"Pathu was amazing. She gave us an overall great overview of Phuket. We got some history of Thailand during our drive. Went to some Buddhist temples, and she was really great with the history and stories about each temple. She was patient as we meandered around and took photos. She took us to a great restaurant for lunch. And she took us to try durian ... upon our request ... (maybe not our best decision!!) Then we went around old Phuket, and again, she really showed us lots of great locations. "
"Vatin or VJ was a great guide. We were able to personalize our tour with just the stops we wanted to go to. He was our driver and tour guide, providing us with interesting facts and answering our questions. VJ was super friendly and helpful. We would definitely recommend him as a guide."
"Our experience in Phuket was truly elevated by the best tour guide. From the very beginning, they were incredibly knowledgeable—not just sharing surface-level facts, but offering deep, meaningful insights into Phuket’s history, culture, and traditions that made every stop come alive.
What stood out most was the flexibility. They really allowed us to craft our own trip, tailoring the itinerary to what we were most interested in rather than following a rigid schedule. That made the experience feel personal and intentional, not rushed or generic.
Beyond the guided portions, they also took the time to recommend places we could explore on our own—hidden gems, local spots, and must-see locations that we may have otherwise missed. That extra effort made a big difference in how much we were able to enjoy Phuket even outside of the tour.
The comfort level was also top-notch. The tour van was clean, spacious, and air-conditioned—such a relief in the Phuket heat—and having cold refreshments available made the journey even more enjoyable.
Overall, it was a seamless, thoughtful, and enriching experience. If you’re looking for a guide who is knowledgeable, accommodating, and genuinely invested in making your trip special, this is absolutely the best person to choose."
"Pathu was incredibly knowledgeable, informative, flexible, patient and easygoing. She adapted our tour to suit our needs and wants. Would absolutely recommend and book with Pathu for future trips "
"We’ve used With Locals for all of our travels over the last 4 years. They have all been excellent experiences, but I have to rate our day with Pathu as the best we’ve ever had. Her historical knowledge of the country and the area were excellent. And she took us to the most memorable spots across the island in a mere six hours. Any English speaking tourist should definitely utilize her services. "
