"Lovely evening walking around the area near Sathorn Pier. Araya was a wonderful guide, knowledgeable about the area and its history as well as the food and taking you to the places she likes to eat. The duck was amazing, the drunken noodles spicy and tasty; I would never have thought of trying congee but so glad I did. Thoroughly recommended."
"Visiting Ayutthaya with Guide Piya and a private driver was the best decision for our family of 3. Piya was funny and witty. She provided fascinating insights on the temples and ruins we visited; she guided us through sites at the optimal times to avoid crowds and with the convenience of the minivan, we had time to squeeze in a delicious lunch in our 6 hour day trip. It was a blistering hot June day when we visited, but the trip felt effortless. Would definitely recommend! Thanks Piya and team!"
"Our food tour with Araya was an outstanding evening. Arayas choice of restaurants kitchens and dishes, which we never had visited and tried without her, was the best start for our Bangkok trip.
She is such a friendly and lovely person and she gave us so many facts about the city and its history. "
"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."
"Piyaporn was very knowledgeable about Ayutthaya and explained us a lot about Buddhism. Her tour was very informative and enjoyable."

Wonderful food tour
"We had a great time with Araya on our Bangkok street food tour. She did a great job explaining the history of the food, neighborhood, and Bangkok in general. She even went out of her way to make sure we arrived at our post tour destination safely. We would highly recommend Araya as a tour guide. "
"Araya was an incredible guide! She made us feel welcome and comfortable while still providing professional services. I love the mixture of history, culture, and great food."
"We took a 3 hour, 5 tastings food tour and Jojo is everything you would want in a tour guide! She was very accommodating to our limited time schedule (even picked us up in our hotel), selected places and food items that matched our dietary needs and gave us the opportunity to try things we would not have known to eat on our own. We went to Chinatown and experienced local Thai and Chinese influenced street foods, beverages and sweets. We walked through many small neighborhoods and she explained the history and culture. It was a very active and delicious afternoon.
Jojo is friendly and knowledgeable and so much fun to be with. We would definitely recommend her!!"
"We had an amazing time on the food tour with Araya! She was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and made the experience so much fun. We got to try delicious local dishes, and Araya made sure we understood the history and culture behind each one. Highly recommend her tour to anyone looking to explore the local cuisine!"
