10 things you want to do in Thailand

  • Visit the Lungs of Bangkok

    Visit the Lungs of Bangkok

    High rise buildings and modern architecture are things that spring to mind when one thinks of Bangkok, but your local host can take you close to nature in the heart of the city.

    Bang Krachao, also known as the lungs of Bangkok, is a vast area of rainforest and swampland that could have you thinking you’re in a remote part of the Amazon rather than a sprawling metropolis. Your local host can guide you around the area on bike or by foot. Bicycles are available for rent so there’s no need to worry about taking one. There are many things to do in Thailand, but Bang Krachao provides a rare Oasis of nature in such a large city.

    Find secluded beaches in Phuket

    Thailand has some of the best beaches in the world and some of them are still hidden from the touristy crowds. Your local host can take you to a paradise beach setting far from the travellers, where only the locals usually go. Let them know what kind of scenery you like and they’ll bring you to the right spot!

    Locals know the best beaches for sunbathing, swimming or snorkelling, so you’ll get to do just what you wish to on your holiday. With few, if any, other people on the beach you get to fully appreciate the natural beauty, making this one of the most satisfying things to do in Thailand.

    Your local host will know the best places to eat and drink, as well as the best roof-top bars that offer a more sophisticated ambience with fantastic views of Pattaya Bay and the city below. Your guide will also know where to find the best bands, and the best deals, to help you have a truly memorable evening out.

  • Head out to the countryside

    Head out to the countryside

    Bangkok is known for its bustling streets and heavy traffic, but head out of the city and you will find that things tend to become much more idyllic. If you would like to experience the quieter, more traditional side of Thailand go with your local host on a small trip to the villages and countryside spots, which are known mainly for rice farming, unique cuisine, and warm, friendly Thai people.

    Your private guide can show you around the places where the locals like to get together as well as some hidden attractions. They can also introduce you to the local cuisine, which is quite different from one village to another.

  • Sample the street food

    Sample the street food

    One way to truly sample genuine cuisine it is to eat as the locals do, and in Thailand the locals just love to eat from the countless food stalls. Ask your host to show you where the best street food can be found and they will gladly oblige.

    Many of the stalls will have tables and chairs so you can sit and enjoy your meal. Eating out on the street with your host can make for one of the more awesome things to do in Thailand. It is on the street that you’re likely to find some of Thailand’s more unusual dishes, so don’t be afraid to try something new such as fried beetles, locust or even scorpion. Try everything that you are curious about on a personalized Bangkok food tour!

      Fantastic Multi-Day Tour in Bangkok

      "Our group of five (5) recently completed a multi-day tour with Zarut. We had a wonderful experience with Zarut as he showed us the beautiful treasures of Bangkok and also its’ hidden gems. I have traveled extensively worldwide having visited nearly 100 countries and all seven continents. In my travels, I have utilized the services of dozens of private tour guides. I highly recommend Zarut as he is one of the finest private tour guides that I have had the pleasure of meeting. Zarut is very friendly, witty, kind and extremely knowledgeable about the present and former history of Bangkok and Thailand. If you are looking for a great private guide to show you the beauty of Bangkok, it is without reservation that I suggest that you contact Zarut…he will no helps to make your travels to Bangkok a remarkable experience."

      Fascinating Bangkok

      "Do you know which Buddha represents the day you were born? Why is that Buddha’s hand facing the ground? Did you know your birthday determines your lucky color in Thai tradition? If you want answers to questions you never even thought to ask, book a tour with Tuangtip (Tai for short). She is warm, professional, and incredibly flexible. She adjusted her schedule to fit ours and made every stop feel personal. Each temple had a unique story, and she shared so much fascinating history with us. She transformed Bangkok from a checklist into an unforgettable experience that we’ll cherish forever. 😃"

He also patiently explained rhe basic concepts of Thai Buddhism. He also took me quieter temples where it was possible to be still and mindful as local people prayed and meditated.

      A wonderful ambassador for Thailand

      "Andy didn’t just show us the beauty of Ayutthaya. He also helped us find a traditional Thai spirit house that we’re proudly taking home with us. Our conversations with Andy were truly inspiring. He vividly conveyed the culture, history, land, and people of Thailand, making every moment both educational and entertaining. Any time, anywhere – we’d happily tour with Andy again."
