Araya was a great host. We booked a street food tour to celebrate my birthday in Chinatown, and Araya tailored the tour to be around our hotel and food preferences. She wove the history of temples in Chinatown and Bangkok into her experience while enjoying delicious street food delights.

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 clicked with Araya right from the start. With our family of four, the youngest of whom is 13, we not only enjoyed many dishes but also learned a lot about the city and the neighbourhood in particular. Our youngest is a picky eater, so we were very surprised that he tried everything and liked almost everything. We definitely recommend Araya if you want to experience traditional Thai cuisine.Fantastic tour with a personal touch

Lovely evening walking around the area near Sathorn Pier. Araya was a wonderful guide, knowledgeable about the area and its history as well as the food and taking you to the places she likes to eat. The duck was amazing, the drunken noodles spicy and tasty; I would never have thought of trying congee but so glad I did. Thoroughly recommended.Great Evening, Great Food

Our food tour with Araya was an outstanding evening. Arayas choice of restaurants kitchens and dishes, which we never had visited and tried without her, was the best start for our Bangkok trip. She is such a friendly and lovely person and she gave us so many facts about the city and its history. An amazing experience

We really enjoyed our street food tour with Sudarat she showed us some great spots to get local street food and snacks . We even went back to some of the spots when we returned to Bangkok two weeks later. Can highly recommend Sudarat as a guide as she gives you enough information about the food and area and she’s very friendly. She even walked with us to the metro station to make sure we were on the right line to get back to our hotel.Great Street Food

My husband and I had a great night time walking/street food tour in Bangkok with Jojo. It is obvious how much Jojo loves showing guests around, and we truly appreciated all the little nooks and corners we got to explore while sampling some of the city's most delicious dishes. Thanks for a great evening!A wonderful exploration of Bangkok

(About local Apicha)

4 May 2025

To the point: Apicha is a super nice guy, interesting stories/conversationalist, knows His food and beverages (gives great recs), and cares about your experience. I just kicked back and relaxed while he showed me around. We ate, drank, and had a few laughs. Time well spent. For context: I have been lucky to travel all over the world. As a US child spending summers abroad with foreign grandparents, as a young person with a backpack, as an expat employee, and more recently as part of my career. So I’ve had almost every type of trip, tour guide, and independent traveler experience to be had. But until last week I had never been to Bangkok. And unfortunately my time was limited until my last evening. That said, I would hire him no matter what type of time / trip I was on (relaxed vacation or rushed) and trust him to manage the vibe. In a few hours we saw some of the city by Tuk Tuk, had some laughs eating bugs with other tourists met along the way, had some amazing food at unexpected places one, and had some more laughs with some local bartenders at a few good spots.Great intro to bangkok

We took a 3 hour, 5 tastings food tour and Jojo is everything you would want in a tour guide! She was very accommodating to our limited time schedule (even picked us up in our hotel), selected places and food items that matched our dietary needs and gave us the opportunity to try things we would not have known to eat on our own. We went to Chinatown and experienced local Thai and Chinese influenced street foods, beverages and sweets. We walked through many small neighborhoods and she explained the history and culture. It was a very active and delicious afternoon. Jojo is friendly and knowledgeable and so much fun to be with. We would definitely recommend her!!Perfect Bangkok Food Tour with Jojo

Wir hatten das große Glück, an der fantastischen Foodtour teilzunehmen, und was soll ich sagen? Es war einfach unglaublich!Araya war einfach perfekt – mit so viel Leidenschaft, Wissen und Charme hat sie uns nicht nur durch die kulinarische Welt Bangkoks geführt, sondern uns auch tief in die Geschichte des Viertels und der einzelnen Food-Spots eintauchen lassen. Obwohl wir schon oft in Bangkok waren, haben wir durch diese Tour völlig neue Einblicke und Perspektiven gewonnen – Eindrücke, die wir gerne schon früher gehabt hätten! Jede Station war sorgfältig ausgewählt, jedes Gericht ein Highlight, und die Erklärungen dazu waren so spannend, dass wir an ihren Lippen hingen. Besonders toll war, dass sie uns nicht nur durch die Tour geführt hat, sondern auch wertvolle Tipps für weitere Erlebnisse in Bangkok gegeben hat. Man merkt einfach, dass sie ihre Arbeit mit Herzblut macht! Wir können Araya von ganzem Herzen empfehlen – wer die Chance hat, eine Tour mit ihr zu machen, sollte sie unbedingt nutzen! Wir sind dankbar, eine so inspirierende und herzliche Person kennengelernt zu haben. Ganz klare 10/10 – einfach fantastisch! DANKE Araya💚 Ein unvergessliches Erlebnis

Apicha took us on a food tasting tour of the Chinatown market and was an excellent guide! He not only guided us to safe vendors, he also explained a lot about the Thai culture. We finished with a dinner in a very local restaurant which was amazing and definitely not something we could have found on our own. I only wish I had a bigger stomach!!Amazing night!

This tour was much more than a street food tour. I was expecting tasting the foods available in the many larfe street markets of Bangkok. Araya took us to local family owned restaurants and local markets. We tried a large variety of food we had never had, all of them delicious. She included historical and cultural information about each food and neighborhood. Araya was well informed, smart and kind. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour. More Than a Street Food Tour

Araya was a wonderful guide. We were a bit late because of traffic and she didn’t give us a hard time over it, as others might have. She brought us to plenty of different restaurants and food stalls while giving us local history facts. She also gave the leftover food we didn’t want to homeless folks nearby. Araya is an incredibly sweet person and a great embodiment of the ‘Land of Smiles.’ 10/10 experience, would highly recommend. Wonderful!

I had a wonderful experience with Kim. He was personable and you could tell he had trusting relationships with the vendors he worked with. The experience was more than just about food but of history and culture. We walked, took the local bus and a tuk-tuk to go enjoy different flavors and drink around the area. Not only did he talk about the history of the foods but also the historical significance of the locations of the vendors. As a single female client, he made me feel safe and welcomed. I strongly recommend his service.Food and cultural...a taste of Thailand
