Hi, my name is Jay and I would love to be your private local guide in Bangkok. If you arrive in Bangkok, what are you looking for? What do you need? What do you expect? And with which memories of this amazing country do you want to go home. . . I believe your experience will always be more meaningful when it is shared and learned from the locals. So what you need is a local who knows what you want. My experience as a guide for more then a decade has taught me well. So I'm sure I am able to make your dream trip come true. When you book one of my tours I will share my love for my country's by engaging you through some historical insights, local folktales, delicious Thai food, fun local transportation like a tuk tuk ride or James Bond boat amazing race, myths and different beliefs that can be found throughout Thailand. My work is my passion. So to me "guiding a tour" is not just a job. It is also my happiness. Everyday when I say goodbye to my new friends, I can only feel fulfilled and complete when I am sure my guests had an amazing and excellent day. With me as your friend, not only will you hear stories but you will also feel and taste the best of Thailand. Through the local insights but also through tasting some of the most delicious Thai food around. I have some different trips and tours for you to choose from. Some are very flexible and can be customized along the day and others are all inclusive trips around Bangkok and for example the floating market or Ayutthaya. For cruise ship travelers I have private tours for couples and for travelers that want to book me as a group for their trip to Bangkok or near the port. But if by any chance you can't find what you are looking for or you want to customize any of my tours, please don't hesitate to send me an email because this can all be arranged according to your specific wishes. So embark on your first experience to Thailand with me and make sure your holiday will start with a blast! I can't wait to welcome you to Bangkok soon!

Overview of your Bangkok tour

I will meet you at your hotel in the morning and together we'll plan where to go first on this special day. If it's your first time to Bangkok I would love to introduce you to some important highlights combined with the best local spots in town. Walking amongst the grandeur of the golden stupa's at the Grand Palace and to see Buddhist monks chanting at Wat Pho is what brings Buddhism to life. Smelling all the different herbs and curry pastes at the local markets will make you want to try the best Thai food around. Touching the flower garlands at the flower market will make you fall in love with our 'streetlife' culture. Tasting the sweetness of our 'mango and sticky' rice desert will make you want to come back to Thailand again. Hearing the Thai people laugh and having fun all the time will make your life happy. And taking back home only one word of Thai will make your friends at home smile and make their eyes twinkle. The tour is fully customizeable to your wishes so you can be sure that it will be great.

An amazing experience with Jay! He was professional, kind, and very attentive throughout the tour. He took the time to answer all our questions and adapted the visit to what we wanted to see. He made our visit to the temple truly special and meaningful. I highly recommend Jay to anyone visiting Bangkok. Thank you so much, Jay!

We had an absolutely wonderful day exploring Bangkok with Jay! She was an incredible tour guide and truly went above and beyond to make our day special. Jay took us to so many amazing places, including Wat Traimit and the Golden Buddha, the Flower Market, Wat Pho and the incredible 46-meter Reclining Buddha, the Grand Palace and Emerald Buddha Temple, Chinatown, and Sampeng Market. We also had a fantastic longtail boat ride along the Chao Phraya River and through the canals. She made sure we experienced not only the famous sights, but also some of the local culture and food, including a delicious lunch at Krua Apsorn and the most amazing mango sticky rice at K. Panich! What really stood out to us was how wonderful Jay was with our daughters. She was so kind, patient, and genuinely interested in making sure they were having fun. She remembered that one of our daughters loved squishies and actually took them to some squishy shops during the day. That small gesture meant so much to them — and to us as parents. It was clear that Jay wasn’t just focused on showing us Bangkok; she wanted to make the experience enjoyable for everyone in our family. Jay was knowledgeable, friendly, funny, and incredibly attentive. She kept the day organized while still making it feel relaxed and fun. She shared so much interesting information and was always happy to answer our questions. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide for our Bangkok adventure. Jay made our day unforgettable, and our daughters absolutely loved her! If you’re visiting Bangkok, we highly recommend booking a tour with Jay. She is truly wonderful at what she does! 🇹🇭❤️

This was my first trip to Bangkok and the day I spent with Jay was a highlight. Not only did she take me to popular attractions but she shared lesser known but equally interesting locations. The pace of the tour was perfect for a full day of touring. I highly recommend this tour because the van quickly transports you between locations and gives you a break from the heat. Jay knows all the shortcuts and places to take the best pictures. On top of the sightseeing Jay give fascinating facts and information about the history of Bangkok. I love Tours by Locals and put this adventure with Jay at the top of my list!!

We had Jay for two days. We were struggling a bit with the heat and humidity levels in Thailand and she did a great job of adjusting the tour to give us plenty of rest in air-conditioned spaces. The transportation was wonderful and there was always plenty of cold water and cold towels to cool us off after getting back to the van. Jay was very knowledgeable about the places she showed us and her suggestions for how to spend our time were excellent. We toured all of the major sites in Bangkok on the first day and went to Ayutthaya to view the old capital ruins on the second day.

We went to the floating market, and the train market, the fish market, and saw a salt farm and sugar farm. Jay is great at communicating and making a tour to fit your interests. Highly recommended.
