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!

Early morning I will meet you at your hotel in Bangkok. Together we'll drive to Bang Pa In summer palace. This palace has stunning Chinese temples, European style buildings and beautiful manicured gardens. After this you will discover the ancient capital, Ayutthaya were we visit a local homebased sweets factory. After a delicious lunch we continue to Wat Mahatat (Wat means temple) to explore the ruins and century old Buddha statues. From here we make a boat ride on the famous Chao Praya river to get a glimpse of the local communities on the banks of this majestic river. Wat Chai Watanaram is a proud Khmer style temple that is still standing strong. This is the most beautiful temple of all so I will bring you here as well. During this historical day you will learn a lot about Thai history but also see and experience the typical Thai local culture and traditions that we are so proud of. In the late afternoon I will bring you back to your hotel in Bangkok.
08. 00 Depart Bangkok. 09. 00 Arrive at Bang Pa In summer palace. 10. 00 Take boat ride along Majestic river. 11. 30 Arrive at local market and sweets factory, local lunch. 13. 30 Visit Wat Mahatat. 14. 30 Visit Wat Chai Watanaram. 17. 00 Back in your hotel. This is an approximate time estimation. When you visit temples or the Royal Palace it's obliged to dress polite. This means that the shoulders should be covered for all. For men a long pair of trousers and for ladies a skirt or dress that covers the knees.
