Your Thai Guide

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.
