About the operator
- 755bym00Thanks Yuut!Our fist time in Bangkok and just for a couple of days means we wanted to see as much as possible. Yuut made sure we had the best first day we could ask for. He guided us through all of the places we wanted to visit and gave extra explaination when needed.
- msridl00Beautiful Ayutthaya!I had some difficulty trying to find the actual tour we went on. Our tour guide was Oil from Your Thai Guide. Oil picked us up at our hotel and we made our way to Ayutthaya. She was so informative and very funny. She had us smiling all day. We went to all the historical sights and then stopped for dinner. She was very organized and took very good care of us. Thank you, Oil.
- LindsayWiddall00Loved our day with Gwen!Gwen was amazing! We are so glad we booked a guide to show us around the city the first day we got there. We learnt so much about the history and culture, Gwen really is a walking encyclopedia!! There wasn’t one question she couldn’t answer - and I had a lot! Plus she’s just a great human to spend the day with, and found us a great vegetarian place for lunch. I’d highly recommend!
- soakinginthesun00Unforgettable Adventures with PeachPeach was an amazing guide for our 2 nights and 2 days in Bangkok. She was always timely when meeting us and she maximised the things we were able to see and do. We were in Bangkok for less than 40 hours and we visited The Grand Palace, Wat Arun, the largest flower market in Bangkok, shopping areas and an amulet market. We took a private boat ride, fed fish and water buffalo, tasted some local drinks and food, and learned a great deal about Thai culture. Peach took care of us from beginning to end and we enjoyed her upbeat personality and vast knowledge. Peach is a fluent English speaker with a great vocabulary and she was a valuable interpreter for our Thai shopping bargains. She took loads of photos and videos of our adventures to share with us. Thanks to Peach, we will never forget bustling, beautiful Bangkok.
- 304ralphe00Amazing experience in BangkokWe enjoyed our tour so much with PEACH. She was amazing with our kids 9 and 11 years old. It was so natural how she showed how to fold lotus flowers, explained amulets and how to pray to Buddha in a temple. The kids, even tired, were engaged until the end of the day. We visited with Peach the flower market, did a boat tour, saw the amulet market, had a delicious lunch and saw the Golden Mount. What an amazing day in Bangkok and we learned so much about Buddhism. Thank you Peach!
- jealoussnails00Great day 😅Very knowledgeable on many Thai subjects and shared lots of insider tips. I liked her energy and she let me choose my own itinerary.
- 772pranavu00Jean was amazingJean was great. He thoroughly explained about every place we went for sightseeing. Jean went out of his way to accommodate my plans. I highly recommend Jean
- loisstef00A great three days in Bangkok with Guide YuutWe had a wonderful three days in Bangkok with Guide Yuut. He met us at our hotel each morning, was always on time and took time to review our agenda each day before we left the hotel. Some of our first day included a visit to The Grande Royal Palace, a Long Tail Boat ride on the canal with a great view of Wat Parkman Temple, a walking tour of The Flower Market and china Town and a stop for great Thai Food for lunch. Our second day included The Temple of Reclining Buddha, Temple of Dawn, The Temple of The Golden Budda, Street food tour and tasting and fun and exciting Tuk Tuk Rides. Our third day we climbed 344 steps to the Golden Mount with a great 360 view of Bangkok, well worth it. We visited the Jim Thompson House, and the Chatuchak Market. We experienced a ferry ride, and rode the Sky Train and Subway. Yuut was very knowledgeable, polite, great sense of humour and a pleasure to spend three days with. We truly feel like we hit all the highlights of Bangkok with Guide Yuut learning a lot about Thailand's history, culture, Buddhism and Religions, food, traditions etc.. We would highly recommend Yuut as a Guide.
- TashandClan00Wonderful day guided tour in BangkokThanks to Gwen, our tour guide for the day! We covered much in one day, enjoyed it all, particularly the Grand Palace and the Reclining Budda. Lunch was a taste experience and good value. Gwen is knowledgeable, and passionate about Thailand and her city.
- Seaside48370900A fabulous tour in BangkokThe best part of the trip was having Peach as a guide. We requested visits to the Grand Palace as well as the Reclining Buddha. Peach created a bespoke itinerary for us to include a fabulous lunch in a Michelin star restaurant and a private boat trip on the river/ canal. Peach was incredibly informative and simply the best tour guide ever. We could not have asked for a better day.
- Nohapittman00Private tour with PeachOur guide Peach was absolutely wonderful!! She sat with us at the beginning to figure out our interests and planned the perfect day. She was so knowledgeable about everything and told us awesome stories about everything. It was really a once in a lifetime experience. She was so sweet and so prepared. Ask for Peach as your guide!
- F7912UYdg00Amazing Tour throughout BangkokThank you so much PEACH for this amazing tour today. I had a wonderful time with you. We have seen so much inside Bangkok and in country side. A truly unforgettable experience. I look forward to come back again soon and have you showing me so much more from Thailand. Thanks again so much for sharing all your knowledge about this amazing city. Kind regards Daniel

