Hello, I am Jijee. I was born and raised in Bangkok. I love showing visitors around my vibrant city. As a friendly and kind tour guide, I'm easy to talk to and always ready to share the best spots in town. I have a passion for travel, food, and capturing stunning photographs. Whether we’re exploring hidden gems, sampling local delicacies, or taking memorable photos of you during the tour, I bring warmth and enthusiasm to every experience. I enjoyed my job as a radio DJ, TV presenter, and MC for 20 years. I graduated with a degree in Mass Communications and also earned a second degree in German Language. I really look forward to meeting you and getting to know you. Let’s create unforgettable memories together as we discover the wonders of Thailand!

Overview of your Bangkok tour

Embark on an unforgettable tour starting at the awe-inspiring Dragon Temple (Wat Samphran), with its striking dragon-wrapped tower. Here, I'll show you how a Buddhist person pays their respects. To climb to the top of the tower, you will walk 17 floors through the dragons tail, There are no steps, it is a slight incline. It is not a strenuous walk and there is air-conditioning. However, if you prefer there is a lift that can take you all the way to the top instead. Next, marvel at the unique Maeklong Railway Market, where vendors swiftly move their goods as the train passes, and I can take a thrilling photo of you as the train passes you inches away. Finally, explore the charming Amphawa Floating Market with a serene boat trip to explore the Market. Saturday and Sundays are best, as there are more vendors. If you’re planning to book a tour on a weekday, I suggest going to Damnoen Saduak Floating Market rather than Amphawa Floating Market.

What a great tour! Jijee was a wonderful guide. We loved everything, but the Dragon Temple and the floating market were a highlight. We could fit in so much with a private driver. Very comfortable. Jijee made sure we got my favorite mango sticky rice at the floating market and found ripe durian at a roadside stand for us to try. We had some extra time before the train market, so she fit in a foot massage for us--heaven! She was a wonderful photographer as well, catching memories for us. She also sent us a video of our day's highlights. I recommend this tour!

This tour was amazing with Jijee. We really enjoyed our day! She’s the sweetest person. Took great care of my family and I. Super flexible and accommodating. Never rushed us and allowed us to take in the scenery and environment. If there was something I’d be looking for in particular she’ll help me find it. Would definitely recommend her 10/10 service! Hope to see her more as we make more trips to Thailand =)

Sometimes things just don't work out as planned. The question is, what then? Do you give up and say "Oh well, better luck next time", or do you dig in and go the extra mile? Jijee digs in! On our way to the sites, we were literally trapped for 2-3 hours in stopped traffic due to an unforseen bridge collapse. When finally able to move, she worked tirelessly to get us to the venues in a way that they would still be meaningful. We floated through the market with enough vendors still open to make the visit worthwhile and got us to the Train Market ahead of the train! Most impressively, she reached out to the monks at the Dragon Temple who graciously agreed to accept us after hours in what for us became virtually a private tour of this awesome holy place! Jijee is an outgoing, pleasant guide, proud of her Thai/Buddist heritage and anxious to share it. We will book again - thanks Jijee!

JiJee was absolutely amazing on our tour! Our Family of 4, 2 teenage boys, really enjoyed the tour. JiJee speaks really good English, and really showed us so much more Thai culture and beliefs than we would have ever figured out on our own. She was flexible with the schedule (traffic was a little crazy with the new year) and our boys were never bored. She showed us how Buddhists worship as well as making us feel welcome to participate with her so we understood better. Absolute would recommend this tour and JiJee as she was AMAZING!

We spent a lovely day with Jijee, she took care of us as a family and brought us on tour with great attitude and personality. Really worth the time with her and the kindness she offered to us. Couldn’t expect more! Thank you.

Wow! What a terrific day. Thank you so much Jijee for taking such wonderful care of our family today. Your passion for Thailand and for taking care of your guests really shines through in every kindness you provided. From getting us to the Maeklong Railway Market on time (plus getting us a great spot for pictures), to seamlessly getting us on a boat to experience the floating market, to all the small little details like ensuring our comfort with water and tea throughout the day, we very much enjoyed our day with you. Thank you again for making our experience so memorable. Our family has traveled throughout the world and has worked with many Tours by Locals guides, and your tour stands out as one of the finest. Thank you!
