Fabulous Solo Tour With Tuangtip
My Highlights and Hidden Gems Tour with Taungtip was the perfect tour of Bangkok and I highly recommend a tour with her. Taungtip speaks very good English that’s easy to understand and she’s very knowledgeable and kind. Our meeting stop was easy to find but I was late because of taxi issues, and she was understanding and patient about it. We started our tour in the most beautiful historic indoor market with individual unique stalls of royal and historic foods. I tried several delicious snacks and even bought some for the hotel. Taungtip bought some for me to try and explained the history of the various stalls and shops and the vendors were all so friendly. The upper floors were shops of Thai silks and brocades, and traditional celebration costumes, just beautiful. Taungtip took me to the flower market, produce market, on a tuk tuk, the boat ferry, the Wat Aron and all the while explained interesting history and facts. She was so kind with the people we encountered and we laughed and smiled continuously. I didn’t want our tour to end but she gave me great information on how to continue my day at the Grand Palace, Queen Sirikit Museum of Textiles (free with Palace ticket), Wat Pho with the reclining Buddha, and end the day with traditional dance at the Royal Palace (which was also free with my Palace ticket). I cannot recommend this tour with Taungtip enough! I would have toured with her again if I’d had time. Not all my Bangkok tour guides were special like her.

Had a great time!
We really had a great time with Saravarint touring Bangkok! We were here on business and had an afternoon to spare, so we booked a last minute tour. We met up with her and first asked if we could do some shopping to get some souvenirs for our wives. She took us to a place where the locals shopped and found us some good deals. Then we toured a few outdoor markets before heading to see the temples. She was very friendly and funny. We really appreciated her knowledge of the Thai history and culture. I would recommend her for your visit to Thailand!

A Brilliant Local Experience in Bangkok
I found Tuangtip through the Withlocals website while planning a short solo trip to Bangkok. Wanting to make the most of my limited time—and take the stress out of planning—I was also looking for a bit of company and, most importantly, to feel safe while exploring the city.
Tuangtip was the perfect guide. She took me through the heart of Bangkok, showing me stunning temples, bustling markets, and hidden gems along the way. It wasn’t just sightseeing; hearing the stories and history behind each place brought the city to life in a way no guidebook ever could. I genuinely felt more like a traveller than a tourist.
What made the experience so special was how personal it felt. Having a one-to-one tour made me feel truly seen and valued—it wasn’t just a standard route or script. Tuangtip was warm, knowledgeable, and completely accommodating throughout.
I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking to explore Bangkok in a meaningful and authentic way. It’s the kind of experience that stays with you.

The authentic Bangkok tour.
Booked for locals tour with Artty and wow what a gentleman. From introducing himself online at time of booking 2 weeks out and then helping us find him once we were there.
The 3 hours flew past. There was so much information to absorb, Artty knows his town. It was a a privilege to have him share some of the places that are very personal touch him. It was definitely a Locals tour. We saw his old school and places he played as a kid. Just that alone was insanely awesome.
We definitely didn't walk as fast as him 😂and we was very good with slowing down to our pace. Thank you for keeping us hydrated as well 🙏.
We learnt so much and are so thankful to have been able to see this authentic glimpse into Bangkok, the now and the past.
