Hi, my name is Jay and I would love to be your private local guide in Bangkok. If you arrive in Bangkok, what are you looking for? What do you need? What do you expect? And with which memories of this amazing country do you want to go home. . . I believe your experience will always be more meaningful when it is shared and learned from the locals. So what you need is a local who knows what you want. My experience as a guide for more then a decade has taught me well. So I'm sure I am able to make your dream trip come true. When you book one of my tours I will share my love for my country's by engaging you through some historical insights, local folktales, delicious Thai food, fun local transportation like a tuk tuk ride or James Bond boat amazing race, myths and different beliefs that can be found throughout Thailand. My work is my passion. So to me "guiding a tour" is not just a job. It is also my happiness. Everyday when I say goodbye to my new friends, I can only feel fulfilled and complete when I am sure my guests had an amazing and excellent day. With me as your friend, not only will you hear stories but you will also feel and taste the best of Thailand. Through the local insights but also through tasting some of the most delicious Thai food around. I have some different trips and tours for you to choose from. Some are very flexible and can be customized along the day and others are all inclusive trips around Bangkok and for example the floating market or Ayutthaya. For cruise ship travelers I have private tours for couples and for travelers that want to book me as a group for their trip to Bangkok or near the port. But if by any chance you can't find what you are looking for or you want to customize any of my tours, please don't hesitate to send me an email because this can all be arranged according to your specific wishes. So embark on your first experience to Thailand with me and make sure your holiday will start with a blast! I can't wait to welcome you to Bangkok soon!

Overview of your Bangkok tour

On this Bangkok walking tour I will meet your at your hotel in Bangkok and from here we'll start our journey into time. At the pillar shrine I will teach you how to make an offering to the spirits of the city. Thai people believe that starting a journey with positive blessings is considered auspicious. So this way your Thailand holiday will start with positive vibes. Together we will walk to the Grand Palace and visit the Emerald Buddha where we can pay an homage to the Buddha. Along the temple walls I will take you on an epic story called the Ramayana to learn how good will always conquers bad. This story is painted decoratively on the temple walls. We continue to the Grand Palace where all royal ceremonies are held and the present king sometimes dwells in search of wisdom. At Wat Pho you will visit the reclining Buddha and the first massage school in Thailand. Frome here we'll walk to the colorful Pak Klong Talad flower market to see the Thai merchant lifestyle.

Wow, Jay was an amazing tour guide. She was knowledgeable, attentive, and informative. She customized our itinerary based on our wants, both in advance and then again that day. I would highly recommend Jay. I will definitely use her again.

We had an amazing morning with Jay. She managed to cram tons of wonderful stuff into one morning before the rains came! We took a long boat tour, visited Wat Pho, the Grand Palace, the flower market, Chinatown, the Jade Buddha temple AND the gold Buddha temple as well. We are pretty fast-paced people and she let us at the pace; it was perfect. There were a few things we weren’t sure we wanted to do and I was glad that she had encouraged us to do them! I would definitely book with Jay again and encourage my friends to do the same.

We had a great tour with Jay! She met us at our hotel and was so kind to bring welcoming gifts for all of us! She worked with us to build a schedule for the day to allow for a reservation we had later in the afternoon and ensured that we would end the day conveniently at our next location. She was an expert at transporting us throughout the city and worked with our mobility issues and communicated with our drivers well to ensure we all stayed together. We packed a lot into the tour, seeing everything we had wanted to (and more!) and the tour extended past the 4 hour mark without a concern from her. She also communicated with us so well about how we wanted to work out payments at the various sites for entrance fees etc. I would highly recommend having Jay show you around Bangkok-she was so organized and knowledgeable!

In the short amount of time we had with Jay we felt that we saw so much! Everything was planned perfectly.

Jay is an extremely professional guide. She communicated with us prior to arrival in Bangkok and was waiting for us the morning of our tour. We had 4 1/2 hours and Jay managed the time perfectly, allowing us to see much of the city. Don't miss the Grand Palace. The flower market is amazing. We took a private canal boat tour which Jay arranged - fabulous! She educates you as you are strolling thru the tour, always assuring you have a cold drink and cooling towels. Do not hesitate to book with Jay! Do it.

We did a visit to Golden Mount and a walking tour through Chinatown. Jay is very nice, gave all necessary information and took into account the fact that we were traveling with 2 kids (13 yrs and 10 yrs) who aren't always up to what adults like.

Your Bangkok tour itinerary

We meet at your hotel in Bangkok. Walk to the Wat Phra Kaew and Grand Palace to visit the Emerald Buddha and Royal Palace. Explore Wat Pho reclining Buddha and massage school. We can have a drink opposite Wat Arun temple for this stunning view. Continue to the Pak Klong talad flower market and roam this colorful flower and vegetable market. From here you are on your own to explore or you can go back to your hotel. This tour is for approx 4 hours. So this walking tour can be combined with my delicious Bangkok Food and Fun tour.
