"We loved meeting Mrs Mod, who was enthusiastic and very friendly. She had a wealth of knowledge of all things Bangkok and we felt we had a good rootle round the back streets and off the beaten track. She was up against it with 2 very jet lagged customers but she pitched it at just the right level for us. We loved the long tailed boat trip around the canals, as well as the tuk tuk to the flower, and Chinese, markets. The flower market was a marvel of flower craft. The tour was quite expensive but we felt we had value for money. I would highly recommend Mrs Mod, and we will remember her for her knowledge, kindness and her infectious laugh. As well as for reciting the full name of the King! Thank you x"
"Tuangtip was super lovely and accommodated our family of 5 including kids ranging from 3-12 years last minute with a lovely local boat trip, visit at the artist house for ceramic painting, fish feeding and visiting a local temple. She then quickly changed the tuk tuk trip to visit a temple where the kids could feed turtles. Despite the heat and not wanting to go the kids really enjoyed the tour and it was definitely worthwhile and highly recommended. Tuangtip is very kind, knowledgeable and a great guide. We would highly recommend her! "
"Our day with Tuangtip started perfectly with a delicious cup of coffee by the river. Our guide was incredibly friendly and made us feel welcome right away.
The tour through the “Venice of Bangkok” was fascinating, and the visits to temples and insights into Buddhist rituals were truly interesting and well explained.
Our guide’s knowledge, enthusiasm, and warm personality made this tour really special. She also treated us to local snacks along the way, which made the experience even more authentic.
Highly recommended!"

Glide through Bangkok's heart on a classic Longtail Boat Tour! Discover hidden canals (klongs) and vibrant life along the Chao Phraya River. A private Longtail Boat Tour is the ultimate Bangkok experience.
History of the Bangkok Longtail Boat
Originally adapted from river boats, the Longtail Boat is a Thai icon. Its unique design, featuring a powerful car engine on a long pole, allows for incredible maneuverability in the city's shallow canals.
Cultural Longtail Tour: Life on the Klongs
A Longtail Boat Tour offers a glimpse into a timeless way of life. Witness locals in stilt houses, kids playing by the water, and vendors in floating kitchens. It's a cultural immersion you cannot miss.
Iconic Sights on Your Longtail Boat Tour
Cruise past stunning temples like Wat Arun (Temple of Dawn) and see the majestic Grand Palace from a unique river perspective. A private Longtail Boat Tour can be customized to see the sights you want.
Floating Markets & Foodie Boat Tours
Many Longtail Boat Tours visit a famous floating market like Damnoen Saduak. Imagine buying fresh mango sticky rice or boat noodles directly from a vendor's boat! A true foodie adventure awaits.
The Engine Roar of a Longtail Boat
That iconic roar is a powerful, repurposed car engine! Expert captains masterfully navigate the 'ruea hang yao' using the propeller at the end of the long shaft as both power and rudder.

Lovely canal visit through old Bangkok
"We had a lovely tour with Tuangtip. I was visiting with a friend and my 9 year old daughter. She planned a great boat tour through the canal with a visit to an art area that my daughter loved. We fed the fish and saw a temple, and Tuangtip shared a lot of great local history and culture insight. It was a perfect afternoon!"
"Tuangtip is an exceptionally kind and friendly person. Communication before the tour was very easy with her.
We had a great time with a lot of different activities and felt like Tuangtip was always planning the different stops according to our interests. She even took us on a tour of What Pho, which we had requested beforehand.
Most importantly, as first time Bangkok visitors, the tour with Tuangtip gave us some extremely valuable insights about Thai culture and Buddhism. We were able to ask a lot of questions and this really helped us to understand all the things that you see and do in Bangkok.
Thank you very much Tuangtip, we hope to see you again in the future and wish you all the best!"
"We had a wonderful time with Tuangtip. Such a lovely person and loves what she does. We love getting to understand in more detail about the people we meet and places we visit. Everything we did was fantastic. I would have no hesitation in recommending Tuangtip and would contact her again on our next visit. Thank you. ☺️"
"This is coming too many years too late, but Tuangtip is one of the best Withlocal guides I've ever had. She is so kind and knowledgable. She takes care of you as if you were her own family. She will bring you on an unforgettable adventure and will answer all your questions, no matter how many you have. I learned so much with her. One of the best by far!"
