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.

Together with your enthusiastic private guide you will really make the most out of the blissful serenity and the glorious views below.

  • Find secluded beaches in Phuket

    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.

  • Shop at the local markets

    If shopping is high on your agenda, why not ask your local host to take you to the Srinakarin Train Market or one of their own favorite markets? You can choose a host for our famous Ultimate Local Floating Market & Boat Tour. They can even help you with negotiating the best prices possible and picking the most awesome products.

    The local sellers offer a ton of goods meaning you can shop until you drop. The Srinakarin Train Market has also more to offer than clothes.

    Have a drink 20 storeys up in Pattaya Bay

    Enjoying the cool Pattaya nightlife is among the most popular things to do in Thailand, but it can get a bit too much. The locals often prefer a night out in a more relaxed pace and you will find more leisurely places to enjoy a drink high above the packed streets.

    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.

  • Take Thai cooking lessons

    There are 2 ways in which you can discover the jungles and have tons of fun. One is a soft trekking journey, if you like a relaxing type of experience and the other one is by bike. Cycling helps you see more places in a shorter amount of time and get totally active! Choose your favorite discovery method and explore the Thai jungles with your host!

  • 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!

  • Shelter from the Sun in the Bangkok Planetarium

    Shelter from the Sun in the Bangkok Planetarium

    Your local host can be your guide to the planetarium and be your translator in case there’s anything you don’t understand. The grounds also house a museum and a large marine aquarium so is there is plenty of interest to keep you busy. Listen to cool stories about the place from your private guide and have lots of fun!

      Exceptional

      "Coming from the tourism industry I was detailed about what we wanted to get out of this tour in a bespoke way. Tuangtip was exceptional, she went out of her way to suggest special things that made our trip memorable! We had a different guide a few days later for a river tour and wished we had asked her to do this also. She also did not ask for a review - she is truly excellent at her craft. "

      very personal private family tour

      "Tony was punctual at the agreed meeting point. He gave us an excellent family Tour through Bangkok, regarding all our wishes like seeing the flower Market. On the other side he showed us the current Hotspots and gave us a deep insight of the Thai culture, explaining background and showing famous temples. Any time again ;o). Maybe the agency should come back to the previous price structure. "

      Wonderful family tour!

      "Tuangtip was a wonderful tour guide! We arrived early and she was already there to meet us. Her English was fabulous and her knowledge about Bangkok and the temples was very helpful. She was great with our kids, ages 13 and 16, and even bought them a couple of treats that went above and beyond what was expected. We really enjoyed our tour with her and highly recommend it to anyone considering!"

      Amazing time in Bangkok

      "If you're booking a tour, do yourself a favor and ask for Artty. Seriously, he was awesome. We were dealing with a super humid day (for us puny Canadians ;) ), but he kept the energy up the whole time. He’s incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, funny, and just genuinely attentive. The absolute highlight for me was how amazing he was with it kid. He must have asked him about a thousand questions, and Artty patiently answered every single one of them without missing a beat. He didn't just give us the standard tourist script, he actually gave us a deep dive into Thai culture, local food, and hidden places we never would have found on our own. We tried some amazing delicious Thai snacks, walked through the incredible flower market, and explored the temples. It really felt more like being shown around by a local friend. Highly recommend him! Artty, thank you for showing us your culture and beautiful Bangkok."

      Can’t Miss!!! Artty is FANTASTIC!

      "Artty was such an amazing guide (so sorry the review is late)! He made the entire experience so smooth, helped us get our bearings with navigation, and gave us such a beautiful understanding of the city and its history and stories. Absolutely worth paying for a private tour, we never would have seen half of these things or had time to really explore and enjoy the sights in a large group. During our 2025 July/Aug trip, we had cancelled a different larger group tour since we didn’t realize at the time that many things would be closed for the King’s birthday. We saw this tour and thought that Artty seemed lovely and very knowledgeable based on his description (spoiler alert, he absolutely was and made our whole day of touring in Bangkok simply outstanding!) so we decided to go with him. He was very understanding of us when we were delayed by getting turned around on our way to Wat Traimit, and proceeded to tour us around the aforementioned temple with wonderful enthusiasm and a deep understanding of the history and stories behind it. He then took us through Yaowarat, to the Wat Pho temple complex by tuktuk (we went to Wat Phra Ubosot, Wat Pho, and several other temples and museums inside). We stopped for a delicious lunch before going to explore Pak Khlong Talat, where we were able to participate in a demonstration of the chisel technique style of Thai massage (this was awesome). He went along with our interests as well and after hearing from us, he decided to take us along one of the canals to Wat Chakrawat (Crocodile Temple) which was so cool!! I highly recommend this stop, as the artwork is absolutely stunning in this temple, and Artty was able to explain so much of the Buddhist stories associated with them. Artty made sure to take photos of us along the way so that we could both be present in the memories (thank you so much), helped me to avoid gluten as much as possible in the various foods he procured for us, showed us drinks/snacks I never would have tried, took us off the beaten path, and he was kind enough to walk us back to the Chao Phraya riverboat docks so that we could make it back to our end of town. 1000000 out of 10, could not imagine our trip if we hadn’t included this experience with Artty! He also shared the locations (google map pins) and names so that we could return to them again later—which we did! We cannot wait to return one day :) "
