My name is “Kanny”, and I would like to be the tour guide on your next adventure in Thailand. My full name is “Kanchana” meaning “gold” in English. Also, my Thai nickname is “Buay” meaning “Plum” in English. This name was given to me by my grandpa, since it was his hope that I would be able to survive my life, and become patient like the Plum flower which only blossoms in the winter.

I come from Chachoengsao, a small province in the eastern part of Thailand which is famous for one of the most auspicious Buddha images, the “Luang Phor Sothorn”. This Buddha image is approximately 80 kilometers from Bangkok, and it can be visited on a one day trip from most areas of Bangkok city.

On our tour together, I will give you as much information based on real Thai history, as well as provide you with the stories of what local people believe so that you are able to see and feel the authentic, local atmosphere of sites throughout Bangkok city.

On our tour, we will work as a team in order to find the perfect match between your travel schedule and you adventurous plans. I want you to see, hear, smell, and taste in the real local people’s senses. I promise you, if you open your heart, you will see the real Bangkok with me.

One of my fondest memories of being a tour guide is when I was able to support a family reunion of one of my customers. I truly feel that some of the happiest moments of life are spent with family. I get great joy from when I can see family members growing closer together because of the time they have spent on a holiday in Thailand.

I am a very detailed and organized person. I stick to the plan with correct timetable. - Kanny

If I had to describe my style of tour in four words:

- Lively
- Knowledgeable
- Adaptable
- Punctual

I have been a tour guide since 2023. I am personally interested in Thai history, Thai food, and the country’s people. I constantly remain updated about the attractive locations that are of interest to foreigners visiting Thailand. My own personal interests gives me more passion to deliver information to all of my guests.

Let me tell you more about myself:

My own travel experience

Grand Palace is one of my favorite places in Bangkok to visit with my guests. The Grand Palace is so full of history, and I appreciate being able to share this information, and related stories, with my guests. For this reason, I really enjoy doing tours with first-time visitors to Thailand and family groups.

A few of my other favorite tours include, taking my guests to good restaurants that are recognized by the Michelin guide or have received a Michelin star, and seeing more of Bangkok via its canal system (known as the Venice of Asia).

My professional experience

My professional career before becoming a tour guide was within the international business and retail industries. I graduated with a bachelor’s degree from Thammasat University and a master’s degree from Chulalongkorn University. I have also completed an MBA course and completed my tour guide studies at Silpakorn University.

My personal goals & Interests

I am interested in reading, writing, gardening and cooking. When I am not doing tours, I love to sit in my small garden with a cup of coffee while reading one of my many favorite books.

Please feel free to contact us and together we can create a personalized itinerary for your amazing trip to Thailand. Kanny is available 7 days a week from US$116 for you to 8 hours as a tour guide in and around the Bangkok area.

Best guide ever in Bangkok, we spent an incredible day with Kanny. Truly the best guide you could imagine. From the moment we met her, she was respectful, thoughtful, and clearly well-prepared for every part of the tour. Her warm personality made us feel instantly comfortable.

Kanny tailored the day perfectly to our interests, but also surprised us with hidden gems we never would’ve found on our own. That balance of flexibility and expert guidance made the experience feel extra special.

We’re already missing her and wouldn’t hesitate for a second to repeat the experience. If you’re coming to Bangkok, we absolutely recommend asking for Kanny. She made our visit unforgettable!

Fantastic, fun, full day! We had such a wonderful time with Kanny, hitting all the main sights of Bangkok and enjoying some seriously amazing food along the way. From start to finish, it was packed with energy and excitement.

We took a scenic canal boat tour, visited the Grand Palace and the Reclining Buddha, and stopped for a delicious lunch that really hit the spot. Later, we wandered through the vibrant flower markets and explored the colorful streets of Chinatown.

Kanny was absolutely amazing—so helpful, warm, and lovely to spend the day with. She made everything smooth, fun, and easy. Truly a fun-filled experience we’ll remember for a long time!

