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 Magical Trip to Ayutthaya
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.

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.
