Hi there! Nice to meet you

Living here in Bangkok, Thailand for almost 30 years, but this city still has a lot more interesting places to explore. I studies English since I was 7 years old. Then, French when I was 15 years old. Since, it is infrequently to practice French here in Thailand, then it's a bit rusty accordingly. Loving to spend my weekend going to temples in Bangkok with friends for making the merit or even touring those splendid architectures and culture. Nothing better than have something delicious food after the tour and I know where the right spots are. Yoga is one of my favorite hobbies that I have to practice almost everyday. Not only Yoga but also Thai Classical Dancing is one of my passion as well.

We had a great time Araya on our first night in Bangkok! She was prompt and on time at the meeting spot. She shared the history of her country and the local community. She was very personable and friendly! She even gave us a little token Buddha as a gift!! You won’t be disappointed spending the day/evening with her! Foodie Tour

Nous avons passé deux très agréables heures avec Araya durant notre visite du Wat Pho. Très attentive et douce, ses explications étaient instructives et interessantes. Disponible tout le long de la visite, je ne peux que recommander Araya pour des visites en français de Bangkok.Agréable visite

Joining the food tour with Araya around Bangkok was one of the best decisions of my trip! From the moment we met, Araya’s enthusiasm and deep knowledge of Thai cuisine and culture shone through, making the experience both delicious and enlightening. We visited some of Bangkok’s most vibrant fresh food markets, where the colors, aromas, and energy were absolutely mesmerizing. Araya introduced me to a variety of unique and mouth-watering dishes, many of which I had never even heard of before. Each stop was carefully chosen and offered something different — from spicy street food favorites to delicate traditional sweets. What truly set this tour apart was the way Araya wove in the cultural and historical significance of each dish. She explained how food is deeply intertwined with Thai life, family traditions, and regional identities, giving every bite a story and deeper meaning. It wasn’t just about eating (though there was plenty of that!); it was about truly understanding and appreciating Thai culinary heritage. Araya’s passion was contagious. She answered every question thoughtfully and always had a smile on her face. If you want to taste authentic Thailand and learn about the heart and soul behind the flavors, I cannot recommend this tour with Araya highly enough. It was a great addition to my Bangkok visit and an experience I’ll be talking about for years to come!Culinary Adventure Through Bangkok’s Heart

We had a great time with Araya on our Bangkok street food tour. She did a great job explaining the history of the food, neighborhood, and Bangkok in general. She even went out of her way to make sure we arrived at our post tour destination safely. We would highly recommend Araya as a tour guide. Wonderful food tour

Der Besuch mit Araya auf dem Or Tor Kor Market war sehr interessant und wir durften sehr interessante und leckere Dinge kosten, gerade zum Start in den Urlaub ein guter Überblick für künftige Marktbesuche - sehr zu empfehlen, jederzeit gerne wieder mit Araya! :-)Kickstart in Thailands Küche

Araya a été adorable. Nous avons passé un très bon moment en famille grâce à elle. Nous la recommanderions et ferions appel à ses services, à nouveau, sans hésiter! A recommander sans hesiter!

A fascinating look into the origins of Buddhism including the everyday role it plays in the lives of the Thai people. The temples and statues are beautiful and the 344 steps up the Golden Mount are well worth the views awaiting at the top. Araya is a delightful guide - knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Fascinating tour
