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
- You like getting in the middle of it all
- You enjoy adventure activities
- You don’t mind spending the day with a jokester
My own travel & professional experienceI 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.
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.
Lai apskatītu Bangkoku izmantojām gidu Joke. Jau pāris nedēļas iepriekš rezervēju dienu un saskaņojām ekskursiju. Viņš ir ļoti zinošs par Bangkokas vēsturi un apskates objektiem.
Lai arī manas angļu valodas zināšanas ir niecīgas, saprasties varējām. Lai izbaudītu Bangkokas gaisotni, pārvietojāmies ar visu iespējamo Bangkokas sabiedrisko transportu. Super. Visiem iesaku izmantot Joke gidu.
We had a wonderful day touring the main temples in Bangkok with my boyfriend. “Joke” clearly knew a lot about the temples, and was keen to share his knowledge.
Also, he was able to accommodate changes to the tour where necessary e.g. when I got very tired we stopped for a rest and I even stopped for a massage (my boyfriend and Joke waiting for me nearby).
I felt to make the most of the guide’s knowledge it would be best to leave spare time to see the real Bangkok (ask Joke for tips).
Having Joke as our tour guide was the best idea we had. I’m sure we couldn’t have seen so many things if it wasn’t for him. He showed us how to use the public transport and that was really useful. Thank you Joke for the great restaurant you recommended and for making us those great photos!
Had a wonderful day with Joke in Bangkok on February 25th. It was a public holiday with the Grand Palace only open a few hours, but he was able to get us there, inside and show us Wat Prakeaw and Grand Palace. We had a interesting long boat trip on the canals, visited Wat Arun, had lunch, a walk through China Town and exciting tuk-tuk tour in between.
Joke has great knowledge of his country and history, is very pleasant and speaks English very good. We give him our best recommendations and would love to have spent more time with him – Next time, hopefully…..
We just finished our tour with Joker and had a great time. He was very helpful in making purchases and food selections. He also provided an excellent tour of the palace and had many interesting historical stories to share during our site visits. Highly recommended should you want to explore Bangkok.
Moreover, Joker is genuinely interested in you enjoying your time in Bangkok and is a very friendly person.
Joker was brilliant. He’s very knowledgeable and very friendly. He knew the sites and the history and we had a great 2 days with him in Bangkok.
I highly recommend him to anyone wanting a tour guide.
We had the pleasure of having Wallop ‘Joke’ Kittiwititkun as a tour guide in Bangkok for 2 consecutive days and we really got value for our money.
Wallop ‘Joke’ Kittiwititkun has a vast knowledge of Bangkok and its history. He knows all about temples, palaces and other attractions. His English is perfect and he is very polite and helpful. We particularly liked the use of public transport around the city. That way you get really seen city life.
Best recommendations from the Helene & John, Den
My husband & I were on a cruise which included 2 days in Pattaya, Thailand . We had just spent 5 days in Bangkok 2 years before so we were up for something different and hired Natt from Your Thai Guide, who assigned Joker to be our guide.
He was punctual, warm, creative and had spoke perfect English. We went to Ayutthaya, and to see everything in and around Pattaya. Joker made sure we had vegetarian options for our meals (try morning glory- yummy!!). He took photos for us & made our visit special.
Great journey and awesome guide. He’s the one we can trust, bring us so many information, history story and knowledge and he were taking care of us very well.
Thank you very much Joker.
Chok is a wonderful, friendly, humorous, thoughtful guide. Very detailed, cautious of our safety and gave us advises on traveling around Thailand. He is able to bring us around the temples i wanted to go for the appointed time as well. I am glad i have booked him. Why not you?
Our family of 6 adults and one child spent a day with Joke visiting the main attractions of Bangkok.
Joke was very helpful and knowledgeable. We had a very enjoyable day. I highly recommend Joker if you are after a personal and fun tour guide.
A friend and I recently spent 3 days touring Bangkok with our personal tour guide Joker. He was completely flexible on changes to our our schedule and destinations. We changed our minds more than once and he was always very accommodating.
He is very knowledgeable about all the tourist destinations (including shopping) and even knows the quirky destinations that are off the beaten tourist track. He constantly looks out for your personal safety, speaks good English, and is a fun person to be around. I highly recommend Joker to be your Bangkok tour guide.
As his name implies Joker was a lot a fun to be around on our day tour. My friend had never been to Thailand before so everything was new to him. Joker took the time to explains things showing his knowledge of Thai culture/history. His English was clear, and easy to understand.
We packed many things into the day but we were not exhausted at the end. He made sure that we were comfortable and stayed in the shade as much as possible. I will recommend Joker and this tour service to my friends who are planning a trip to Thailand without hesitation. I had been on a tour years ago but it was as part of a large group, private tours are much better. Thanks again Joker!
We decided to spend a few extra days in Bangkok before starting a tour of SE Asia. As our tour was going to include the major sights We booked Joke to give us an introduction to getting around Bangkok, show us a couple of temples not on our tour, and we wanted to do a long tail canal tour and walk through China Town. We also booked a second day for early the next week to see the train market and floating market.
