Life is a journey but unless you've visited Thailand. . . it's not complete. Hello and Sawadee, my name is Tommy and I've been a Thai tour guide for over a decade now. Probably I will be a guide for a decade more because my job is my passion in life! Previous to my life as a Thai guide I was a marketing manager for a life insurance company in Thailand. But I didn't stick with that and became a Thai guide and I haven't looked back since. What I love most about my job is that I get a chance to meet people from all over the world and make friends with them. Second is that I get a chance to share my love for Thai food. So as you will see in my tours page, I have a special private food tour for Thai food lovers as well. But of course next to the food I know my way around all the historical sites in Bangkok and Thailand of which I am very proud to share. I also know many hidden secret markets, shrines, backstreets and undiscovered cultural places in the city. It always excites me a lot when I discover a new hidden gem in the city or at the countryside. During my time as a freelance guide for a high-end travel company in South East Asia, I have been their event planner for special occasions. This specialized company send me out frequently with managers from overseas travel companies on inspection trips and to set out new itineraries for these travel companies. The company awarded me with an Excellent Guide Award for the year 2013. In the last few years I have been to the United States, Europe and of course many Asian countries. I hope my travels will bring me to many new destinations in the future. I am looking forward to spend one or more amazing days with you as my guests in Bangkok. If you have any specific requests or if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me. May happiness surround your travels and goodluck to you all!

When we embark on a longtail boat to explore the ancient canals (called Klongs) of the city for you to see how Bangkok people have lived for many centuries. And of course more delicious food at the best places you can imagine!
Tommy fulfilled all the promises made in his description. We were able to see some amazing temples, and eat some outrageously good food. He is knowledgeable and took us through Little India and Chinatown like a pro. The longboat tour of the canals was my favorite, though. An amazing day made better by Tommy.
Very nice tour. Got to see and experience Bangkok much differently than if I tried to do it on my own.
What a great day with Tommy leading the tour of his city of Bangkok. He was readily adaptable to my late requests to modify the tour somewhat. He was gracious in doing so, and quickly arranged for my requests. He was quite adept at reading my interests, and exposing sights of interest. My recommendation is to book Tommy to see the highlights of Bangkok through the eyes of a local.
Tommy was a great tour guide. He was helpful, not only with our tour with him, but helped us arrange other tours as well. He is a very warm, friendly, and knowledgeable guide. He definitely knew the best places to sample Thai food! We' will always work with Tommy when in Bangkok! Way to go, Tommy!
Tommy is a great guy, he is very patient and generous towards his clients (us). He toured us not only to let us know the lavish life of of a Thai people but also the opposite like the homeless people lives. He let us also try the local delicasies and pad thai and pork bbq in the local market. Giving him 5 star that he deserves.
Tommy was knowledgeable, courteous and friendly. He was on time and always hurried to the front of the ticket line so we never had to wait long.
