Hello, I am Chok. It is a pleasure to meet you. My name Chok, which when pronounced in Thai language sounds a lot like the English word Joke, might mean that I am a bit of a jokester at heart. I tell my english friends to call me Joker because it is easy for them to remember and it sets a light and friendly mood for the day. I love being a tour guide and, while I can be serious when I need to be, I would rather if we are able to share a laugh and enjoy ourselves during our time together.
I would be very happy to take you on a private tour around Bangkok or even further afield. I especially enjoy adventure activities and getting out in the middle of of it all, but don’t think that I wouldn’t be just as happy taking you to a collection of temples and historical sites. I guess I am truly passionate about every good place I can show you in Thailand.
Why does everything have to be so serious? Let’s share a laugh and day together - Joke
Book a tour with me if:
- You like getting in the middle of it all
- You enjoy adventure activities
- You don’t mind spending the day with a jokester
Let me tell you more about myself:
My own travel & professional experience
I have been to many provinces of Thailand and I have also visited neighboring countries in Asia. I have been a guide for more than 12 years now. Before being a tour guide I worked in customer service at the Bangkok International Airport, so I’ve been helping travelers for a long time. I enjoy learning about other cultures as much, if not more, than I love sharing about my own.
My personal goals & Interests
To continue improving my skills to be able to learn and have new and unique experiences every day with interesting and fun people from all over the world.
Please feel free to contact us and together we can create a personalized itinerary for your amazing trip to Thailand. Joke is available 7 days a week from US$116 for you to 8 hours as a tour guide in and around the Bangkok area.
Kaitlin W. reviews Wallop ‘Joke’ Kittiwititkun
I booked two tours with Your Thai Guide; one of Bangkok city sights and the other out to Ayutthaya. The service and consideration of the company, and our guide Joker, made our experience so special.
Coming to Thailand during the mourning period for King Rama IX meant some of the sites were closed, free, or had different hours. Joker did a wonderful job modifying my itinerary to accommodate these closures and still make the overall experience one I won’t forget!
I would highly suggest the Ayutthaya day trip option. It was wonderful to get out of the city and see the historical sites of the old Capitol. Having an air conditioned van with cold water and cold towels between the stops really helped this American manage the Thai heat!
Molly M. reviews Wallop ‘Joker’ Kittiwititkun
We highly recommend this tour. Do not try seeing the city or the temples on your own, you will miss out on so much.
Our guide Joker was friendly, knowledgeable, flexible, prepared, intelligent, thoughtful, fun, and an expert when it came to Thai cooking and way of life. He made the complex history of Bangkok very easy to understand, and he made us want to learn more.
Joker pushed us to try new things and to fully respect the customs and history of Bangkok. He made sure that we were appropriately dressed and appeared respectful when entering temples. He taught us a few Thai phrases and how to interact with vendors, monks, and fellow citizens of Bangkok.
We learned and experienced so much in a short amount of time. Joker was a lot fun and interesting in learning from us as well. His love for Thailand and the city of Bangkok was very easy to see.
His passion for spicy Thai food was contagious and pushed us to enjoy and experience as much as we could while in the country. The smile and laugh of the Thai people is genuine and he showed us how much this country has to offeor.
Joe T. reviews Wallop ‘Joke’ Kittiwititkun
We spent two full days in Bangkok and the surrounding area with our guide, Joke. From the moment we reached out to book a guide, the YTG team was responsive and helpful. Email replies were fast, and we confirmed our must-see landmarks months ahead of our trip. Big thanks to Chris and Natt for coordinating everything so smoothly.
After finalizing the itinerary, we paid a deposit via PayPal and settled the rest after the tour. They stayed flexible, allowing us to adjust the schedule even after booking, which was a huge plus.
On the first day, Joke took us to the Flower Market, Grand Palace, Wat Pho, Chatuchak Weekend Market, and a private river and canal tour. We wrapped up the day with dinner at Thip Samai, a famous Pad Thai spot in Bangkok—and it lived up to the hype.
