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!

We had a great time Araya on our first night in Bangkok! She was prompt and on time at the meeting spot. She shared the history of her country and the local community. She was very personable and friendly! She even gave us a little token Buddha as a gift!! You won’t be disappointed spending the day/evening with her! Foodie Tour

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.

Joining the food tour with Araya around Bangkok was one of the best decisions of my trip! From the moment we met, Araya’s enthusiasm and deep knowledge of Thai cuisine and culture shone through, making the experience both delicious and enlightening. We visited some of Bangkok’s most vibrant fresh food markets, where the colors, aromas, and energy were absolutely mesmerizing. Araya introduced me to a variety of unique and mouth-watering dishes, many of which I had never even heard of before. Each stop was carefully chosen and offered something different — from spicy street food favorites to delicate traditional sweets. What truly set this tour apart was the way Araya wove in the cultural and historical significance of each dish. She explained how food is deeply intertwined with Thai life, family traditions, and regional identities, giving every bite a story and deeper meaning. It wasn’t just about eating (though there was plenty of that!); it was about truly understanding and appreciating Thai culinary heritage. Araya’s passion was contagious. She answered every question thoughtfully and always had a smile on her face. If you want to taste authentic Thailand and learn about the heart and soul behind the flavors, I cannot recommend this tour with Araya highly enough. It was a great addition to my Bangkok visit and an experience I’ll be talking about for years to come!Culinary Adventure Through Bangkok’s Heart

I booked two tours with Nok while I was still at home in NZ, this is the first time I have used such a service and so was a little unsure what to expect. I also have a disability that can create mobility challenges (I use a walking stick) and was unsure also about how that would be accomodated. Nok took away any worries, the tour was at my pace and she was always highly aware of when I needed a break from walking, more water or something to eat. The two tours I went on were well worth the time and money and I could not have been happier. Nok is very knowledgeable and I was able to learn about local culture and history from someone enthusiastic about her country and work. I highly recommend Nok to guide you and especially if you have a disability. I highly recommend Nok to show you around

Nok is the BEST! Ok so watching her navigate the city, haggle pricing and being the best tourist ever was a joy. All while she is teaching us history, religious significance and a little Thai. I can say hello, thank you , no , yes & count to 3. Now I can’t help myself out of a pickle just yet but it is a start! Seeing the world through Nok’s eyes made me want to see more. Will definitely be booking with her on our next trip to Bangkok. The bestest Guide Nok!!!

A fascinating look into the origins of Buddhism including the everyday role it plays in the lives of the Thai people. The temples and statues are beautiful and the 344 steps up the Golden Mount are well worth the views awaiting at the top. Araya is a delightful guide - knowledgeable, friendly and helpful.

My daughter (9y) and I booked a tour with Jojo. We had good fun following her around Grand Palace and the flower market. My daughter really loved feeding the fish from the boat and the turtles at the temple. It was a very hot day and Jojo adapted the visit to our needs, including a stop for ice cream 😋. Thank you Jojo and enjoy Song Khran. 🎉100% recommended!

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

Nok has been wonderful with me and my 7 years old son. She made all the visits very convenient, was accommodating and knowledgeable about everything she showed us: both of us knew a lot more about Thai culture and history after the tour. On top of that Nok was incredibly sweet and got my son interested in all the temples until the end of the tour - which is no small feat! Thanks again Nok!Pleasant for parent and children alike

Araya was excellent. She has a wealth of knowledge about the history of Bangkok. She must have studied and prepared herself as she know the different rulers and their accomplishments and contributions to Bangkok's history. She is also very flexible in coordinating your tour making sure to cover the majority of the sights you want to see within the given time frames. She is also very calm and reassuring - we were together having a meal at the Icon Siam Mall when the earthquake hit Bangkok. Once we realized what was going on she calmly escorted ourselves out to safety. The building was swaying and I kept an eye on the ceiling making sure that it was safe to exit. Once outside she calmly went through the different alternatives on how to get me back to my hotel which was more than 5 miles away. Keep in mind the City in Bangkok was locked down. The rail and subway systems were closed, the taxi's weren't taking any customers, the motorbikes weren't taking any customers either. Traffic was at a standstill. We ended up taking a boat ride across the canal and walked back to the hotel after waiting to see if the subway or rail system would start up operations. The only system open that had moving traffic was the expressway. This overall experience was exciting and I was glad that Araya was with me the whole time. Thank youSee and Learn about Bangkok

It was such a pleasure exploring Bangkok and its hidden Gems with Nok. She was a fantastic guide and showed us real hidden gems (e.g. turtle feeding for our children in a temple), she explained Buddhist traditions so vividly and everything was perfectly organized (meetings, transportations, snacks …). Nok is so friendly, caring and full of knowledge, we highly recommend her! Real hidden gems with a wonderful guide.

Nok was very good at communicating on WhatsApp about our meeting point. She was always smiling, easy to understand and answered any questions our group of four had. We toured various districts, including the red light area and night food market, where she treated us to some delicious food and drinks. Unfortunately, we had signed up for this tour several months earlier and after many busy days of sightseeing, including an eight hour tour earlier the same day, we were quite tired, so ended the tour after two hours at 10:00 pm. No fault of Nok’s.Night walking tour of Bangkok

Araya was very kind. When at the floating market she was sure to find us the best deals on anything we were looking for. She went out of her way to welcome us. I do wish we could have shopped a bit more at railway market as well as be in the action ( like in one of the shops) when the train passed. Overall we felt well cared for and really enjoyed our day!!
