Unveiling the Mystery of Sakyant Tattoos (Sacred Tattoos) in Bangkok - f62e8f8a03c0f1862c6da87a03e3b6ed

If you book this experience, it means you are interested in receiving an authentic Sakyant (Sacred tattoo).

Let's disregard any misinformation you might have come across on the internet about Sakyant. There is a long-standing tradition and history behind Sakyant in this region that spans thousands of years. Sakyant masters prefer to keep the knowledge and techniques secret, as some tattoo shops might attempt to copy it without adhering to the sacred rules that we believe in.

During our experience, you will gain a comprehensive understanding of the sacred Sakyant culture and the historical significance behind it. Our team will explain and discuss how Sakyant has evolved to coexist with modern-day practices, as we make our way to our master's place.

We maintain high standards when selecting qualified masters, which include the following criteria:

1. Mastery of ancient languages such as Kmer or Lanna, as Sakyant inscriptions are not in Thai.

2. Artistic proficiency.

3. Strict adherence to hygiene practices, using new needles and ink for each guest.

4. The master should be willing to discuss and design Sakyant tattoos that match the specific needs and questions of our guests.

Finding a master who meets all these qualifications can be challenging.

Currently, we are collaborating with Arjan Fluke for this experience. Please note that the price of the experience does not include the cost of the Sakyant tattoo.

Sakyant tattoos start from 4,000 Baht. Upon arrival, you will have a variety of choices for Sakyant designs, and our host will assist you in finding one that suits you best!

Once you make a booking, we will provide you with the necessary information on how to block our master's schedule.

This is the plan

As a vacationer in a foreign city, I love it when you can do a tour individually with a guide to see exactly the things you want to see or the things suggested by the guide. It is also interesting when you get exactly the information that interests you during the trip and are not asked for in a large group. There is also the option of staying at any place with a private guide for as long as you want, and not being dependent on a group or a guide who has to force himself to work through all the points. I got exactly this individual and extremely interesting tour from Petz. I was guided through Bangkok as if by a friend. I saw a lot, heard a lot and got very close to the locals in many places. As soon as I am back in Bangkok, I will definitely plan another day with Petz.Perfect privte Tour, arranged by Petz

Petz was engaging and fluent in English. He was knowledgeable and enthusiastic about showing his culture. He was solicitous of our status as seniors with mild ambulation difficulties. He has a great sense of humor. He was interested in facts and stories about the USA. Wonderful informative guide

Petz is such a sympathetic, authentic guy. Even days before our arrival to Bangkok he allready provided us with great informations. The night of our Tour we were in constant contact. I Made a mistake and our Taxi dropped us at wrong place, but Petz saved US and picked us up. We then expolored a totally non touristic quarter where we tried different street food and all was great. We ended up in a Bar with live music and only Thai guests. Very authentic and what a great First night in Bangkok. Petz is such a great guy ! Danke Schön! Susanne und Marc Great individual tour

We recently had the pleasure of taking this excellent tour of Bangkok which focused on exploring the city's monasteries and amazingly we also got the privilege to meet and chat with a monk. The experience was truly unforgettable and provided a unique perspective on the city's rich cultural and spiritual heritage. Our guide, Petz, provided us with a wealth of information about the city’s history and significance, and we were able to admire the stunning architecture and intricate details of the temple's structures and artifacts. We had the opportunity to learn more about the daily life of monks and how they contribute to the community through their spiritual practices and social outreach initiatives. One of the highlights of the tour was our visit to a monastery where we were able to meet and talk with a monk. We prayed with him and received a special blessing. Enjoyable too was a detailed walk around Wat Sacket, the Golden Mount Temple. Our guide was able to answer all our questions. We ended the tour with a wonderful boat trip, sharing our journey with friendly locals, getting to see how colourful Bangkok life for residents truly is. Petz was on time, professional and spoke excellent English. It was a real pleasure to spend time with him and he gave us lots of insider tips about what to do with the remainder of our holiday. If you want a unique once in a lifetime experience - take this tour! A day we’ll never forget. Thank you! A magical day!

Vi nød turen rundt i byen og følte os som gode venner med guiden. Der har tid til snak og spørgsmå l og vi fik set spændende steder på en afslappet måde. Tidspunktet passede os godt, vi oplevede aftensstemning og fik lækker mad. Det kan bestemt anbefales.fantastisk tur

My absolute favorite thing that I’ve done during my week in Bangkok. It felt like I was amongst friends, even though I was a solo traveler. I got to see such amazing parts of the city (which I would never have seen on my own) within such a short span. Highly recommend and Petz was so thoughtful and knowledgeable!Best tour to discover Bangkok

I booked this experience with Petz a few hours before it started. He was very easy to communicate with and was accommodating. He is a great guide and kept everything interesting. He knows about some really awesome places and ways to see them better than you normally would. I recommend!! Highly recommend!

Petz was an amazing host that was very organized, punctual, friendly, and knowledgable of everything on his tour. We felt like we had special access to experiences that you would not have had if you tried it on your own. Even knowing what we were going to do ahead of time, would never compare to the service and knowledge that he provides you. He adds a very personal touch and this to me is everything. Thank you Petz for a wonderful tour and for making our time in Bangkok special.Amazing experience

More about me

I have been working as a professional tour guide for seven years. I published seven hard copied traveling guide books.

I was in Newspaper when I hosted Hollywood star "Brook shields". However I do not like to bring people to touristic areas at all.

I have created many successful tours in Bangkok from a hidden places to visit , food tour , secret of tattoo and transgender woman , and nightlife tour. I love to meet new people and have a god time together. I believe I could learn from people of different background around the world. And that is my passion.

My favorite places in Bangkok are where the local Thai love to go. That would be no tourist at all except you.
