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 Pattaya tour

When exploring the marvelous golden chedi's and roaming the palace grounds you'll see glimpses of Buddhist monks giving blessings while fragrants of colorful lotus flowers create a serenity in the air. Whisking through backstreets markets where sellers offer you tasteful delicacies wrapped in banana leaves. But what's inside. . . Thai people have many beliefs and traditions which wonder many travelers. You might see a lady doll inside shops waving at you. But why? And why are there so many dfferent Buddha postures and what's their meaning? A trip through Asian stories and traditional beliefs while you'll see all the highlights of the city is what you can expect. May all your answers be questioned. . . If you do not want to travel the distance to Bangkok you can let me know and I will bring you to the highlights nearby the port. The drive to Bangkok is approx. 2, 5 to 3 hours one way. IF YOU TRAVEL AS A GROUP ON A CRUISE YOU CAN BOOK MY 'GROUP SHORE EXCURSION'. PLEASE SEE MY OTHER LISTING

Jay is the best guide! Defintely book with Jay in Bangkok! She had a great plan, communicated it regularly, was flexible. She always smiling and energetic. She gave us life-saving cold towels and water at least 6 times.

Jay is a wonderful caring prepared and all around good person who took us on a tour of Bangkok that was Bar none, extensive informative, and great. There’s nothing more that I could say that would describe her knowledge and ability to lead a tour. From the four of us, we thank Jay for giving us a wonderful day in Bangkok.

Jay arranged a seamless pickup from the cruise port and brought us nearly two hours into Bangkok, making the start of our day effortless. From the moment we met her, she was professional, organized, and fully focused on guiding us through our custom tour. She took us to several temples, arranged a long‑boat ride, and led us through the vibrant flower market. She also brought us to what became the best meal of our entire trip and later made sure we had the best sticky rice in the city for our drive back. Jay kept us perfectly on schedule and even added a couple of bonus stops when we had extra time. Throughout the day, she was incredibly informative, knew all the best photo locations, and became our group photographer—capturing fantastic shots we’ll treasure. We highly recommend Jay—and ToursByLocals—to anyone wanting to explore and truly appreciate Bangkok. Kelly, Eric, Lois, Shelly

Jay was unbelievable! So efficient. Catered to everyone’s needs. Answered all our questions. Loaded with information. Could not have been any better. Thank you Jay!

Jay is extraordinary; knowledgeable, high-energy, efficient, genuine, generous and fun! Her 20 years of experience were evident. We had a full agenda, and she got it all in--Wat Pho, Grand Palace & Emerald Buddah Temple, Lunch at Krua Apsorn, Longtail Boat Ride on the canal, Flower Market, Golden Buddah Temple, shopping and massages at Chatujak Market and her treat to the best mango sticky rice ever! She took all the pictures of our group on her phone, which saved time and documented our tour far better than otherwise. Most impressive were the little things she did: opening the van door for us, warning of potential dangers (high steps, street crossing), providing cold wash clothes and water, making pre-arrangements to minimize downtime, giving us lotus flowers for wish-making, etc. As a guide, she's superb. As a person, she's more than that. Without question, she's among the very best.

My Wife and I recently did a full day tour with Jay of the highlights of Bangkok. It was fantastic! Jay is one of the best tour guides we have ever used. We were picked us up at the pier at the Laem Chabang port ( and drove us to the center of Bangkok) where we met Jay to start our tour. Jay then proceeded to take us to see the major sites within the city (including the Grand Palace, Emerald Buddha, Wat Phra Chetuohon, Wat Arun, tuk tuk ride, a wonderful boat ride along the canals of Bangkok, the flower market, tasty snacks from local vendors and a wonderful lunch). We could have never seen half as much on our own. Along with her driver, Jay seamlessly moved us around the city, providing great knowledge and insights into each site visited. Jay also knew the perfect spots at each site for those perfect photos!! Jay was a perfect guide and we very highly recommendation her!!
