We had an amazing experience with Ruetai as our tour guide in Phuket. She was outstanding, attentive to every detail, and ensured everything went smoothly throughout our trip. Her warmth, professionalism, and local knowledge made our visit truly special. We highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a memorable and well-organized experience in Phuket!

A Truly Special Experience with Ae
We had an unforgettable experience with Ae as our guide during a 35+ km journey through Chiang Mai! From start to finish, Ae was warm, knowledgeable, and incredibly welcoming. She was fantastic with our kids (ages 7-14), keeping them engaged and entertained throughout the day. When my daughter had a little fall (her own fault!), Ae immediately sprang into action, having all the supplies needed to tend to her boo-boo.
The tour was fully customizable, and Ae took us to some truly unique locations that we never would have discovered on our own. We had a blast picking fruit with the locals, learning about traditional wood carving, playing with local children, and even seeing how sticky rice whiskey is made. Each stop was more fascinating than the last! The lunch spot she picked was a hidden gem—authentic, local, and absolutely delicious.
Ae’s perfect English and great sense of humor made the day even more enjoyable. The cultural lessons she shared with us stayed with us throughout the rest of our trip. We’ll definitely be saving her contact for our future trips to Chiang Mai. Highly recommend!

Lovely day exploring with Ruetai (Pai)
We stayed in Phuket at the Angsana Resort in October 2024. We booked a day tour with Pai to explore Old Town, a couple of city sights, and a half-day Elephant Sanctuary experience. This was one of my favorite days of the trip! Pai was very communicative prior to our scheduled day, and told us everything we needed to have ready. She was knowledgeable about so many topics and history of the places we visited, and was just fun to be around. She took photos for us and just made the day a pleasant overall experience. The van that took us around was also very nice and air cool on the hot day. We would definitely book something again with Pai if we ever come back and she's available.
