Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Artty was a terrific truly local guide. We immediately started off walking down alleys and seeing sights that my husband and I would have had no idea about. It definitely felt like we were on a hidden tour. Once you have seen the amazing tourist spots, this type of tour to go see more local things is really special. Artty grew up in the area we walked and he appeared to know everyone. We really cannot recommend this tour enough - you will not be disappointed. "
"Not the typical food and temple tour you can get in Bangkok. Artty will show you sides of the city you would normally never see and does it with such charm and humour. Can highly recommend this three hour ramble through the city. "
"We really got to make sense of a small part of Bangkok from Artty's tour. He's so knowledgeable and as a history buff, I loved hearing about old Siam and Artty's own background. He really brought things to life and even our children found it fascinating!"
"We had such a great time wandering the streets of Bangkok with Artty! His insights on the city, its culture and varying neighborhoods were extremely informative. We had the pleasure to sample some street food, shop a little and had a wonderful lunch with him in a very local spot! The food was amazing. If you’re looking for a great guide, you found him!"
"We had a wonderful time with Artty. He is passionate, funny and engaging. We have learned so much of the daily life in Bangkok, the mix of cultures, the food, the history. HIGHLY recommend "
"Booked for locals tour with Artty and wow what a gentleman. From introducing himself online at time of booking 2 weeks out and then helping us find him once we were there. The 3 hours flew past. There was so much information to absorb, Artty knows his town. It was a a privilege to have him share some of the places that are very personal touch him. It was definitely a Locals tour. We saw his old school and places he played as a kid. Just that alone was insanely awesome. We definitely didn't walk as fast as him 😂and we was very good with slowing down to our pace. Thank you for keeping us hydrated as well 🙏. We learnt so much and are so thankful to have been able to see this authentic glimpse into Bangkok, the now and the past. "
"We got a message from Artty the day of our tour that he was sick. His friend, Tony, was the replacement and did a great job showing us the backstreets of Bangkok and giving us recommendations for food and a bar after our tour ended. We would never have gone to the speak-easy and really enjoyed it. Tony was also helpful in giving us advice for navigating the train system for other tours later in our trip. It was great introduction to Bangkok on our first day of our trip!"
"Artty is a great guide - it was our second trip with him and again a great pleasure. Great stories and exciting places. It doesn't get any better than this. "
"Die Tour mit Chatchai am Nachmittag zu den Tempeln, der Blumenmarkt, das Opfern der Lotusblüten, Chinatown, die Tuk-Tuk-Fahrten waren sehr unterhaltsam und interessant, wir haben einen super ersten Eindruck mit vielen Tipps und Empfehlungen erhalten - sehr zu empfehlen, jederzeit gerne wieder mit Chatchai :-)"