Our tour guide, Elena, was very welcoming and kind! We began by sitting down and discussing all the options for the tour, including the floating market which we ended up visiting (would recommend). She took care of booking all transportation and planned out the trip to fit in as much as possible. When we would visit each location she would give us a lot of information about the history of said location, which was amazing! She also brought us to unique locations we had no idea existed before the tour. At the end of the day my boyfriend and I asked her for a recommendation for a massage place, and she not only recommended one, she brought us there and translated what we wanted for us before leaving, staying longer than she had to!
Overall, amazing service and great tips and tricks for touring around Thailand. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour, thank you to Elena!

Unfortunately, we (a family of three with a college-age daughter) were pretty disappointed with this tour, which seems to be different than most people’s experiences. Obviously, so much will depend on your particular guide. We had Note, who was a very nice and friendly guy, but we had to work hard to understand his English and his explanations consisted of very simple sentence constructions that didn’t add a lot to what we could figure out on our own. In the end, we let him leave us an hour and half earlier than scheduled because we simply weren’t getting much out of the experience.
But beyond this, there were a few things we weren’t happy about. First, one of our few advance requests was to get massages in Wat Pho (there is a massage school in the temple complex, and it is a cool thing to do). He knew this, but rather than getting our names on the wait list when we first arrived there and exploring the temple during the wait, he took us there at the end of our visit when there was an hour-long wait and we had to forego this experience.
Also, he suggested we spend the afternoon at a less visited floating market (Khlong Lat Mayom), which sounded like it would be fun but was mostly a waste of time and money, with a lot of effort to get there and very little to see. He encouraged us to hire a private boat for one hour at an additional cost of 1500 Baht, which we agreed to, but when we got to the dock we found that we could join a small group 40-min tour for 100 Baht each (and that the private hire should have cost 1200—what was the extra 300 for???). We then said we would prefer to join with two other tourists we met there to do the small group tour, but he insisted the private tour would be much better and that we would visit an orchid farm. So we asked if the other two tourists could join us on the private boat (to help cut the costs), and he refused to allow that. As it turned out, our “much better” private boat tour was over and done in 30 minutes, of which more than half the time was spent at a pretty rundown and small orchid “farm”. We couldn’t believe what that had cost us and how little we got for our money, not to mention the cost of taxis to get out there. And there was nothing “floating” about this market—it was a bunch of food stalls and vendors alongside a canal.
What we had been hoping for—a culturally immersive experience that oriented us to Bangkok—definitely didn’t happen. We felt like we wasted at least half a day and spent a lot more money than we expected or than was necessary to spend. We'll give two stars because the visit to the temples was OK, and he did show up on time and seemed to know his way around, which is helpful.

