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.

Araya was an outstanding guide throughout our visit. She demonstrated impressive knowledge of the places we explored, providing detailed explanations that made each site come alive with meaning. Her politeness and professionalism were remarkable, and beyond that, we had a genuinely engaging discussion as she raised my interest with thoughtful insights. Thanks to her, the experience was both informative and enjoyable.Knowledgeable, Polite and Engaging Guide

Araya was superb! Really enjoyed the explanation of some historical facts about Thailand, including the religious aspect. Afterwards, she went out of her way to direct us to the correct train station. Glad we did this tour!Absolutely Wonderful!

Ayara is a nice person. However the evening tour she organised was not designed for guests staying in hotel located city center (Sukhumvit, Asok, etc). On a 3 hours tour, we spent 40mn in transport including crowded underground at rush hours . Not efficient . The rest is by Tuk Tuk going from one place to the other. Also don’t bother with Chinatown in the evening , it has lost its soul and is more like a Disney park nowadays …the rest of the tote was fine including flowers market. For us considering what we paid it was below average.Too much time spent in transport

From the moment we met Araya we knew we were going to have a fantastic afternoon. She explained where we would be going, asked us about any allergies etc. and took us to some wonderful local eateries you would probably not find or even feel comfortable visiting if you didn't know what to ask for. We discovered some local foods which Araya herself loves and visited the street food vendors she trusts. We also learned about some local history and used both the metro and TukTuks to get about. 10 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Wonderful, Memorable Tasting Tour

Araya was a great host. We booked a street food tour to celebrate my birthday in Chinatown, and Araya tailored the tour to be around our hotel and food preferences. She wove the history of temples in Chinatown and Bangkok into her experience while enjoying delicious street food delights.

Araya is a very knowledgeable guide, at the same time able to get "dry" historical information across in an entertaining and didactic way. Also, I learned a lot of individual life background and every day life in Bangkok. Visiting the Or Toe Kor food market and joint lunch after the tour with the public transport boat was a great way of finishing the 1/2 day tour. I can only recommend a guided tour with Araya.Informative and entertaining day!
