Passion for travel has been in Willem’s blood since a young age. Being Dutch, his first explorations in Europe were on a bicycle. His career in the travel industry started with selling airline tickets at a student travel organization in the 1980s. He moved to Thailand in 1987 to further his career in the travel industry. He has been there ever since. Willem founded Khiri Travel in a small room of a Bangkok shop house in 1993, with a bold vision to establish a “one-stop travel shop for the Greater Mekong sub-Region”. 

Boss has been passionate about sustainability since his university days, where he was actively involved in a voluntary club and continuously updates his knowledge. His experience in sustainability advisory led him to become a Sustainability Coordinator, driven by the goal of creating real-world change in the travel industry.

Sofia is a Filipino/Singaporean mix but has been based in Thailand since 2006. She is passionate about animal welfare and sustainability related matters (beach clean-ups, volunteer teaching, etc.). Outside of Khiri, she spends her time hiking unseen destinations, trying out new cuisines and spending time with her two dogs.

She has previously volunteered as a teacher for Hill Tribe students in Tak, Thailand, and has been involved in numerous volunteer projects across the country. As a Khiri Reach Ambassador, Mai is able to actively participate in volunteer projects.

Hello, I am Nita. I have been actively involved in sustainability projects, volunteering, and an immersion program in Bali at Khiri. Outside of work, I’m passionate about fitness and engaged in social projects, especially through my role as a Khiri Reach Ambassador. Giving back to the community and creating a positive impact is something I value. This sense of responsibility extends to nature, where the issue of waste we leave behind feels endless. I will never stop raising my voice and spreading awareness to those around me. Every small effort counts, and together, we can make a world of difference.

I am Diana and I joined Khiri Travel in July 2023 and I am currently working as Senior Reservation & Contracting Executive. I have 10 years of experiences in travel & tourism industry. Even though I had interest in Sustainability, it was after joining Khiri Travel that I got the opportunity to actually see how it is being implemented into each tour that we operate. I am very much excited to be one of the Khiri Reach Ambassadors where I would get a chance to identify projects we could collaborate with and contribute to while continuously monitoring the progress of each project. I find it fascinating to see how tourism can contribute to making this planet a better place

I joined Khiri Travel in October 2021 and I am currently working as Senior Executive Accounting. Even though I am coming from a finance background, since high school days I have been working in several societies such as Red Cross School Circle, School Youth Club and School Life Saving Association. After joining Khiri Travel, I got the opportunity to travel around the country with our team and it was really interesting to see them creating new experiences while keeping in mind to contribute to the local communities and conserve the environment beyond just numbers. I am excited to be one of the Khiri Reach Ambassadors where I would get the opportunity to observe and monitor the progress with various projects that we are contributing to while doing more research to identify potential projects we could coordinate with in the future.
