Thailand Private Tours & Local Tour Guides

“Outstanding professionalism, flexibility, and heartfelt hospitality”

As a licensed interpreter-guide and CEO of Musubi Ltd. with over 20 years in Japan’s inbound luxury travel, I recently joined a tour in Thailand that truly impressed me with its professionalism and heartfelt hospitality. Arriving late at night, I stayed at the airport-connected Hyatt Regency. Before booking the tour, I asked if I could be dropped off at a different hotel in Bangkok afterward. Mr. Leo’s prompt and accommodating response gave me peace of mind. At 7:30 AM, I met our friendly guide Mr. Scotty and driver Ms. Coco. The spacious MG van was stocked with cold water, tissues, and wet towels—details that made me feel genuinely welcomed and comfortable. During the ride, Mr. Scotty shared engaging stories about Thai food and culture. Sensing my interest in spirituality, he made a spontaneous stop at a temple in Maeklong City, where I took part in a traditional Buddhist ritual. It was an unforgettable and moving experience. At Maeklong Railway Market, we boarded the train early to secure seats and enjoyed the unique thrill of riding through the bustling market. Smiles from local vendors as the train passed were heartwarming. Later, we visited a 190-year-old coconut farm and met a kind local family. Their warm hospitality, coupled with the strong relationship they had with our guide, made the visit truly special. We then explored the floating market by paddle boat and even bought fresh fruit from neighboring boats. Lunch was served at a serene riverside restaurant—flavorful yet mild Thai dishes followed by coconut ice cream in a shell, beautifully garnished with flowers. From start to finish, the tour was seamless. Mr. Scotty and Ms. Coco worked in harmony, ensuring my safety and comfort. Afterward, I even received a thoughtful thank-you message from Mr. Leo. This experience reminded me why small details and genuine hospitality matter. I wholeheartedly recommend this tour to anyone seeking a meaningful and well-curated experience in Thailand.

“Best Tour Guide you could ask for”

Saroj is the most genuine, kind and caring tour guide. He goes over and above. I was dubious booking as he had so few reviews but i am so pleased i followed my gut instinct and we choose Saroj. He is charming, polite and extremely courteous. When i emailed him 6 months ago, i asked him to prepare an itinerary for myself and 17 year old son. i gave a few places which were a must but the rest was all Saroj’s suggestion. He combined culture and experiences so that we covered both mine and my son’s needs. I even asked about what we should do in the evenings and again he gave lovely ideas and actually booked the evening activities. These were so varied from a Dinner River Cruise, Muay Thai boxing and the Ladyboys of Bangkok. Two weeks before arriving I was full of questions to which he replied in an extremely polite and detailed way - he even told me how to get to the taxi rank in the airport! On meeting Saroj, I knew within 5 minutes that we were in the best hands. Saroj’s breadth of knowledge about Thai culture, history, geography and religion gave us an incredible insight into Thailand. He was so thoughtful, for example bringing cultural foods for us to try, continuously offering to pay for his own food, and offering to wait outside a venue the whole evening just to give us a ride out hotel. Saroj offered to take photos of my son & I so i have wonderful memories. I was also incredibly grateful that Saroj had a large, comfortable and clean car with air conditioning, which was a blessing in the Bangkok weather!

“Oh my goodness, Leo is wonderful ”

Leo is such a kind and friendly guide. He has a great knowledge of the sites he took us to. And he had arranged for a driver, which was totally unexpected. We truly enjoyed our day with Leo and we would love to see more of Bangkok with him when we come back.
