If you wish you had a close friend in Bangkok to give you an insider's tour of the city, you've come to the right place. My name is CHAWANWIT or KAY as a nickname known for travelers, I born and raised in Bangkok work as an inbound/outbound tour escort around 30 years, I love my job and always enjoy meeting and conducting travelers on the tour, I have spent part of each year searching for new places which is not just the ordinary tours. I offer handcrafted private tours of Bangkok for travelers who demand more than an impersonal bus tour. I specialize in small, intelligent private tours of Bangkok for educated travelers who want real insights into the people, the history, and the culture of the city. I have designed tours of Bangkok that take in a good selection of off-the-beaten-track sights and a few must-see attractions. I also selected good, authentic local restaurants to stop for lunch. I speak fluent English, Thai, and I am a storehouse of interesting information about Bangkok and Thai culture. More than just a guide, I will serve you as a personal assistant during your time in Bangkok, making sure that your trip there is stress-free and special in every way. Best of all, your tour will be a private experience, and you can walk as much or as little as you like. I can also provide a private car with a driver for your tour, giving you the option of driving from site to site, so please join me for an inside look at this wonderful city. Besides tours in Bangkok, I also offer full-day tours outside of Bangkok, such as the old capital Ayutthaya, the Floating Market, the Bridge on the River Kwai, or a customized tour to meet your needs. Please feel free to send me a message and I will get back to you soonest possible. Thank you. Professional Guide Association Tourist Guide Licence No: 1-018298

China Town, Royal Grand Palace & Emerald Buddha Temple, Reclining Buddha Temple.
Overview of your Bangkok tour
This perfect introduction to Bangkok offers both the hidden world of Bangkok's back streets and the glittering world of its grandest temples. It is almost impossible for travelers not to know Wat Pra Kaew and Wat Pho. These two temples are the most impressive and the "must-visit" places when arriving in Bangkok. Not too distant from the area, Chinatown is the most popular trading center for locals, and most of them are retailers. This bustling and hustling town offers a variety of unique products manufactured in the country. Visit markets, shrines, and off-the-beaten-path places.

Rich R.United States
Kay was a great tour guide! We had a wonderful time visiting Wat Pho, Wat Arun, Chinatown, and city markets. Unfortunately, the Grand Palace was closed due to the Queen Mother's passing. He was responsive, knowledgeable, personable, and had a great sense of humor. Highly recommend taking this tour with Kay.
Simon C.United Kingdom
We are a family of 4, visiting Bangkok with our 2 sons from the UK. Kay provided us with an fascinating private tour. His communication was excellent and he made the tour interesting and engaging for all of us. Even down to arranging taxis to and from our accommodation, Kay thought of every detail to make the experience as enjoyable as possible for us.
Mitch T.United States
Kay was a wonderful and knowledgeable tour guide. A real gentleman and professional. I can highly recommend him.
Susan F.United States
Our day with Kay was great. He took us to highlights of the city, was fun to be with and very knowledgeable.
Valerie E.United States
This tour is well worth your time and money. Understanding what you are seeing and learning how to get around the city is invaluable. Kay is very easy to understand and although there is so much history and culture, he is able to break it down in an understandable way so that you can appreciate what you are seeing.
Your Bangkok tour itinerary
Start time: 9 am. Meet at your hotel and travel for the tour by public transport. Explore Chinatown, the most popular trading center for more than 150 years. This community started in 1782 and is now the largest Chinatown in the country. Visit the Reclining Buddha Temple and see this enormous Buddha in the lying position, so pretty and shiny from the gold leaf. The Buddha is 46 meters long and 15 meters high, and other impressive constructions within the entire compound. Lunch at a local restaurant. Visit the Emerald Buddha Temple, which was built on the grounds of the Royal Palace. It is the center of Thai spirituality and the home of the most sacred Buddha in Thailand. The wall around the temple is hand-painted with the Hindu epic. The buildings were built for various purposes by the kings and embellished with multicolored mirrors, gold leaf, and porcelain. Finally, you will be taken back to your hotel.
