Hi, I am Note. I am a friendly, openminded, enthusiastic guide that takes pride in helping visitors discover all facets of my beautiful country. My real Thai name is long and my guests find it difficult to pronounce so I decided to choose Note as my nickname because it is easy to remember.
I enjoy taking care of a small group or a family, so that I can give full attention to each and every participant and answer any question that you may have. I am happy whenever I can satisfy my clients' desires and provide them with the best holiday experience ever.
I consider myself to be an energetic person, optimistic, friendly and absolutely service minded. - Note

I have been fortunate to make many friends from numerous countries. I believe that my guests and friends appreciate my cheerful personality. I pride myself on carefully looking after my customers’ safety during every tour.
I was born in the southern part of Thailand, in Phang Nga province and spent the last 38 years living and working in Bangkok. Being a travel guide is hard work but I like being a guide as I enjoy meeting and speaking with many different people from around the world. I am happy to use the English language every day and I am proud every time I can help my new friends discover all the interesting places of my beautiful country.
I lived in Sydney, Australia for 1 year to improve my proficiency in English. Traveling is my passion and I was privileged to visit numerous countries, such as Australia, New Zealand, Canada, France, Switzerland, Italy, Germany, Austria, Hungary and also Asian countries such as Japan, China, Laos, Cambodia, Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore.
I graduated in Business Administration from Ramkhamhaeng University in 1988 and obtained my tour guide license from Silpakorn University in 1997 and have been guiding visitors throughout Thailand for 15 years. I enjoy telling my guests about Thai culture, art and historical events, but also about the present day situation in Thailand, be it in terms of politics, economy, education or simply modern day life. Whilst I was working as a customer service officer at the British Council, I also acted as a private guide for visitors to Bangkok and other places in Thailand on several occasions.
I really love to travel. My wish is to travel to London, New York and the South of India within the foreseeable future. In my personal time I enjoy swimming, studying architecture, and traveling.
Please feel free to contact us and together we can create a personalized itinerary for your amazing trip to Thailand. Note is available 7 days a week from US$116 for you to 8 hours as a tour guide in and around the Bangkok area.
We had an excellent day out with our guide Note.
He met us at our hotel promptly and we discussed where we wanted to go plus he suggested a few steps as-well.
He was always asking us if we wanted to stop but we were a hardy bunch.
We had to pay for any transport, plus drinks and lunch for our guide but we knew that from the start.
I would highly recommend this tour as we learned so much more than the last time I came to Bangkok.
We booked a tour with Your Thai Guide for our first day in Bangkok, and it was a great experience that helped us get familiar with this vibrant and exciting city! Our guide Note was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly.
Note helped us get the most out of our must-see destinations (such as Wat Arun, the Royal Palace, Wat Pho) while also making great suggestions that enhanced our trip! Highlights included lunch at a delicious spot along the Chao Phraya river that only locals were eating in, as well as a boat ride through Bangkok’s canals that was one of the best parts of our stay.
Note was a warm, caring and fun person to spend a day with, and we were lucky to have him as our guide! As first-timers in Thailand, this tour helped us get to know our way around Bangkok and learn about Thai history and culture.
We definitely recommend this tour to other visitors. We have fallen in love with Bangkok!
My tour guide, Note, was the perfect guide.
Very knowledgeable and flexible during the tour. He was fluent in English and was able to answer all my questions about culture, etc.
He was also very flexible in changing the schedule to meet my needs.
It was a great day, John E.
Very good, personalized tour. Highly recommendable.
Tour guide Note was very creative when it came to our requests about the “non touristic” Bangkok.
We did spend a great day with him.
Fantastic way to experience Bangkok.
Our guide, Note, took exceptional care of us, was very knowledgeable and fun to be with.
His historical knowledge was impressive as was his overall feel for what we hoped to get out of the tour.
Doing this was definitely a highlight of our trip and recommended to all.