I'm sorry you didn't enjoy your time with Guide Note, unfortunately matching tour guides to clients is a little like a blind date.
If our only redeeming feature was we arrive on time, then we have really let our client down, and that is obviously not what gets us so many five star reviews.
I cannot comment on why Guide Note went about he did the Wat Pho massage school, from your description it does sounds like massive oversight, I wish I could give you more details about his reasoning.
As for the canal tour, there are many options around the water ways, there are public ferries on the rivers, both private and public ferries that go into deeper into the waterways.
For anyone wanting to know the difference, please feel free to contact us directly or visit our website which has outlines of various different iterations.
Finally not all floating markets are the same, basically in Thai it is 'Salad Naam', which is Water Market, and it refers to to a market that can be on, next to, around, or in a canal. Basically means that is accessible by the waterways, some place you arrive by boat, some places you walk around and the boats come to you and finally you are in the boat and the market is on the sides of canal.
In Bangkok city the most popular Water Market/Floating Market is deep in the canal and takes 30-40 minutes to reach depending on the weirs and boat traffic. Now you're at the market you can walk around the boardwalk, and also buy food and goods from boats floating in the market. Depending on the time of day they can be moored against the walkway. The cost for taxi to return is considerably cheaper than cost to have your boat wait for your to return to pier on the main river.
I can only assume this client expectation was the famously photographed Damnoen Saduak floating market which is around 100km west of Bangkok city, something that would take about 4 hours and private transport services to visit.
If you like to discuss guides, floating markets or anything in between please contact us thru our website and we'll be happy to answer and questions before you book our services.
It is possible to book our product thru 3rd party websites, but talking to us directly about your expectation before your tour will give everyone the best possible chance to have the best possible tour.

This review was due a year ago. I had to transit in Bangkok on the way to Bhutan. I was glad that Peach was my guide. We met at the airport at noon when my flight arrived, then she helped me to have my luggage stored at the airport and got a money exchanged with a terrific rate at the airport. We then took the metro to my hotel in town. She taught me the details how to buy the tickets, used the machine etc so the next day I can independently used the metro to get back to the airport to continue my journey.
After check in at the hotel we head to the Grand Palace, Wat Po, and we watched a cultural performance. She let me sat and rest while she stood on the line and got the VIP seat for us. Afterward she took my picture with the performance too.
While we were in a tour not only she took my pictures ( no need for selfie) but also she helped me with best location for memorable photos.
As it was then dark, instead of going to Wat Arun, she was able to reserved a spot for dinner in a restaurant across the river to watch and take pictures of Wat Arun at sunset.
I enjoyed my short stay in Bangkok, thanks to Peach.

By booking just a guide with no driver we saved money and time (Bangkok traffic is terrible) while getting a highly experienced, informative guide. Oil, our guide, spoke great English, knew her city and how to efficiently pack in all my big wish list must sees. Since it was just our group of 4 we could go at our own pace and see what we wanted. She gave us plenty of historical as well as social info. So much better than going it alone, hustling with a big group or paying a premium for a private guide and driver together.

Nina was pleasant, skillful, patient and very attentive to our needs. By the time the day was over we felt we had seen all of Bangkok without feeling rushed...we would all highly recommend Nina when looking for a great tour of Bangkok. We experienced every mode of transportation and were able to see sights from our trip along the canal as well as visiting sites in and around the city, ending our day with the Skywalk! Wonderful host😊

My guide Yuut was amazing! He took me around all the different temples and explained so much of the history and significance of various things. I got to travel like a local as we took the water taxi through the canals and got to see many different things about Bangkok. He negotiated all the tuk tuk rides so we always paid a good price. He knew his way around the city very well. After finishing up all the temples I wanted to see we had some time left and he recommended Golden Mount to see. It was my favorite! Great walk up to the temple and phenomenal views of Bangkok from the top. I very much enjoyed my experience with Yuut and so glad he was my guide! I highly recommend him to anyone visiting Bangkok. Thanks Yuut!