Day two was packed with highlights outside the city. We visited the Train Market, Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, a palm sugar plantation, an elephant park, and a tiger zoo. Joke felt more like a historian than a guide, explaining everything clearly while keeping the mood light and fun.
He also carried a tablet and took photos for us throughout the day. That let us stay in the moment instead of fiddling with our phones. Before we flew to Krabi, he emailed all the pictures—and they turned out amazing.
The experience felt smooth and unrushed. The tour included a roomy, air-conditioned minivan and a driver who kept us comfortable with cold towels and bottled water at every stop.
We never had to wait in line, which made the whole trip feel even more special. We highly recommend Your Thai Guide. If you’re exploring Bangkok, these are the people to book with. You won’t be disappointed.
Emma M. reviews Wallop ‘Joke’ Kittiwititkun
We really enjoyed the eight hours that we got together with our guide who called himself Joker. He was very professional and told us so much about Thailand, their culture, history and religion.
According to our wishes he had planned the day perfect so that we could see and visit all the things we wanted. We have nothing to complain about and we gladly recommend Wallop ‘Joker’ Kittiwititkun to anyone else traveling to Bangkok.
Karey I. reviews Wallop ‘Joke’ Kittiwititkun
Your Thai Guide was easy to book with from the beginning, communication was clear and excellent. I picked Joker as my guide, because, his reviews are great, and he seemed like someone I would get on nicely with, personality-wise. My intuition was correct!
We toured the Grand Palace, Wat Pho, and had lunch after. We could have done more, but I had only been in Bangkok a little over 24 hours, and was still adjusting to the time change, so I voluntarily cut our trip a little short to go get some rest.
Joker is an amazing guide. From the time he met me at my hotel, he was showing me and explaining things on the cab ride to the Grand Palace. He went over important emergency phone numbers that I needed to know as well.
When we got to the Grand Palace, Joker was able to navigate the crowds smoothly, and get us in quickly.
Once inside the Grand Palace, (the size and beauty is staggering!) Joker took me around to the many sites, explaining what I was seeing, the history, and cultural context. This was priceless! It made the visit so much more richly rewarding and meaningful. In addition, as a solo traveler, he was very helpful taking pictures of me to share with friends at home.
Then we went to Wat Pho, where the enormous reclining Buddha resides. It was wonderful as well, much as the GP, with Joker guiding me through the site, its history, taking pictures, and sharing the Thai culture with me, as he clearly enjoys. (Tip: Don’t point your feet at the Buddha!)
Though I am certain that Joker has taken guests to these sites many times, it never felt scripted, or that he was just going through the motions.
At the end we had lunch and adjourned, because I was tired. I mentioned that I was interested in seeing the Muay Thai Live show…Joker hooked me up with tickets, and provided clear directions for transportation to the venue. Fantastic! He also gave me a card with his phone number, insisting that I call at any time for any reason.
Thank you, Joker, and thank you, Your Thai Guide!
Laura N. reviews Wallop ‘Joke’ Kittiwititkun
Joker was a great guide around Bangkok. He took us to several of the top sites- Wat Pho, Grand Palace- and was flexible on tweaking the schedule during the day when we decided we wanted to spend more time in Chinatown.
I really appreciate the flexibility on start time and schedule. We learned a lot and Joker’s information really enriched the experience of visiting these spots. Booking was extremely easy. Highly recommended!
Irma R. reviews Wallop ‘Joke’ Kittiwititkun
We had a fabulous day exploring Bangkok with Joker. We traveled by a myriad of transport options – tuk tuk, MRT, Skytrain, taxi and ferry. Joker’s knowledge of the venues we visited and of Thai history was exceptional. There wasn’t a question he couldn’t answer. He was also incredibly patient with our tired and grumpy four year old. We would highly recommend him.
We only booked two days prior and communication with the tour company was easy and hassle free. The ability to tailor make our itinerary was a deciding factor in choosing this tour.
Frederic R. reviews Wallop ‘Joke’ Kittiwititkun
“Fantastic.” Joker was the perfect guide: super informative, genuinely funny, and impressively efficient.
