See Thailand Through the Eyes of a Local
Explore the city alongside your private local guide and discover authentic Thai life beyond the tourist traps.
Ride through bustling streets in a tuk-tuk and glide along scenic canals in a traditional longtail boat—just like the locals do.
No scams!
We wanted to see the "more authentic" floating market experience and glad we booked the Thaka, Amphawa & Railroad market with Piyaporn. My sister and myself have been to Thailand before but have never been to the floating market and wanted a more 'local' perspective than just a chaperone between spots. Piyaporn talked about how the floating markets have changed with tourism and the times. We got to see the very touristy side of the Railroad market but also the more local side of Thaka market. The canal boat tour was a highlight. Piyaporn also catered to our interests in more local food (indulging in all the dried and salted seafood along the railroad market) and a delicious pad krapaow at Amphawa market. Note: The floating market experience might not be the same as the major tourist spot of Damnoen Saduak so set your expectations accordingly. This one felt a lot more relaxed, but you might not see as many vendors in boats and more along the sides of the canals (which I believe is more the reality of the floating markets these days). Overall, great experience and would do it again especially with Piyaporn.

A Beautiful way to spend a day in Bangkok
We had an unforgettable private tour through Bangkok with our amazing guide, Aoi. The experience started with a fun and breezy TikTuk ride through the bustling streets of Bangkok and Chinatown, followed by a visit to the vibrant flower market. From there, we boarded a private longboat and cruised along the river, passing riverside homes, local businesses, and temples. One of the highlights was stopping to feed the catfish—a surprisingly fun and memorable moment!
We also visited the Temple of the Reclining Buddha, which was even more impressive than we expected. Aoi guided us through the temple grounds, sharing the stories and meanings behind the statues, pagodas, and panels. She even pointed out a panel painted by her friend’s mother, which made the experience feel even more personal and special.
To wrap up the day, we enjoyed cool drinks at a rooftop bar with an incredible view of the river and Bangkok skyline. Throughout the tour, Aoi took tons of photos for us, helping us capture memories we’ll treasure.
This tour was the perfect way to end our time in Bangkok. When we return, we’ll absolutely book another tour with this company—and hopefully with Aoi again!

A great day out at Ayutthaya
My wife and I had a thoroughly enjoyable day trip to Ayutthaya with Piyaporn.
She obviously enjoys her work and was a fantastic guide. Great knowledge and historical background combined with excellent photography skills - she took some wonderful pictures of us!
Plus a lovely seafood lunch by the river.
Highly recommended!

A Leason in Thai History
For a Westerner, the history of Southeast Asia is complicated. Thailand is no exception. However, spending a day with Piya and exploring the amazing ruins of Ayutthaya provides a lot of insight into the the religious and political influences that were at work over the centuries. Piya is responsive, delightful, and knowledgeable. It was a fascinating and thoroughly pleasant day. I would recommend Piya to anyone looking for a nice adventure outside of the city.
