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 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.

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!

Wir hatten eine wunderbare Tour mit Araya. Wir fuhren zu einem sehr schönen Markt, wo sie uns viel über die einheimischen Speisen verraten hat. Danach konnten wir uns aussuchen, welche Speisen wir verkosten wollten. Es hat uns viel Spaß gemacht, war sehr abwechlungs- und lehrreich. Markttour

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

She is a great and wonderful person who has a fantastic knowledge and understanding of the city she showed us, and while she tought us about the city she also gave us generous insights into the cultural aspects of what we saw and learned about.

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 family of 2 adults and 2 kids really enjoyed our tour of the grand palace, some temples, a flower market and a food market 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!

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

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.