He kept things moving smoothly while making sure we got all the key highlights. At the same time, he kept us entertained with great stories, fun facts, and a few laughs along the way.
It felt like touring the city with a friend who knew every shortcut, every bit of history, and exactly when to throw in a joke to keep the energy up. Can’t recommend him highly enough.
Eric G. reviews Wallop ‘Joke’ Kittiwititkun
Well worth the trip. We were a family of six, and had the pleasure of spending two days in Bangkok with Joke as our guide.
He was soft-spoken, very informative, and incredibly patient throughout. Whether we had questions, last-minute changes, or special requests, he handled everything calmly and kindly.
Joke showed us around at a comfortable pace, and made sure we saw all the major sites while also helping us understand the stories behind them. A great guide who made our Bangkok visit smooth, fun, and memorable.
Teresa B. reviews Wallop ‘Joke’ Kittiwititkun
Joker was fantastic. He took us to the ancient capital and surrounding areas and made a great day for us all. We laughed (added at least 32 minutes to the length of our lives), he took us to a fun locals place for traditional lunch, and took pictures of us during our touring and then shared them with us.
Glenyse W. reviews Wallop ‘Joke’ Kittiwititkun
Thank you Joker for a wonderful day in Ayutthaya today. You provided so much information on the history of your beautiful country and also many laughs along the way.
If we’re ever in Bangkok again, we’ll be sure to look you up
Thanks again, Glenyse, Debbie & Wendy from Australia
Alon T. reviews Wallop ‘Joke’ Kittiwititkun
Joke is a real Pro. Besides his knowledge of the subject matter, Joke is extremely service-oriented and a really nice guy. He went over and beyond to insure our satisfaction. Worth every penny!
Michel A. reviews Wallop ‘Joke’ Kittiwititkun
Simply one of the best guides we have ever had. We have learned a lot with him. Always in a good mood and willing to make us happy and comfortable.
Not only him but our driver (Mr. Mit) as well. We thank you guys for the wonderful days we spent in Bangkok. Hope to see you again.
Steven Q. reviews Wallop ‘Joke’ Kittiwititkun
I had a great trip with Joker. His local knowledge really enhanced our experience and helped us understand Thailand on a deeper level.
Even though I’ve been to Bangkok many times for business, this trip made me see the city differently. I now have a much better appreciation for Thai culture and discovered so many interesting places I hadn’t seen before.
I’ll definitely recommend that my colleagues plan a visit to Bangkok soon. It’s a city with so much more to offer when you have a guide like Joker leading the way.
Katy W. reviews Wallop ‘Joke’ Kittiwititkun
We booked Joker for a day of palace/temples/river sightseeing in Bangkok with our two children (11&14). He was a really knowledgeable guide, who spoke good English and came up with an itinerary based on our suggestions plus his suggestion of a longtail boat trip on the river which we really enjoyed.
Easy booking process and received emails and a telephone call from Joke the day before confirming things. Highly recommended.
Angelie R. reviews Wallop ‘Joke’ Kittiwititkun
We travelled as family with 2 kids (3&8 yrs old). We can say that Joker made our stay in Bangkok pleasant and more comfortable. We all know that travelling with kids is not an easy thing to do but he was very patient and helpful and you can really rely to him on everything! Thanks joker!
Veronique M. reviews Wallop ‘Joke’ Kittiwititkun
I’d like to thank Joker for an amazing day in Bangkok. We had a list of places we wanted to visit: the Grand Palace, Taling Chan floating market, the Golden Buddha, and the Jim Thompson silk house. Not only did we get to see them all in one day, but we truly experienced each one.
Joker was incredibly informative. In just one day, I learned so much about Thai culture, history, and daily life. There’s no way I would have gained this level of insight doing the tour on my own.
He took us around by tuk tuk, taxi, and longtail boat, which made the day even more fun and immersive. Not having to deal with drivers or bargaining was a huge bonus. The Grand Palace is a must-see, but it’s a place where having a guide really makes all the difference.
Taling Chan floating market exceeded my expectations, especially the longtail boat ride there. Joker even ordered the most delicious lunch for us. We only had one day in Bangkok, and thanks to Joker, it was absolutely unforgettable.
