4 hours | day trips | Bangkok
See Thailand Through the Eyes of a Local
Explore the city alongside your private local guide and discover authentic Thai life beyond the tourist traps.
Ride through bustling streets in a tuk-tuk and glide along scenic canals in a traditional longtail boat—just like the locals do.
No scams!
Learn and be a part of the traditional ritual of Sak Yant, an ancient tattoo technique that consists of engraving and poking the skin with a long metal spike from one of the best Masters in Bangkok.
"This was an amazing experience, Natcha is amazing, friendly and patient, not only did she make the whole process smooth and understandable, she improved it with her upbeat attitude. She ended up giving me an hour extra of her time as we have a real Thai meal afterwards. Best tour guide ever! "
"I booked the Tattoo tour with Natcha for my parents so they could experience something unique on their first trip to Bangkok. They absolutely loved it! They said the tour was unique, authentic, fun, informative and very memorable. Highly recommend! "
"My wife, a coworker, and I signed up for this cooking class but we didn’t realize it was cooking + comedy!
Our instructor, Chef Oat, had a great sense of humor! He had some really good jokes and gags which kept things flowing all night. We learned how to cook four dishes: Mango-Coconut Sticky Rice, Tom Yum Soup, Green Curry, and Pad Thai. We got a special addition: a “magic” honey-lime drink! I won’t spoil the magic, but it was very cool! The instructions were easy and Chef Oat’s demonstrations made learning the preparation techniques easy.
If you want to spend a fun evening learning four classic Thai dishes and laughing your you-know-what off, then sign up for this class!"

Engaging teacher; delicious food
"We spent a lovely evening cooking with our most engaging and genial host!
An intimate setting for a cooking class - small group and highly adapted to our skills and experience - with a full menu of lovely dishes that we progressively cooked and ate, all supported by interesting and useful advice, cultural context, and local stories as we went.
Highlight of our trip to Bangkok and highly recommended."

Very friendly, fun and knowledgable
"Natcha is really passionate about her job and makes your adventure and learning experience so much fun. Couldn't rate her enough. Thank you."
"My best experience during my trip in Thailand!
Even just by mail, Natcha understood my needs and arranged a last time schedule with Sak Yant Arjan.
So blessed and thankful!
Hope to see you again Natcha"

Sak Yant tattoos
"Nat is an amazing person, her knowledge and pleasant personality was well worth the tour.
"
"Natcha was very lovely! From the very begining she was patient with my husband and I while we tried to navigate the busy traffic and were 30 minutes late to our appointment. We met her at a coffee shop in Bangkok, ordered a coffee to go and started the trek to the Sak Yant studio. She helped us with the ceremony from start to finish! So accommodating and even helped us take photos to remember this day forever. But I know even without the photos, I will never forget her or the best day we had in Bangkok! Thank you Natcha! "

Unforgettable Experience
"Natcha created an unforgettable experience for me. She is very knowledgeable about the Sak Yant and provided me with research before the experience. She set up the appointment with the Master and communicated with me when a time change was requested by the Ajran. During the experience she took her time to explain what the design meant and helped to communicate my preferences. I highly recommend Natcha who is not only knowledgeable about the Sak Yant, but also the food scene in Bangkok."
"First time feeling for her is very bright and kind. she take care of me very well even my emotion was down. she has a good skill for guiding. Just believe her. You can feel comfortly."
