Old Town Walking Tour & Local Food
Truly local experience
I booked a tour on a very challenging date: both river and lots of streets in the centre were closed. Fortunately Chawana handled it great and adjusted the tour to make the most of it.

Nice visit
Chawana was very friendly and efficient. I would not have been to visit all these wonderful places without his knowledge of the city and most efficient way to go from one place to another without losing time.
Thanks to him I could see the most beautiful temples but also non touristic places (in particular a local market where we had a delicious lunch and where I was the only tourist).
As he says himself, he is not a profesionnal guide but a local friend showing you his city. This is exactly what it was.

A fantastic tour
My guide Chawana is awesome! He took me around Bangkok to just about every major wat in the central part of the city, going way above and beyond what the tour advertised! We even got to go to a couple of his favorite local Thai food spots, where he ordered some yummy dishes I had never seen before! Great experience. Great guy!