We were met at our hotel by our tour guide (Note) who sat us down and explained everything that was scheduled for that day.
We were able to choose different things to do prior to our trip and Note wanted to make sure that everything that he had planned was a good fit for exactly what we wanted.
He told us that the cost for the day would be approximately “x” amount and he took that money up front which made the day effortless on our part.
He would stand in the lines and get our tickets for us while we would wait in the shade.
He walked us through the day step by step explaining everything along the way. We went to the Grand Palace first. Note explained the history of all of the kings and queens, princes and princesses. It was very interesting and beautiful! Next we went to Wat Pho (the reclining Buddha).
This temple was just as beautiful as the first one but in a different way.
I highly recommend visiting a few temples while in Bangkok. It is definitely something everyone needs to experience if they have the opportunity.
One word of advice, make sure that you cover your chest, shoulders, and ankles because you will not be allowed inside the gates otherwise.
We ate just outside the gates of Wat Pho for lunch and had an amazing authentic Thai lunch. B
e careful about how much spice you ask for! The Thai people like very spicy food but it is delicious!!
Overall, we had such an amazing time!
I truly believe that Note (our tour guide) made this experience 10 times better than doing this on our own!
Very happy with this tour, our guide Mr. Note was very very friendly and also very accommodating.
We had a most enjoyable day.
Our guide Note was a great guide.
His knowledge of the Thai history & culture was astounding.
I recommend him!
Nice tour and although we had a full day of rain.
Our guide Note tried his best to cope with the horrible weather conditions, so that we still had the chance to see the highlights of Bangkok.
Note was very friendly, informative and was very attentive to our needs.
His English was very good but his pronunciation needed some work!
He sorted out all our tickets to make the day stress free and made sure we got the most out of our visit.
Our Tour Guide for the day was Note who was skilled and passionate about what he does.
He escorted us to all the places we had previously selected along with a “local” restaurant he knew about. He had the right level of knowledge for us as we wanted to understand what we were looking at but not be drowned in information.
His English was clear and easy to understand…
Also knew the best places and how to avoid as many of the big tour groups that is possible.
If you are looking for a customized tour specific to items and locations of interest to you then, I recommend you consider “Your Thai Guide.
Bangkok is an exciting city, but daunting to a first time visitor with a big wish list of places to see.
We put our trust in my Thai guide and our guide Note.
First what a nice guy he called our hotel the night before to check he had all our plans covered, he was there on time and got us under way with a short tuk tuk drive to the Grand Palace the day went seamlessly his knowledge and enthusiasm were first class.
The private longboat trip he fitted in at a moments notice was impressive, all day went so well. At the end of the day Note suggested things to do on the next day, wrote instructions in Thai for us to give to the taxi driver what a star.
Thank you
Note was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable and a very nice guy with a very god command of English.
We visited Wat Arun, Wat Pho and the reclining Buddha, then the Great Palace.
He took us to a very nice place for lunch and then we finished up with a visit to Chinatown.
He collected us from our hotel at 9am and we parted at 3pm although we could have have carried on until 5 had we had the energy.
Very good value for money.
Note was our guide for the day. We saw and experienced much much more than we would have done on our own.
Note was a splendid guide sharing his knowledge of the places we visited along with tips for the rest of our stay. It was a busy day but done at our own pace. I can thoroughly recommend having a guide for the day.
Note explained everything with passion and enthusiasm.
As I say book a guide through “Your Thai Guide” and you won’t be disappointed.
Great value for money.
We were only going to be in Bangkok for one night and wanted to make sure we got to see as much as possible.
I sent them a list of locations of places I wanted to see to plan beforehand. We met our tour guide, Mr. Note, around 1pm and he had a list of places to go in order and ready to go.
We set out to explore immediately and was very please with the level of knowledge and information he shared with us.
We toured for about 6 hours in really hot weather, but we were able to see what I wanted and had a great time.