Our experience with Your Thai Guide was excellent. Booking was straightforward- the crew at YTG was quick to reply to requests, everything was well organized and clearly communicated.
Our guide was Peach, and she was terrific. Peach reached out to our hotel the day prior to our scheduled tour date confirming our meeting time and location. The day of our tour she arrived right on time at our hotel. We spent 10 mins or so going over our plan for the day. Peach made some suggestions on how to spend the day, but ultimately we stuck with our preferred locations. Peach helped out with arranging taxi from our hotel to a local market, and that’s where we kicked off our day. Having an experienced local guide with us allowed for us to be relaxed all day, there was never those stressful moments of trying to navigate around a new city, nor was there any wasted time figuring out how to get to the next place. Peach knew the quickest ways to get around the city, she knew exactly how to avoid the long queues for tickets at the popular attractions, and she provided insightful commentary throughout the day no matter where we were. Taxi rides were an opportunity to learn about the city as we moved around town. I noticed our taxi drivers listening in on the tour too! We enjoyed time at two local markets, walking around sampling food, and seeing a more local side of the city before visiting the grand palace and reclining buddha, we ended our day at the flower market. Peach seemed genuinely excited to show us around even tough I’m positive she’s seen the same places a million times. Peach had a thermos of ice water and even had little towels that she soaked in the cold water- these little refreshing breaks were a welcomed reprieve from the hot humid day. I could see the look of envy from all the other travelers as they walked past. Not only was peach a terrific host, but she was our photojournalist that day too. She took so many wonderful photos of my wife and I. This is our first trip where we have wonderful photographs to share with family and friends, not just photos of where we went and what we saw. Peach and YTG- Thanks for a wonderful first day in Bangkok your professionalism and warm hospitality couldn’t have been any better.

Peach had a thermos of ice water and even had little towels that she soaked in the cold water- these little refreshing breaks were a welcomed reprieve from the hot humid day. I could see the look of envy from all the other travelers as they walked past. Not only was peach a terrific host, but she was our photojournalist that day too. She took so many wonderful photos of my wife and I. This is our first trip where we have wonderful photographs to share with family and friends, not just photos of where we went and what we saw. Peach and YTG- Thanks for a wonderful first day in Bangkok your professionalism and warm hospitality couldn’t have been any better.

We sent a few "musts" and some additional "would be nices" in advance, and our tour guide Dew did not disappoint. We spent a full day getting to know the city, how to use different modes of transit (which was also on our "must" list), eating delicious food and being exposed to history and culture. Dew was knowledgeable, friendly and spoke English very well. Some of the highlights included Wat Arun, eating our way through Chinatown and visiting the Jim Thompson House. It was a great introduction to Bangkok and a way to get comfortable with the city as well. I can't recommend this experience more.

We had a wonderful time with Oil, who was very friendly and fun to talk to. Throughout the tour, she was saying hello and joking around with the guards, ticketers, etc at the various sights we visited. She took us on the train, ferry, bus, and a couple tuk tuks to see Wat Arun, Wat Pho and the giant reclining Buddha (which was bigger than we were expecting!), the golden mount, and the snake farm. We also had a very satiating lunch at Krua Apsorn, where Oil helped us order some delicious dishes.
Oil went above and beyond getting just the right angle for some of our photos (like even getting down on the ground to fit the entire stupa in the background!), and she's great with kids. We ran into some of our other family at the snake farm, and she was wonderful with our 2.5 year old twin nephews... not too mention playing around with some of the other children we came across along the rest of our tour. So, if you have kiddos of your own, Oil would be an amazing guide to have!

We hired tour guide Apple for one day on 18th February. She actually arrived 45 minutes early as she has to commute into the city but left us to finish our breakfast before meeting at the scheduled time. She then took a short while to go through our intended itinerary before we headed out to use a variety of buses, sky train and river boats on our day out.
Apple is lovely. She is very knowledgeable about her country’s and Bangkok’s history and culture and obviously takes great pleasure in imparting this information to her clients. She speaks excellent English and has a great sense of humour.
We saw everything that we wanted to see, had an authentic Thai lunch at the Thai Naval Club and feel that we now have a much better understanding of Bangkok or Krung Thep as Apple advised as being its real Thai name.
The day was very good value for money and I would certainly recommend the services of Apple.

Hello,
I booked a private tour guide with perfect English through Viator on Tripadvisor. Our guide had been a former monk so his expertise was with the various temples in and around Bangkok but I am sure Viator would be able to extend recommendations.

Sorry, I booked this thru Trip Advisor.. so don't recall ( it was 5 months ago.) I DO remember that I thought it was incredibly inexpensive... around 100-125. (?) for the day for our whole family ( 4 people).
