"Really enjoyable tour. Sudarat was absolutely lovely, friendly, and knowledgeable. She introduced us to places and tastes we would never have found on our own.
We visited a couple of eat-in cafes, explored a farmers market, and sampled eats at various food stalls. The variety of dishes was amazing, from morning glory to the infamous durian (which I liked!), and even some more adventurous options like fermented eggs (which I opted out of trying!).
I am coeliac and therefore have to avoid gluten - something the Thai people aren’t familiar with so Sudarat was invaluable and did a great job checking ingredients and making sure everything was safe for me to eat. I could relax and not worry about what I was eating.
Whether you're a foodie, got food intolerances, or just looking to experience the real Bangkok, I highly recommend this tour with Sudarat. The food is all
included so we found it good value. "
"It was a very friendly experience to be touring with Sammy! He was very knowledgeable about the area and its history, and it was very easy to talk to him and ask questions about the food and the culture. There was a lot of variety with the food (as long as you have no food restrictions), and everything he introduced to us was delicious! Highly recommend this tour program, we wouldn’t have known about other places to sightsee without Sammy to tell us about them. "
"I spent the day with Tuangtip (Tai) on a private tour and it was simply amazing from beginning to end!! I took the tour without my friends and felt completely safe and I learned so much. Tai was patient, kind and incredibly knowledgeable.
It was great taking the tour on my own as I got to go at the pace I wanted to and given the extreme heat in Bangkok, Tai was more than happy to stop whenever I needed/wanted to."
"Andy was a fantastic tour guide! He has a deep knowledge of the history and culture of Thailand/Siam and does a wonderful job weaving it into the tour, also explaining the different customs and traditions of Buddhism and Hinduism through stories and examples. He even went out of his way to ensure we got on the correct ferry and train after our tour. He was also very interested in learning about the history and politics of our country. Great experience for our first visit to Bangkok! "
"It was our first trip to Bangkok and an it was really a perfect start having a private tour with Tuangtip.
We spent an amazing day visiting temples and markets and learned a lot about the culture.
Tuangtip is a truly welcoming host and it feels like spending the day with an old friend. We talked and laughed a lot, she answered all our questions and had also some extra tips for following activities and where to buy the best Souvenirs.
You can feel that she’s passionate about her hometown and has fun, bringing her guests closer to it.
Also she knows the best food spots, be it restaurants or the secret places at China Town.
It was an unforgettable experience and we were super happy about the tour!"
"To the point: Apicha is a super nice guy, interesting stories/conversationalist, knows
His food and beverages (gives great recs), and cares about your experience. I just kicked back and relaxed while he showed me around. We ate, drank, and had a few laughs. Time well spent.
For context:
I have been lucky to travel all over the world. As a US child spending summers abroad with foreign grandparents, as a young person with a backpack, as an expat employee, and more recently as part of my career.
So I’ve had almost every type of trip, tour guide, and independent traveler experience to be had.
But until last week I had never been to Bangkok. And unfortunately my time was limited until my last evening. That said, I would hire him no matter what type of time / trip I was on (relaxed vacation or rushed) and trust him to manage the vibe.
In a few hours we saw some of the city by Tuk Tuk, had some laughs eating bugs with other tourists met along the way, had some amazing food at unexpected places one, and had some more laughs with some local bartenders at a few good spots."
"I can’t give Artty enough kudos. He’s very knowledgeable about history, current culture, and so much more! He gave us a ton of information in a way that was fun, informative and interesting. He also was very accommodating to our requests to stop to try various foods and shop for souvenirs that caught our eye. Artty’s English is amazing and his personality is bright, engaging, and funny. I hope to be lucky enough to return to Bangkok and I’m definitely booking Artty again when I do. Choose Artty, you’ll have a wonderful experience!"
"Joining the food tour with Araya around Bangkok was one of the best decisions of my trip! From the moment we met, Araya’s enthusiasm and deep knowledge of Thai cuisine and culture shone through, making the experience both delicious and enlightening.
We visited some of Bangkok’s most vibrant fresh food markets, where the colors, aromas, and energy were absolutely mesmerizing. Araya introduced me to a variety of unique and mouth-watering dishes, many of which I had never even heard of before. Each stop was carefully chosen and offered something different — from spicy street food favorites to delicate traditional sweets.
What truly set this tour apart was the way Araya wove in the cultural and historical significance of each dish. She explained how food is deeply intertwined with Thai life, family traditions, and regional identities, giving every bite a story and deeper meaning. It wasn’t just about eating (though there was plenty of that!); it was about truly understanding and appreciating Thai culinary heritage.
Araya’s passion was contagious. She answered every question thoughtfully and always had a smile on her face.
If you want to taste authentic Thailand and learn about the heart and soul behind the flavors, I cannot recommend this tour with Araya highly enough. It was a great addition to my Bangkok visit and an experience I’ll be talking about for years to come!"
"I recently had the absolute pleasure of taking the walking tour around Bangkok, and it was truly an unforgettable experience! From start to finish, my guide, Tuangtip, brought an incredible depth of knowledge, warmth, and passion that made the entire journey come alive.
The tour took us through some of Bangkok’s most stunning temples, each one more breathtaking than the last. What made this experience even more special was the chance to interact respectfully with Buddhist monks. Tuangtip guided us on proper etiquette and explained the significance of each encounter, helping us to truly appreciate the deep-rooted spirituality and traditions of Thailand.
Beyond the temples, we delved into the rich history, customs, and daily life of the Thai people. Tuangtip was an incredible storyteller, weaving historical facts with fascinating local legends and personal insights. She had a wonderful way of making complex cultural topics accessible and engaging, and she encouraged thoughtful questions throughout the tour.
I especially loved how immersive the experience felt. We weren't just passive observers—we participated, learned, and connected. Whether it was learning about the symbolism behind temple architecture, trying local offerings at a nearby market, or observing daily rituals, I felt a genuine bond with the culture.
If you're visiting Bangkok and want a tour that goes far beyond the typical sightseeing experience, I cannot recommend this one enough. Tuangtip’s expertise, enthusiasm, and genuine love for her heritage made this tour a highlight of my trip to Thailand. Don’t miss it!"
