Araya was an outstanding guide throughout our visit. She demonstrated impressive knowledge of the places we explored, providing detailed explanations that made each site come alive with meaning. Her politeness and professionalism were remarkable, and beyond that, we had a genuinely engaging discussion as she raised my interest with thoughtful insights. Thanks to her, the experience was both informative and enjoyable.Knowledgeable, Polite and Engaging Guide

We had such an amazing experience with our Bangkok temple, river taxi, and street snacks tour! Ms Nok was absolutely wonderful—she was warm, knowledgeable, and made the day so enjoyable. She went above and beyond to help us with our three-year-old son, making sure he was comfortable and included throughout the tour. We learned so much about Thai culture, history, and daily life thanks to her thoughtful explanations and stories. The mix of temples, river travel, and local snacks made it both authentic and unforgettable. Highly recommend her to anyone visiting Bangkok!Excellent tour❤️

I was really happy with my tour with Nok. We talked and walked for four hours, took a river ferry and a tuk tuk, and I tried a wide range of amazing Bangkok food. We walked a bunch of different neighbourhoods, starting with an informative walk around the big temple complex Wat Ratchanatdaram, and finishing with the flower markets. Nok is a lovely person, great company, and an informative guide. She introduced me to so much outstanding Thai food, and great family run food businesses. I liked it that she was very responsive to my interests and what I wanted to do. Thanks so much Nok!

Ayara is a nice person. However the evening tour she organised was not designed for guests staying in hotel located city center (Sukhumvit, Asok, etc). On a 3 hours tour, we spent 40mn in transport including crowded underground at rush hours . Not efficient . The rest is by Tuk Tuk going from one place to the other. Also don’t bother with Chinatown in the evening , it has lost its soul and is more like a Disney park nowadays …the rest of the tote was fine including flowers market. For us considering what we paid it was below average.Too much time spent in transport

I was able to take pictures at my own pace and try some new delicious food (like fresh durian fruit)! She was friendly and talkative and provided a great experience ! I would highly recommend booking tour with Nok and I had a great day because of her ! Chris M Great friendly tour around Bangkok!

Our evening with Nok was truly wonderful. To celebrate my husband's birthday, she created a special food tour centered around his favorite dish, Laab. We were so touched that she also brought a small gift. The tour took us to three fantastic locations, from a small food stall to a proper restaurant. Nok is an incredibly accommodating, funny, and interesting person. She is also genuinely kind and a pleasure to be around. Throughout the tour, she taught us a great deal about Thai culture and language. This experience was a major highlight that enriched our trip to Thailand. We would absolutely do it again! Thank you, Nok.The Laab Food Tour with Nok

From the moment we met Araya we knew we were going to have a fantastic afternoon. She explained where we would be going, asked us about any allergies etc. and took us to some wonderful local eateries you would probably not find or even feel comfortable visiting if you didn't know what to ask for. We discovered some local foods which Araya herself loves and visited the street food vendors she trusts. We also learned about some local history and used both the metro and TukTuks to get about. 10 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Wonderful, Memorable Tasting Tour

Me and my two grown daughters had a lovely and exciting day out of Bangkok with Nok. We visited the train market, the floating market and then she even gave us to and extra experience by taking us to the mangrove forest and seeing the swimming monkeys. Nok is very sweet to talk too and we experienced so much in just one day. We only had two days in Bangkok so I’m really happy I booked the trip with a private guide to get the most out of it. I give my best recommendations 😁Great day out of Bangkok

Araya is a very knowledgeable guide, at the same time able to get "dry" historical information across in an entertaining and didactic way. Also, I learned a lot of individual life background and every day life in Bangkok. Visiting the Or Toe Kor food market and joint lunch after the tour with the public transport boat was a great way of finishing the 1/2 day tour. I can only recommend a guided tour with Araya.Informative and entertaining day!