Jenny L. reviews Wallop ‘Joke’ Kittiwititkun
We had Joker for a day and had the BEST time in Bangkok with him! Joker knows his history (he must have been a good student! -ha!) and how to get around the city efficiently.
Our kids (ages 12, 18, 20) enjoyed him as well. Joker is very entertaining. He took tons of pictures of us and sent them to us in a timely manner.
We were very happy to have Joker show us around Bangkok!
Shelle F. reviews Wallop ‘Joke’ Kittiwititkun
This is our first visit to Thailand and we just returned from a wonderful tour of the Grand Palace and Chinatown.
We booked our 8 am – 4 pm tour online on short notice and it went very smoothly. Our guide, Joker, picked us up at our hotel and took us to the Grand Palace. We were able to jump all of the cues and get access to the palace even though it was incredibly busy. Our tour was fabulous, Joker knew all of the history and was able to explain it all to us. Our oldest daughter got heatstroke and Joker very quickly arranged for an ambulance to pick her up and take care of her. Within 20 minutes she was feeling better and we were on our way. Amazingly enough there was no charge!
Because she wasn’t feeling well we were unable to continue so we went back to our hotel to rest for the afternoon. Joker was kind enough to agree to pick us up at 5 PM and take us to Chinatown then. We met and he took us on a fabulous tour through all of the different areas of Chinatown. We were able to do things that we never would’ve been able to do on our own. He took us to many different street food vendors and ordered us dishes that we would never have known to even try!
We would highly recommend a private tour with Joker. He was very kind, knowledgeable and flexible. It certainly made the most of our few days in Bangkok!
Rachel V. reviews Wallop ‘Joke’ Kittiwititkun
Last Friday Joke was our guide for a long day (8am – 10pm) visiting: Floating markets, war cemetery/museum, Bridge over the River Kwai, Tiger Temples and the Elephant camp. There is a fair bit of travel to get to these sites but Joke entertained us with lots of interesting facts and plenty of his own tales and jokes thrown in. His English is really good and he was also very good at balancing out the entertainment with time for us to snooze. Our driver Mit, was also very professional getting us from each attraction safely and comfortably while Joke explained everything.
We highly recommend Joke – very good value for money and great company and while it was a long day it was a great way to make the most of our last day in Bangkok (with all our luggage) as we were picked up at the hotel and dropped at the airport for our flight to Europe. Perfect!
Andrew L. reviews Wallop ‘Joke’ Kittiwititkun
I just came back from a visit to Thailand and had Joke as our Tour Guide. This is the 2nd time I have booked a tour with Joke. He is an excellent tour guide. His knowledge of Thai history is very good and he makes the tour lots of fun. I plan to book him again in October when I bring my sister for her first visit to Thailand.
Hannah W. reviews Wallop ‘Joke’ Kittiwititkun

My husband and I booked Joker on short notice for a one-day tour of Bangkok, and we’re so glad we did. From 8 to 4:30, he covered all the highlights—temples, markets, river cruising—but more importantly, he made the day much more than just sightseeing. He gave us a deeper understanding of Thai culture that we wouldn’t have gained on our own.
Joker quickly picked up on our love for trying new foods, so the tour naturally turned into a bit of a food adventure too, which was such a bonus. He’s incredibly adaptable, adjusting the pace and focus based on our interests without missing a beat.
We traveled around the city by train, boat, and tuk tuk, all while Joker shared rich stories and brought Thai history to life. He’s professional but friendly, and it’s clear he genuinely cares about his guests—offering helpful advice, sharing important phone numbers and directions, and even warning us about common tourist scams.
Overall, we had an amazing time with Joker and would highly, highly recommend him to anyone looking for an exceptional tour guide in Bangkok.
Julie B. reviews Wallop ‘Joke’ Kittiwititkun
Absolutely fantastic day. We enjoyed every moment of it. Very informative, Joke was very kind and very helpful.
He catered to us being vegetarian and really looked after us. Would highly recommend him and would definitely book him again. Thank you for a great experience Joke!
