Chef Hnoi has been a wonderful tour guide. She gave us ideas on where we could explore but also let us decide what to do. Chef Hnoi was so much fun to walk around with. She told us lots of Information about the city and recommended brilliant cafes. Thank you so much Hnoi for a brilliant time in Bangkok! A wonderful bespoke family tour - you see in for a great time if you are lucky enough to have Hnoi! Bangkok fun

As a family we do not tend to book tours but as we were visiting Thailand for the first time I decided to explore a day tour with a guide. Someone recommended WithLocals so I began to explore what was on offer in Bangkok. As a family who likes to learn about culture and also food, I was drawn to Chef Hnoi. She tailor made a day tour for us to have both a cultural tourist experience as well as visiting her local market for a culinary treat. From start to finish she was all I could have hoped for in a guide. Knowledgeable, full of interesting facts, she aimed the day at the correct pace and she took great photos of us the whole day so we can look back and remember the day. The food tour around her local market was a particular highlight as we would have never found or experienced it without her. We will be recommending her to our friends and definitely booking her again when we return to Bangkok. The Best Day in Bangkok

It was absolutely a pleasure to have met Chef Hnoi for the food tour. She is very knowledgeable about Thai cuisine and generously shares the area where she was born and grew up with us. Not only have we tried the authentic Thai curry as well as learnt the local way of eating it, but we also tasted several local snacks, which are packed with flavors. We even visited the market on another day as we just can’t get enough of those dishes. I can highly recommend this tour to anyone who really wants to know the authentic Thai cuisine. Chef Hnoi is definitely the one that can give you a forgettable culinary experience. Thank you very much for the great time. Best culinary experience in Bangkok ever!

What an amazing experience! Not only is Chef Hnoi a fantastic guide, but as a chef she has deep knowledge of food and had us try things multiple ways to enhance the experience. She took us round an area you would only only about if you were local and we tried some fantastic food: pad Thai, amazing soup, mango sticky rice and sever yummy snacks! Thai food is the best. Having lived in the US and Mexico for many years Chef Hanoi’s English is perfect and she is a delight to talk to about life in Bangkok. If we come back we will be doing another tour with her for sure! Best day ever!

Spending time with Hnoi, learning from her vast food and cultural knowledge was such a great experience. She is so wise and personable, it felt as if she could have been an auntie of mine. I learned and tasted so much from Hanoi and wish her and her mom a happy healthy year!My long lost auntie

This is one of the most confusing reviews I’ve had to write — and the reason is quite simple: we had a lovely tour that we truly enjoyed, led by a wonderful guide whom we deeply appreciated, but we didn’t exactly get what we had asked for. We had specifically requested a tour that would resemble a food tour. While we did buy food from three different places, we only ate at one of them during the tour — the other two we ended up eating back at our hotel after the tour had finished. That was the only part we didn’t really enjoy. Apart from that, Chef Hnoi was an excellent guide. She spoke very good English, answered all of our questions, showed us some beautiful and interesting parts of the city, and every recommendation she gave about Bangkok turned out to be spot on. We definitely recommend her as a guide for a memorable experience in Bangkok!Όμορφη εμπειρία!

Chef Hnoi provided us with a wonderful tour of the Grand Palace, Wat Pho, a long boat ride and more for a great introduction to Bangkok. She managed the pace well to suit our family of 4 adults and 3 children, and provided commentary to assist the kids learn as well as the adults. She provided great information on local history and culture. Chef Hnoi ensured our family memories of our short Bangkok stay are enhanced by pointing out great photo points and also capturing some great photos of the family with wonderful backgrounds for us. We really enjoyed the tour and would strongly recommend Chef Hnoi to others.Wonderful Family Experience

We had a 16hr layover between flights. We wanted to see some unique sights around Bangkok during our short visit. So I arranged a tour with Chef Hnoi. She was very prompt in meeting us at the airport. Hnoi had the whole day planned perfectly. But she was also flexible to include whatever we wanted to do. We rode the train into the Mae Klong station markets. Visited a temple held up by trees and then took a boat ride to the floating markets. We enjoyed looking around. By then temperatures were soaring to 36 degrees so we decided to end our day at the MBK shopping mall in Bangkok. Hnoi had organised a fantastic private car for our travels and the comfy seats and safe driver were perfect for some weary travellers. Hnoi speaks perfect English and is willing to accommodate your every need. Highly recommended.Perfect cultural experience of Bangkok
