Sawasdee ka! I'm Buay, a friendly and enthusiastic host in the vibrant city of Bangkok. My heart is deeply connected to this city's rich history, the exquisite traditional Thai arts and designs found in our temples, and, of course, the irresistible Thai cuisine and local street food. I adore wandering around Bangkok's majestic temples and museums, soaking in the cultural heritage that each corner of this city offers. As a lover of Thai arts and history, I'm excited to share insights about Bangkok's past and present. For those who appreciate a good cup of coffee and the beauty of street art, I know countless hidden gems and beautiful cafes across Bangkok. Let's explore the heart of Thai culture together in this enchanting city!

My reviews

Buay met us on time at an easy location, she was smiley & knew a lot! She showed us the major tourist sites we requested (Grand Palace & temple) and we learnt many things we would never have found out. She was very flexible with the children & finding cold drinks, shade, a toilet etc. She then took us to see the more local, hidden side of Bangkok with a canal tour & through a local market - we would never have seen this without her help & was just brilliant! She was very good at keeping the tour going but amending it if we wanted to stay longer or shorter in different places. Well worth it & would hire Buay again for sure!

Buay was incredibly knowledgeable and engaging. Thoroughly enjoyed the tour. We covered a lot in four hours.
