I was informing him the history or any information about everything in the palace, they paid their attention into photo shooting. Many times, I had to stop the group and ran back from the front to asked him keep going. Some people escaped from the group and went to drink a cup of coffee at coffee shop. These problems caused us going back to Bangkok later than the plan. However, it was my valuable experience for me to improve myself later.
