I had the absolute pleasure of spending a full day in Ayutthaya with Tuangtip, and the entire experience was exceptional from start to finish. It felt more like spending the day with a knowledgeable friend than being on a tour. Tuangtip crafted a beautifully personalised itinerary, including a private river boat tour that gave a completely different perspective of the ancient city. Cruising along the water, passing temples and local life, was a serene and unforgettable experience. Exploring the ruins on foot felt like stepping back in time. Tuangtip’s storytelling brought Ayutthaya’s rich history to life in a way that no guidebook ever could. One of the standout moments was watching Roti Sai Mai being made—such a unique experience—and eating it fresh afterwards made it all the more special. We also stopped at a local restaurant for lunch, far from the usual tourist spots. The food was delicious, and it was great to be somewhere that felt authentic and relaxed. It was a truly personal, insightful, and memorable day. I’d recommend Tuangtip to anyone looking to discover Thailand in a deeper, more meaningful way.
I was hesitating taking the trip to the floating and the train market considering it too crowded and too touristy. But with our local guide Nat everything went very smooth and the experience was very pleasant and interesting. He knew what was the best spot to watch the train, to buy souvenirs, to have lunch, to park the car. Nat speaks very vey good English as he lived abroad for over 20 years.
We went on a 6 hour outing with Nat to the Damnoen Saduak Floating Market and the Maeklong Railway Market. Not only is he an excellent tour guide, he is such an interesting person to talk with. We both felt as if we had made a new friend by the end of the tour. He knew where to go for good seats to see the train and got us to the market before it was insanely busy. And then took us to a fantastic place for lunch. Hotel pick up and drop off in a comfortable air conditioned car. What a great day with some great memories!
Piyaporn was very knowledgeable about Ayutthaya and explained us a lot about Buddhism. Her tour was very informative and enjoyable.
