Meet Paan
Born and raised in bustling Bangkok, Paan’s journey into hospitality began right after high school. He spent six years working in Thai restaurants overseas, learning the art of service and connecting with people from all over the world.
In early 2019, everything changed when Paan tried scuba diving for the first time — and instantly fell in love. The sense of freedom and the beauty of the underwater world hooked him right away. From that moment, he knew he wanted to dive deeper — literally and figuratively.
He started training in the pools of Bangkok, then moved on to open water dives in Rayong, before venturing on day trips and liveaboard adventures. Eventually, his passion led him to Koh Tao — Thailand’s diving paradise — where he committed to becoming a professional. There, he trained in technical diving, earned his instructor credentials, and began teaching full-time. Working alongside some of the island’s most experienced dive pros, Parn has continued to grow as both a diver and a mentor.
Diving with Paan
Paan is passionate about all things technical diving and loves sharing that excitement with others. He’s known for experimenting with gear setups and finding ways to make dives smoother and safer. Always curious, he keeps up with the latest developments in dive technology and best practices. His big goal? To become Thailand’s number-one technical diver.
When he’s not planning a decompression dive, you’ll often find Paan behind a camera capturing the beauty of the underwater world — or geeking out over his other passions, like JDM car culture and gaming. (If you ever spot an internet café near the dive shop, there’s a good chance Paan’s in there after a long day underwater!)