We had an absolutely wonderful evening with our guide, Araya. From the very beginning, she was incredibly friendly, helpful, and welcoming, making us feel right at home in bustling Bangkok. Araya took us to authentic local eateries we would never have found on our own, giving us a true taste of Thai cuisine far away from the typical tourist spots. But the evening was about much more than just delicious food. Araya shared fascinating insights about Bangkok’s culture, traditions, and everyday life, all told with great enthusiasm and a fantastic sense of humor. Her stories and energy made every moment enjoyable and memorable. Thanks to Araya, we experienced Bangkok through the eyes of a local, and it was unforgettable. Highly recommended for anyone who wants a genuine, flavorful, and fun introduction to the city!Fun, Food and Facts with Araya in Bangkok

We thoroughly enjoyed our day in Ayutthaya with Nok. Communication before the tour was prompt and clear. Nok was flexible with the itinerary for the day, including the start time and the specific stops we'd make. On the day of the tour, Nok arrived right on time. She was a wealth of information about history, culture, food, and traditions. Our group included five people from three generations, and Nok was able to keep everyone engaged. She gave us ample time to explore while still ensuring we stayed close enough to the schedule to ensure we returned on time. Nok walked us through the market and introduced us to some amazing Thai snacks as well. We'd definitely recommend Nok to our friends and family!Great day exploring Ayatthuya with Nok

Nok is such a nice person, she made the day really memorable for us all. We definitely couldn't have created the itinerary ourselves, we saw so much in a half day but yet the pace was perfect. The snacks we had in the food market was rhe nicest food we had in Bangkok. The tour was worth every penny. Thanks Nok! Excellent tour with Nok

From the moment we met Jojo in the hotel lobby, we knew we were in for something special. We had hoped for an experience beyond the usual sightseeing—and Jojo delivered big time. Our wish list? Temples, hidden klongs, charming backstreets of Bangkok—and to get around like locals, on boats and tuk-tuks. Jojo clicked instantly with our boys (11 and 14). Within minutes, there were high-fives, laughs, and that rare kind of energy that makes kids feel like part of the adventure. Meanwhile, we parents could just soak it all in—Jojo’s stories, insights, she made it feel like we had a local friend showing us her Bangkok. The whole experience was effortless to plan—booking was smooth, the itinerary was customized and Jojo managed to exceed our expectations. And the grand finale? Cruising back to our hotel in a longtail boat during a torrential downpour—completely drenched and grinning from ear to ear. Unforgettable. Temples, hidden klongs of Bangkok

Jojo is the most wonderful guide and we can not recommend her enough. She customized the tour to all of our wishes and we had a perfect experience from booking until way after the end of our tour. She was very well organized, knowledgeable and very attentive to all of the members of our family of five. We tried lots of different snacks and food we would not have found by ourselves and had many yummie and funny moments. Even after our tour she helped us, when a different Guide from another company didn’t show up the day after. She helped us finding a new tour starting less than an hour later and saved our day. Wonderful guide and a very very kind human being with a wonderful personality. Book a tour with her if you can, you won’t regret it!Most wonderful guide - best day in Bangkok

We had a super short window in Bangkok and were honestly melting in the crazy heat, but Nok made our half-day temple tour an absolute breeze. She managed to get us through all three of the key temples, never once rushing us—even though we were slow thanks to the heat and our constant photo stops 😅 What really stood out was how thoughtful and kind she was: always checking if we had enough water, making sure we had bathroom breaks, even waiting patiently while we tried not to melt—and feeding us too! She even extended her time with us without a fuss. Just a genuinely warm and generous person. Nok isn’t just a guide—she’s someone you feel like you’ve known forever. She told us so many beautiful little stories about Thai culture, not just the textbook stuff, and you can really tell she loves her country and loves sharing it. She answered our hundreds of questions about Buddhism, Thai customs, daily life—you name it—and was genuinely curious about our culture too, which made the whole experience feel like a great conversation with a new friend. If you’re booking a tour in Bangkok, book it with Nok. She’s the best. 💛 Highly, highly recommend!Bangkok in the Heat — Nok Made it Easy!