Joke met us at our hotel, helped us with having to change hotels and then took us on the subway, a canal taxi, on a tour of the Golden Mount, aTuk Tuk a tour of the Marble Temple then a taxi to the river pier for a canal tour. We had a great lunch at a street vendors, took a river taxi and explored the China Town markets.
We found Joke to be very helpful, informative and knowledgable. We learned a great deal about Thai history, Buddhist beliefs and daily rituals and ended the day feeling very capable of getting around Bangkok on our own.
At the end of the day we sat with Joke and arranged what we wanted to see on the other day we had booked with him. We wanted to see the train market and the floating market but wanted something different for the rest of the day. Joke suggested a boat trip through a mangrove swamp, a chance to feed swimming monkeys and then on to see where the fishermen grow and collect cockles and oysters.
We left early 6:45 to make sure we saw the train come through the market. Joke walked us through the whole market and positioned us in a great spot for photos as the train came through and the vendors moved their wares out of the way and then replaced them after the train went through.
Joke pointed out various seafood and explained what it was.
After touring the floating market we went to Home Krateng and a tour with a local fisherman. This was a highlight of our experiences in Bangkok as we got feed the swimming monkeys, saw lots of wildlife, saw how the fisherman cultivate cockles, got to harvest some to see how it is done, saw how the oysters are grown and then had an amazing seafood lunch in a building on stilts out on the water.
Joke listened to our requests, was very helpful and a great guide. English is not his first language but we found we could communicate well with him.
Joker was a fantastic guide, from the moment he met us at our hotel to leaving us at the train station he couldn’t have been more helpful.
Our day was spent visiting a number of sites in Bangkok and Joker filled us in with information at every step of the way, even while we were stuck in a traffic jam on our way to the first temple!
I would highly recommend joker and wouldn’t hesitate to use him again if we are ever lucky enough to visit Bangkok again.
We spent 2 days with Joke and it really enhanced our experience of visiting Bangkok. He showed us round his city with confidence and humor. He imparted his knowledge of Thai history, architecture and culture. He kept us informed about observing traditions and ensured our safety.
We are a retired couple with no experience of SE Asia, and we appreciated his tips on using taxis, his help crossing the road with crazy drivers, and choosing lovely places to eat lunch. We really enjoyed our visit.
We spent only one day with Joke- but would have happily spent the whole week with him by our side! His humor and upbeat personality set us at ease and relaxed us; there was never a stilted or awkward moment. His knowledge is impeccable, he was able to answer all our questions- even the ones I initially felt were too silly to ask.
His passion for his home country is obvious and infectious. In addition, he kept us safe and imparted invaluable advice, giving us his card so we can call any time. Having a guide meant we not only saw some of the real Bangkok away from the tourist (and rip-off) hotspots, but were also able to fit in far more in a day than we every would have managed independently. Booking through the guide company was easy and stress-free, and their communication was good all along.
I would recommend this company, but more specifically Joke wholeheartedly, to anyone who wants to see Bangkok in the company of a true, enthusiastic expert.
Joker was great had 2 great days of sightseeing. Always punctual and smiling. Jokers knowledge of the history of his country is extensive. He is very well spoken and has a very helpful, pleasant, calming and friendly personality and a good sense of humor too.
Nothing was too much trouble either – he even came back to our hotel after hours when we left a mobile phone in a taxi and made some calls for us to try to recover it. Highest recommendation for his tour guiding.
I booked with Natt after reading reviews on Trip Advisor and was helped endlessly with arranging a private 2 day tour of Bangkok and the surrounding area, our guide was Joker who is really fantastic.
He met us promptly at the hotel and we spent the first day going round all the must see places like the palace and temples + a great canal tour. The second day we toured out of Bangkok to the floating market, train market a fishing village and more, met and fed wild monkeys and had lots of laughs. Joker is extremely knowledgeable and gave us lots of facts about the history, customs and culture of the
Thai people. He is great fun to be with, funny and so caring that other than giving us pointers to look out for he also contacted us on the days we were not touring with him to check we were OK and made us promise to call if we had any problems. I would recommend him and the company to anyone traveling to Thailand.
Thanks a lot Joker for the great 2 days.
I had a wonderful experience with Joke as a guide. We spent 3 days together, and we tailored a great experience after discussing what to see and do. He has a deep respect and good knowledge for Thai culture, and I learned so much. Sure, one can use a guide book (I usually tour solo and research everything myself), but Joke explained all the places we went in detail, and covered so much more that one doesn’t find in a guide book, like info about local politics, the economy, the day to day life of the average Thai, and so on.
Being a physician, he took me to 2 hospital complexes, where we stopped and chatted with various medical personnel, learning more about medical care in Thailand. Plus, since he knew I was interested in seeing local life devoid of tourist areas, we went through many back streets, smaller local markets, tried various street foods. He was equally wonderful on a day trip out of Bangkok, and arranged a long day catering to my interest in seeing wildlife, a nice forest trek at Erawan Falls, etc. Our 3 days together were truly a delightful experience, a far richer experience than using a guide book, and I wholeheartedly recommend Joke. I can honestly say what started as a guide ended up as a friend.
Joke was a very good tour guide and as extensive knowledge, he has a good sense of humor. I would recommend him highly. We had a very good time with him and was helpful at all times.
