Sawasdee ka, My name is Peachaya which you can call me shortly as Peach or Peaches! - I am a local tour guide in Bangkok. I have been a tour guide for nearly 10 years, and during those years have helped many visitors to explore Bangkok from a very different side. I offer a variety of tours in Bangkok and several cities nearby Bangkok such as Ayutthaya - an ancient capital of Thailand, Pattaya, Kanchanaburi and Khao Yai. My tours include All-inclusive tours in Bangkok and Ayutthaya, Private custom tour with private tour guide and transport as well as by public transport. And shore excursions for All-inclusive Bangkok tour and Private custom tour in and around Bangkok. I hope that one of my tours will meet your interests for Bangkok and Ayutthaya trips. Basically, I will take you around the areas where you will explore the different ways in which people life on the areas locally known as "The Other Side of Bangkok", an area formerly known as Krung Thonburi Sri Maha Samut or Thonburi (The City of Treasures gracing the ocean). My mission is to show you the places that largely remain undiscovered by most travelers. My aim is to offer the most unique, enjoyable and eco-friendly experience, and to offer a rare insight into the life and culture of the local communities in and around Bangkok. So, how much do you know about Bangkok? Bangkok, or 'Krung Thep' (City of Angles) as local Thai people call it, is the capital and largest city of Thailand. The city is best known for its skyscrapers, shopping centers, business district, tuk-tuks and motorcycles on the street, and its street food. Most visitors are well acquainted with well-known attractions such as the Grand Palace, Emerald Buddha Temple, Temple of Dawn (Wat Arun), the Reclining Buddha Temple (Wat Pho), the Flower Market and China Town. But did you know that Bangkok has so much more to offer than just that? Bangkok also has 'The Other Side' which is on the opposite side of Chao Phraya River. On The Other Side of Bangkok you will be able to see a more traditional way of Thai life, many traditional small waterways (the Khlongs) which still exist here, local markets, temples and many interesting places which are unknown to most visitors and tourists, and even people who live in Bangkok! As a local, I also promote the idea of Community-Based Tourism (CBT), cultural exchange, and the preservation of local traditions to enable our customers to discover local habitats and wildlife and to celebrate, learn and respect traditional cultures, rituals and wisdom to support local communities. Come and Join me for a unique experience in Bangkok! - Bachelor's Degree in Bachelor of Arts, English Major by Rangsit University - Certified Tourist Guide by Tourism Authority of Thailand, and Faculty of Archaeology, Silpakorn University (Silpakorn University is a national university in Thailand and Thailand's leading fine arts university which was originally established as the School of Fine Arts under the Fine Arts Department in 1933) I'm a licensed guide, and have no restrictions.
