Hi there! Nice to meet you

I'm a Tour Guide with a Premium License and special Palace license. My favorite is not only traveling, but also cooking and tasting new dishes from all over the world, especially traditional dishes from other countries.

I grew up in a traditional small village in the Isan region of Thailand. I have a lot of local experiences that I would love to share with you, given the opportunity. Local traditional life is in my blood.

My other loves apart from Thai history and food are a dark roasted cup of coffee or a cold glass of Guinness ☕😍.

I can also pass on many hints and tricks on local ways to help make your holiday even more enjoyable, such as how to best explore and find some exciting hidden places by yourself.

I am a very keen amateur photographer (it is my favorite hobby), and I hope I will be able to help you get the very best shots to make a perfect memory of your trip.

As a very traditional Thai Buddhist, I will be able to provide some interesting background and information on Thai Buddhist ways and practices.

I specialize in providing customized tours based on your specific needs. Just let me know what you would like to see and leave the rest to me. This service can be really helpful to fit as much as possible into your valuable holiday time.

I can't wait to share all my knowledge & experiences with you and to show you how WONDERFUL Thailand is! As the quote says, it really is the 'Land Of Smiles'. 😊

Book me as your private guide and let me give you unforgettable experiences & memories as a Friendly Tour Guide In Thailand.😊😉

I recently visited Bangkok with a local guide who was both friendly and charming. The tour was well-organized, smooth, and very enjoyable. Thanks to her knowledge and positive attitude, I was able to discover the city in a pleasant and engaging way. Highly recommended!Visiting BKK with Moddy

Moddy was a phenomenal guide. Prior to the tour, she was quick to respond and catered a very robust custom tour schedule for my friends and I. Throughout the day, Moddy was a wealth of information, often providing answers to questions we were already thinking about. Moddy’s passion for her Thai culture was evident during her tour! During the tour Moddy even pivoted to allow some time for us to grab snacks at the local market and step to an indoor textile museum to cool off for a bit. Moddy was a joy to have as a guide and I recommend her to anyone looking. Bubbly, informative and funny!

Since making my booking Moddy kept me up to date with where we'd be going, what to see, the significance and history of the sites. Her enthusiam is certainly catching and her knowledge very impressive. She was great company and able to answer any questions I had, really knew what she was talking about and added a touch of humour with her infectious laugh! I thoroughly recommend Moddy as a guide especially for someone with no prior knowledge of what we were seeing. Many highlights but I do have to add rooftop drink, sunset and photo of Wat Arun. Afternoon Royal Palace and Temples visit

Moddy was the best tour guide a solo traveler (or anyone) could ever ask for. Not only is she incredibly knowledgable, she was very kind, thoughtful and helpful. As soon as I was interested in a solo tour, I first contacted Moddy via WithLocals. My priority was to see Wats and to receive a blessing from a Buddhist Monk. She provided me with the proper information to help guide my decision. As soon as I received her friendly description of what my personalized tour would be, I booked it immediately on the website to secure my time with Moddy. Because I was far from the meeting area, Moddy arranged to meet me at my local train station. My train station was 1.5 hours away from where she lived. This in itself showed me Moddy's dedication and care to ensure my personalized tour would be a positive experience. She then showed me how to use the transit system, we even took a boat down a canal! It was very exciting. Throughout the tour, she explained to me the history of Buddhism and the Kingdom of Thailand. I learned so much. Moddy is a Historian who had answers to my many questions and took the time to take my photo during key moments of the trip. During the Wat visits, she ensured that I received my Blessing from the resident Monk as well as guided me through Buddha principles, respect and prayer practices. She led me through a meditation and offered me encouragement to continue meditation practice. We also spent a lot of time walking and hiking staircases, the unexpected exercise was a welcomed bonus for me. I truly enjoyed my time educationally, emotionally and physically with Moddy. Afterwards, we had a lovely lunch where she took me to a local, family owned (Michelin starred) restaurant. The cost was very inexpensive and the food was fantastically delicious. If you ever need a tour in Bangkok, Moddy is the woman to take you. She is a 10 out of 10. I am lucky and grateful to have had her be my guide.

Moddy was a great guide through Bangkok/Chinatown. We went to nice places with authentic food. At all locations she told us interesting stories either about the food, bangkok or chinatown. Would definitely recommend doing this. Great time with excellent guide

We had super fun and educational time with Moddy. She is very knowledgeable and has great energy. Had to customize our tour because of our teenaged daughter. Moddy was very accommodating. We will book her again when we come back to Bangkok for more sightseeing! Great customized tour

Moddy was an excellent, knowledgeable, friendly guide, who showed us temples, Chinatown markets and street food... we saw and heard so much in 5 hours! We had a fantastic time, she was patient, explained so much about Buddhism, the history of the kings of Thailand, and how the markets work. She also told us useful things like how to navigate the traffic and find "clean" street food, as well as which places had Western style toilets 😅. I would highly recommend Moddy for any tour of Bangkok! We hope we can see her again on our next visit.Fantastic city tour with Moddy 😊

Moddy was a revelation -: of professionalism, enthusiasm, energy, customer orientation, flexibilty. We had only 1 day to spend in Bangkok. At 9am sharp, pickup at Hotel. We had a (all included) minivan + driver at our disposal all day. 1 stop: Emerald Buddha Temple, Grand Palace. Comprehensive introduction from Moddy into the Ramakien of Phra Rama. 2. stop: Khlong Lat Mayom Floating Market: wonderful and delicious (never mind James Bond and 'Man with a Golden Gun' absent). 3. Canal Tour (a must!), 4. Wat Pho, 5. Eagle Nest Roof top bar to end tour with a laaarge beer. 6. Drop off at airport. Advice: do not try that without Moddy: you would miss half of the impressions and almost all of the fun. We are very grateful to have met Moddy. We hope for another opportunity.Simply the Best!
