We highly recommend Artty, we had an amazing time, he was very knowledgeable and interesting, we learnt so much about history and local customs. Artty had great stories, he was engaging and funny. We visited a range of places and Artty was very helpful when my husband lost his wallet, luckily it was found. He gave excellent recommendations including a great local restaurant after our tour. Thank you so much.
Araya was phenomenal, so easy to talk to and excited to share about her faith, city, and thoughts. Excellent way for travelers to talk to a local about how regular folks experience religion in Thailand.
We did two tours with Piya and learned so much from her. We visited a few temples in Bangkok on the first day, and were lucky enough to get to see and hear the monks chanting at Wat Suthat. Then we spent the day at Ayutthaya, and had a delicious lunch at a local restaurant. We had the absolute best time, Piya's friendly, knowledgeable, and so well-organized. We covered so much more than we ever could have on our own, from tucked-away local spots to must-see landmarks, all with thoughtful explanations and fun stories along the way. Piya handled every detail—from transportation to timing—with such ease that we could just relax and enjoy the experience. This was a highlight of our trip, and we’ll be talking about it for years. Don’t hesitate—book Piya and enjoy a day you won’t forget!
Our day with Tony was the perfect mix of culture, local sights, and personal connection. We began by walking through Bangkok’s local streets, getting a feel for daily life and hidden gems most visitors miss. We then visited a quiet local temple, where Tony shared insights into Thai traditions and Buddhist practices in a way that was both informative and interesting. Afterwards, we hopped in a tuk tuk and made our way to the colorful flower markets—a feast for the senses. We crossed the river by ferry to Wat Arun, where Tony brought the temple’s history and construction to life. It was a magical moment, especially as we explored the ceramics on the outside of the temple. Finally, we caught the ferry back across the Chao Phraya, taking in the city one last time before saying goodbye to Tony. Tony’s knowledge, warmth, and love for Bangkok made the day feel personal and unforgettable. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to experience the real Bangkok.