Fantastic, fun day! We had limited time to explore Bangkok, so we asked our guide to help us figure out the best plan and Kanny absolutely delivered. She was fantastic from start to finish: fun, knowledgeable, and full of great energy.

Kanny was so generous with her time and really patient in answering all our questions about Thai history, culture, and daily life. We learned a ton and never felt rushed, just well taken care of and fully immersed in the experience.

It was such a wonderful day, packed with highlights and meaningful moments. We’re so grateful for everything Kanny shared with us. Thank you so much for making our short time in Bangkok so memorable!

Wonderful day with Kanny! We did the full-day tour with her and it was simply amazing from start to finish. Kanny is such a lovely person; warm, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. She really made the day feel easy and enjoyable.

One of the most impressive things was how she handled a tough situation. My friend lost her wallet, and Kanny immediately focused all her energy on helping us find it. Thanks to her, we did! That level of care and dedication says so much about who she is.

Kanny, you’re absolutely wonderful, both as a guide and as a person. I truly hope we get to cross paths again someday. Highly recommended to anyone visiting Bangkok!

Fun, easy, and totally worthwhile tour! Our guide Kanny was absolutely amazing, super knowledgeable, friendly, and incredibly kind. She made everything feel relaxed and stress-free while still packing the day with great sights and experiences.

What we really appreciated was how she listened to what we wanted to see and made sure we hit every spot on our list. It felt so personalized, and we never felt rushed or overwhelmed.

We can’t recommend Kanny enough. If you’re visiting Bangkok, she’s the guide you want. We’d definitely tour with her again on any future trips. She made the day feel special from beginning to end!

Magical day in Bangkok! Our guide, Kanny, was everything we could have hoped for: responsive, knowledgeable, friendly, and so much fun. We saw all the highlights we had on our list, but also discovered hidden gems we never would’ve found on our own.

One of the most touching moments was getting to eat at a special place that held memories for both Kanny and me, since I lived in Bangkok 30 years ago. It made the day feel deeply personal and meaningful.

Kanny brought Thai history and culture to life in such an engaging, easy-to-understand way. She was also incredibly thoughtful with our kids and made sure we returned to our hotel safe and happy. We were genuinely sad to say goodbye to this wonderful new friend.

My guide was Kanny, and I’m so glad I had her with me for my day exploring Bangkok. There are so many reasons I’d recommend her!

First, Kanny really listened to what I wanted from the day. I had my sights set on visiting the Grand Palace, Wat Pho, and Wat Arun, and she planned the day perfectly around that. I also told her I was open to other ideas if we had extra time, and she offered great suggestions throughout the day. She kept things on schedule but was flexible whenever I wanted to linger, take photos, or pause for a break.

She’s also incredibly skilled at navigating Bangkok by tuk tuk, boat, or road. She knew the best ways to move between the sites and quickly adapted when traffic or other issues came up. Honestly, I don’t think I could have managed to visit all three major landmarks on my own without her help.

What stood out most was her deep knowledge of the places we visited. From murals and statues to temple architecture and Thai history, Kanny connected everything in a way that brought real meaning to what I was seeing, much more than what I’d read in guidebooks before the trip.

Kanny was full of energy, so patient, and genuinely enthusiastic throughout our full 8-hour day. She answered all my questions and kindly helped take lots of photos since I was traveling solo. If I ever return to Thailand, I truly hope Kanny will be available to guide me again, she made my trip unforgettable.

Best tour ever with Kanny and Your Thai Guide! Booking through this site was such a great decision, everything about the day was incredible. Kanny was patient, knowledgeable, and really tuned in to exactly what we were hoping to experience.

We explored the Grand Palace, Wat Arun, and Wat Pho, took a scenic canal longboat tour, wandered through a local market, had a delicious Thai lunch at a local spot, rode a tuk tuk, and ended the day at the vibrant Thai flower market. Kanny’s English was excellent, and her warm, friendly personality made the day even better.

If you want to experience Bangkok the right way, this is the tour to book. I did a lot of research beforehand, and I can honestly say… it couldn’t have gone better. Highly recommend!
