Get the most out of your layover in Bangkok!

This was a really great experience, especially since my 4 teenagers can sometimes lose interest fast. Not this time! The day had just enough enough switching of activities to keep everyone happy as we didn't stay in any one place (or boat) too long. The van they picked us up in couldn't have been nicer - I mean it was first class! At the floating market, the canal boat ride we took before we switched to a paddle boat for the floating market was really nice - we enjoyed seeing the different 'neighborhoods' and we saw several huge monitor lizards. I do feel like going with With Locals made the experience better than most of those I have done with Get Your Guide or Viator. It was the little things like Piyaporn taking the initiative to grab things for us at the floating market (that she paid for) like bananas fried in coconut milk, coconut ice cream, mango sticky rice, etc. She would just grab something and say "Try this!". Or the cold wet towels when we got back in the van at the end of the day to head home. And the super nice driver we had. And I'm not sure if it happens on every booking, but we also got to make a quick stop (on the canal tour) at a property with some amazing old Chinese boats and some of the most beautiful large Thai carvings I have seen since arriving. I wasn't sure if driving an hour and half from Bangkok would be worth it but it totally was. I've never seen anything like the floating market and when you couple that with canal tour, the railway market and coconut farm - it was a total yes for us. And I would absolutely book with With Locals again.

Artty and his driver Lou were great. They picked us up from the airport and drove us around to check out some temples and markets. We had a layover at an odd time but Artty made it work for us anyway. They brought us to eat at a delicious local spot when we got hungry. They were very kind and funny. 100% would recommend them for anyone wanting a knowledge guide.

We had a realy fantastic day out toghether with Piyaporn. She was a very nice person and know the area and the people. We are glad we choose to get a personal guide that only have focus to teach us about what we experience. We have a big comfortable van with a good driver for us self. Well worth the money.

My husband and I flew into Bangkok for a day trip. Artty was already at the airport ready to pick us up and get the excursion going. We had a set itinerary however we were not expecting to get the extensive background and information regarding every stop we went to. Being a private tour we had the luxury of rearranging stops and adding stops too which were a delightful bonus. Artty was very witty, you can feel his love and pride for his culture and city, and it felt like we were visiting a friend and he taking us around town. He brought us back to the airport on time as well. My husband and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND touring with him. He far exceeded our expectations and made our trip to Bangkok an extraordinary, excellent, unforgettable, magical experience. Not only touring Bangkok was the experience, Artty and his driver were an experience too!
